For close to a hundred years. The use of the modern plastics that are generally in use today would date back about 50 years. ---- Further details Plastics were first utilised (by Australians) during World War I. The Australian plastics processing industry then began around 1917. The benefits of plastics began to be recognised when, in September 1934, Sydney Technical College's Chemical Society and the Sydney Technological Museum worked together to develop what was apparently the first Plastics Industry Exhibition in Australia. World War II provided the catalyst for the development of the plastics industry in Australia as the supply of raw materials became harder to obtain. Plastic moulds became especially useful in the manufacture of munition supplies, and Perspex was developed for use in defence aircraft windows. After the war, manufacturers saw the benefits of plastics in everyday use, beginning with kitchen mouldings and kitchenwares.
