What is the difference between the two types of plastics?
thermoplastics can be melted / heated up and re-moulded into a completely new shape. usually once re-heated they will re-take their original shape. Thermosetting Plastics cannot be melted down or re-shaped once they have originally set.

How are plastics catergorised?
They are classified according to their strength, rigidity, plasticity, and boiling/melting temperatures. They are classified according to their strength, rigidity, plasticity, and boiling/melting temperatures.

What are thermosettings and therosoftening polymers?
Polymers are plastic. Thermosoftening is hard when it is cold and flexible when it is warm. Thermosetting is flexible when cold and hard when hotThermosetting plastics are polymers that, once heated, melted and moulded, cannot be re-moulded as the bond between their molecules are too strong. Thermosoftening plastics are polymers which can be re-moulded many times as the bonds between the molecules are very weak. Thermosetting plastics can only be shaped once. Thermosoftening plastics can be shaped and re-shaped many times. :) hope this is helpful x
What is the opposite of thermosoftening?
Thermosetting, these plastics are rigid, resistant to higher temperatures compared with thermoplastics and once set, a thermosetting plastic cannot be remoulded.
Why do thermosoftening plastics soften when heated?
Better known as thermoplastic, its' plastic which goes soft when it's hot, and hard at normal temperature. most plastics around us are thermoplastics. you can heat them, up, change their shape, then let them cool down as many times as you want. thermosetting plastics on the other hand, start out as a resin, which you can heat up or melt then make into the desired shape, after that though, they can't be reshaped like thermoplastics can.

What types of plastic are compostable?
The types of plastics that are compostable are typically ones that can be broken down in compost conditions that leave no carbon footprint on the environment. Many of these plastics are made out of corn starch. Also, plastics cannot be recyclable if they are compostable.
