Status Quo of Plastic Products Industry: Development of Toughness Continuously Promotes the Output of Daily Plastic Products to Become the Fastest Growing Products

Compared with other materials, plastic has five characteristics of performance: light weight, excellent chemical stability, excellent electrical insulation performance, poor thermal conductor, with noise reduction, shock absorption, the mechanical strength is spread across a wide range, high specific strength. After several years of development, plastic product manufacturing has become an extensive industry. As environmentally friendly protection is increasingly reflected in people's consciousness in recent years and the deeper development of the "Replace Plastic with Bamboo" action, much more attention was given by the plastic products industry to coordinated development in a pursuit of sustainable development while continuously developing new processes, new materials, and new products to meet the needs of consumers; the operation situation of the whole industry also remained stable on the whole.
