Why is plastic bad?
Plastics are petroleum based products from oil. They can't break down easily which mean they take a very long time to break down, making disposing difficult. However recycling is good and can mean plastics can be reused as new things such as packaging materials. hope this helps!
Why thermosetting plastics can not be remoulded?
There are two types of plastic: thermosetting and thermoplastic.Thermosetting plastics, such as Bakelite, use resins that are baked into their final form, usually in a mould. The chemical reaction of baking changes the resin so that it can no longer become fluid if reheated. These plastics cannot be "remolded", only powdered and put to other uses.Thermoplatics (the bulk of plastic materials) use resins that are not baked in their moulds. Thermoplastics are heated until they flow, then cast into shape. Because they are only heated to flow temperature, no chemical reaction of heating occurs, and they can be re-moulded in a recycling process.p.s. Bakelite is named for its inventor, Baekland, not because of its processing. True Bakelite is dark brown to black, so light-coloured "hard plastic" radio cabinets are *not* Bakelite - they are commonly Catalin, urea formaldehyde, or some other resin.
