Is acrylic plastic renewable

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Actually it can be.

Although in the making process it releases lots of harmful toxins once the material is completed it can be 100% recycled.

So it is sustainable to the extent, if there is enough existing material in order to maintain an existing demand then all we have to do is heat it and re-mould it (super heating is part of our everyday manufacturing process but if you wanted to be anal than you could use renewable energy to do this).

Obviously if we have to start making new material than its entirely not sustainable without gas filtering. (Biffa are actually developing a method of turning toxic gases into liquid fuel).

Sustainability is never a single answer.

Answer 3

All plastics are made from petrochemicals, i.e. oil.

Plastics are relatively stiff materials made of polymers (long molecules made of smaller molecular units joined together) and other ingredients such as fillers, pigments (for color), plasticizers, flow improvers, and stabilizers. so, they are not renewable.

for exceptional case it depends for asking questions just gimme a quick email @ usmanasees@hotmail.com

Answer 4

No, as acrylic is a type of plastic. Plastic is made from oil which is a non-renewable resource. Therefore acrylic is non-renewable

Answer 5

It is not. It comes from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource. Plastic can be melted down and re-used, but eventually it will be very difficult to make any new plastic.

Answer 6

No

Answer 7

no because acrylic is made from metal and metal is made of oil and oil is not recyclable.
