Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be moulded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of various shapes.
This adaptability, plus a wide range of other properties, such as being lightweight, durable, flexible, and inexpensive to produce, has led to its widespread use. Plastics typically are made through human industrial systems. Most modern plastics are derived from fossil fuel-based chemicals like natural gas or petroleum; however, recent industrial methods use variants made from renewable materials, such as corn or cotton derivatives 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic are estimated to have been made between 1950 and 2017.
More than half this plastic has been produced since 2004. In 2020, 400 million tonnes of plastic were produced. If global trends on plastic demand continue, it is estimated that by 2050 annual global plastic production will reach over 1,100 million tonnes.
There are many manufacturing plastic companies in Ghana that are core container manufacturers and wholesale distributors of plastics, chairs, tables and other plastic products. This post shows some of the top plastic companies from Accra, Tema, Kumasi and other industrial areas in Ghana.
Plastic products are manufactured from high-density plastics. Common uses for plastic bottles or plastic bottle containers are for storing liquids especially natural mineral water, soft drinks, motor oils, cooking oils, shampoo, ink, medicine, and milk.
Plastic collection and recycling is largely ineffective because of failures of contemporary complexity required in cleaning and sorting post-consumer plastics for effective reuse.
Most plastic produced has not been reused, either being captured in landfills or persisting in the environment as plastic pollution.
