Above all, plastics are used because of the unique combination of benefits they offer;
Durability: The long polymer chains which constitute the plastics raw material make it extraordinarily difficult to break.
Safety: Plastics packaging is shatterproof and does not fragment into dangerous shards when dropped. For more information on the safety of plastic packaging, as well as its safety in contact with food, visit plastic packaging safety.
Hygiene: Plastics packaging is ideal for the packaging of foodstuffs, medicines and pharmaceuticals. It can be filled and sealed without human intervention. The materials used, both plastics raw materials and additives, fulfill all food safety legislation at national and European Union levels. Plastics products are customarily used as medical devices in intimate contact with body tissue and conform to the highest standards of safety in their life-saving uses.
Security: Plastics packaging can be produced and used with tamper-evident and child resistant closures. The transparency of the pack enables users to examine the condition of the goods prior to purchase.
Light Weight: Plastics packaging items are low in weight but high in strength. Hence products packed in plastics are easy to lift and handle by consumers and by personnel in the distribution chain.
Design Freedom: The properties of the materials combined with the array of processing technologies employed in the industry, ranging from injection and blow moulding to thermoforming, enable the production of an infinite number of pack shapes and configurations. Additionally the extensive range of colouring possibilities and the ease of printing and decoration facilitate brand identification and information for the consumer.
For more information on the reasons why plastic packaging is used
The nature of plastics technology with its wide variety of raw materials and processing techniques permits the manufacture of packaging in an infinite variety of shapes, colours and technical properties. Practically anything can be packed in plastics - liquids, powders, solids and semi-solids.
2.1 Some examples of plastics packaging:
Bottles
Bulk Containers
Pails
Pots
Returnable Transit Packaging
Trays
3.1 Plastics packaging saves energy
Because it is lightweight plastics packaging can save energy in the transport of packed goods. Less fuel is used, there are lower emissions and, additionally, there are cost savings for distributors, retailers and consumers.
A yogurt pot made from glass weighs about 85grams, while one made from plastics only weighs 5.5grams. In a lorry filled with a product packed in glass jars 36% of the load would be accounted for by the packaging. If packed in plastic pouches the packaging would amount to just 3.56%. To transport the same amount of yogurt three trucks are needed for glass pots, but only two for plastic pots .
3.2 Plastics packaging is an optimal use of resources
Because of the high strength / weight ratio of plastics packaging it is possible to pack a given volume of product with plastics rather than with traditional materials.
It has been shown that if there was no plastics packaging available to society and there was necessary recourse to other materials overall packaging consumption of packaging mass, energy and GHG emissions would increase.

3.3 Plastics packaging prevents food waste
Almost 50% of the total amount of food thrown away in the UK comes from our homes. We throw away 7.2 million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year in the UK, and more than half of this is food and drink we could have eaten. Wasting this food costs the average household £480 a year, rising to £680 for a family with children, the equivalent of around £50 a month.
The durability and sealability of plastics packaging protects goods from deterioration and increases shelf life. With modified atmosphere packaging made from plastics, shelf life can be increased from 5 to 10 days, allowing food loss in stores to be reduced from 16% to 4%.
Traditionally grapes were sold in loose bunches. Grapes are now sold in sealed trays so that the loose ones stay with the bunch. This has reduced waste in stores typically by over 20%.
3.4 Plastics packaging: continuous improvements through innovation
There is a strong record of innovation in the UK&#;s plastics packaging industry.
Technical advances and design flair have reduced the quantity of plastics packaging needed to pack a given quantity of product over time without sacrificing the pack&#;s strength or durability. For example a 1 litre plastic detergent bottle which weighed 120gms in now just weighs 43gms, a 64% reduction.
Society&#;s consumption levels rose by 20% between and . However the use of plastics packaging only rose by 4% .

4.1 Oil and gas in context &#; carbon savings with plastics packaging
Plastics packaging is estimated to account for just 1.5% of oil and gas use, the BPF estimate. The chemical building blocks for plastics raw materials are derived from by- products of the refining process which originally would have had no other uses.
Whilst the vast majority of oil and gas is consumed in transport and heating , the usefulness of that used for plastics manufacture is extended by the recyclability of plastics and the potential for recovering its energy content at the end of its life in waste to energy plants.
A study in Canada showed that to replace plastic packaging with alternative materials involve the consumption of 582 million gigajoules more energy and would create 43 million tonnes of additional CO2 emissions. The energy saved each year by using plastics packaging is equivalent to 101.3 million barrels of oil or the amount of CO2 produced by 12.3 million passenger cars.
4.2 Re-usable plastics packaging
Many types of plastics packaging are long &#; life artifacts. Returnable crates, for example, have life spans of over 25 years or more and re-usable bags are playing a greater role in responsible retailing.
4.3 A strong recycling record
Plastics packaging is eminently recyclable and a growing range of plastics packaging incorporates recyclate. EU legislation now permits the use of plastics recyclate in new packaging intended for food stuffs.
In June the Government Advisory Committee on Packaging (ACP) announced that in /11 24.1% of all plastics packaging was recycled in the UK and this achievement exceeded the target figure of 22.5% stated by the government. The UK plastics recycling industry is one of the most dynamic in the EU with some 40 companies constituting the BPF&#;s Recycling Group.
Recycling 1 tonne of plastic bottles saves 1.5 tonnes of carbon and one plastic bottle saves enough energy to run a 60 watt light bulb for 6 hours .
4.4 Energy from waste
Plastics packaging can be recycled six or more times before its properties are weakened. At the end of its life plastics packaging can be submitted to energy from waste schemes. Plastics have a high calorific value. A mixed basket of plastics products made from Polyethylene and Polyproplylene, for example, would, at 45 MJ/kg, have a much greater net caloric value than coal at 25 MJ/kg.

