|
The main component of plastics is polymers, which come in a variety of synthetic and semi-synthetic forms. Plastics can be molded, extruded, or pressed into solid objects with varied shapes because of their property called plasticity. Plastics are everywhere we look, including our daily lives like furniture, electronics, clothing, food packaging, toys etc. From decades the plastic has spread all over manufacturing field replacing natural material like wood, paper, glass, and metal. This pervasive use of plastic had expedited to extreme pollution in the environment. In the present study the waste plastic is used for making traffic control devices. The waste plastic is collected from various sources, shredding is done to fine particles. By preparing moulds of required size the waste plastic is poured into the mould and traffic control devices are prepared as per IRC guideline. Testing and decoration is done. |
