What are the advantages of plastic

1. It’s durable.

Plastic can be as strong as steel. This durability protects your product — from perishable foodstuffs to fragile keepsakes to expensive electronics — from the wear and tear associated with production and shipping. Plastics packaging ensures your product shows up on store shelves or in your customers’ homes looking as good as new.

2. It’s lightweight.

Plastics are prized for being lightweight. Though over 50% of all European goods are packaged in plastics, these plastics only account for 17% of all packaging weight.

3. It’s sustainable.

Though many think plastics are a detriment to the environment, the opposite is true. Many of the qualities that critics call environmentally negative, such as plastic’s resistance to corrosion and its bio-inertness, make plastics very resource efficient.

4. It’s versatile

You can mold plastic into essentially limitless shapes. Think of the vast variety of plastics packaging you see all the time.