5.2 BPF Packaging Group Guide
The BPF's Packaging Group is made up of over 80 companies supplying plastic packaging products, including blow moulding, thermoforming and film. The guide below gives details of all members of the Group.
In the market, there are different materials and alternatives for packaging, but plastic packaging is always considered the most recommended choice due to its high strength, low cost, and high flexibility. Over the years, plastic packaging is still popular and people are using it more often.
1. Why is plastic packaging so popular?
Due to many useful functions, plastic packaging serves in many different ways in modern life.
Display information
Plastic packaging allows manufacturers to include important product information on the packaging such as preservatives, nutrients, product usability, recommended amounts, and more.
Long-term preservation
To preserve food longer, manufacturers are using plastic packaging. This will reduce the potential for product waste and allow consumers to use the product for a longer time than before.

To protect vulnerable products during transportation, plastic packaging is the best choice. It can also protect food from moisture, gases, insects, microorganisms, pollution, and light.
Transport
Compared to other alternative materials, plastic packaging allows manufacturers to transport products from long distances. Plastic packaging makes transportation more efficient by saving space.
2. Advantages of using Plastic Packaging
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.
Durable plastics consume less energy during the production process than metals, too, in part due to how light they are.
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.
With this winning combination of being lightweight and strong, plastic packaging protects your product without adding bulk. It also saves you in manufacturing and shipping costs.
The lightness of plastic is also closely tied to its superior sustainability. Its comparatively low weight contributes to its lower energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions over other materials.
It&#;s sustainable
Though many think plastics are a detriment to the environment, the opposite is true, such as plastic&#;s resistance to corrosion and its bio-inertness, make plastics very resource-efficient.
Plastic packaging is also easily and frequently recycled.
It&#;s versatile
You can mold plastic into essentially limitless shapes. Think of the vast variety of plastics packaging you see all the time.
It&#;s hard to think of a packaging material more versatile than plastic. Here are just a few things it can do:
Fit packaging to your product precisely with a custom-made mold.
Form packaging into a box, sphere, cylinder, or any other shape.
Seal a product tightly or provide a simple open frame or hanger.
Package something as small as a button cell battery or as large as a pallet of bicycles.
Hold hot foods, cold liquids, acids, or bases.
It&#;s cost-effective
Due to its lightweight, plastic packaging saves over alternatives when it comes to shipping and transportation costs. It saves both in the cost to get products to consumers and in the cost to get post-consumer materials to recycling centers.
3. Disadvantages of Using Plastic Packaging
Except for the long list of advantages of plastic packaging, there are also some disadvantages that make use doubt the characteristics of plastic.
Let&#;s learn some disadvantages that have become the most common downfall of the use of plastic packagings.
Low Melting Point
In comparison with other packaging material, the most common downfall of plastic is that they have low melting points.
This means the plastic packaging doesn&#;t withstand in an area where the temperature is a little high.
Due to low melting points, plastics cannot be used in furnaces. Some plastic products are highly flammable such as nylons, polyethylene, acrylics, and polyesters.
These materials are commonly used in offices and home appliances. Low melting point also makes plastic a fire hazard material.
Degradation of the environment
Plastics are non-degradable materials. The decay of this material is not easy. It might take centuries and cause pollution in the environment.
Due to the strong bonding of intermolecular forces, the molecules in the plastic material are constituted.
This property makes sure that the structure of plastic neither decomposes nor corrodes for several thousand years.
The plastic material that is disposed of indecently restricted is washed away by water reservoirs. The plastic clogs the natural sources of water and floats on reservoirs.
This causes pollution and makes water unsightly and useless for humans.
Harmful for nature
The plastic material that is used in means of human consumption purposes, such as food packaging bags contains harmful components.
Improper disposal of plastic packages causes many harmful disadvantages and leads plastic to find its way into natural water bodies.
Here they will decay or resolve after thousands of years ago due to their nature of non-degradability. For animals, littered plastic means death because they can accidentally eat them and die because of choking.
Moreover, in the manufacturing of plastic fabrication, many destructive chemicals are included in the form of colorants, stabilizers, and high enduring substances.
Almost all the time, these chemicals are not undergone the ecological risk approval process and have a negative impact on human nature, and the well-being of the environment is disturbed with these materials.
Phthalates are a common example of plastic fabrication that is commonly used in the manufacturing of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
No matter how much plastic is recycled but there are always some that are remaining untouched and uncollected in dump sites and waste yards.
4. Should plastic packaging be used?
Currently, it is difficult to find a material that can replace plastic packaging because of its outstanding advantages. Plastic packaging plays a very important role in the food, beverage, consumer goods industry, etc.
And to limit their disadvantages, especially the bad effects on the environment, we need to be conscious of environmental protection such as:
Do not litter in public places
Put garbage in the right place and separate plastic waste after use
Collect and carry out plastic recycling in accordance with regulations
