Commodity plastics are produced in high volumes for various applications where special material properties are not needed. Commodity plastics are inexpensive to produce and exhibit relatively weak mechanical properties than engineering plastics. Commodity plastics are used in variety of applications like packaging, photography, garbage containers, magnetic tapes, and clothing. Along with this, commodity plastics are also used in various industries like consumer goods industry, manufacturing industry, automotive industry, packaging industry, construction, electronics, pharmaceutical, and textiles industries. In addition, bio-based plastics are also produced to meet all the terms of stringent regulatory framework for plastic usage. This plastics are lighter, resistant to abrasion and are easily recyclable and can be molded into variety of shapes.
