| Abstract: | The plastics processing industry is a relatively young industry. Plastic achieved its breakthrough in the 1950s and 1960s with the rapid development of petrochemicals. Since then we have seen a continuous increase in the number of different plastics, which have displaced more traditional materials in a large number of fields of application. At the same time new product and markets have been created on the basis of plastics. Until the beginning of the 1990s the plastics industry was among the fastest growing of all branches in the German economy. |
