Difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic?
the answer is thermoplastics can be melted down and moulded into something different, hence why they are so easy to recycle. Where as thermosetting plastics cannot be melted down after it has already set. This is due to the bonds in the hydrocarbon formula (plastics are made out of hydrocarbons, hydrogen and carbon atoms). Thermoplastics have an alkene bond which means the hydrocarbon shares an atom with two bonds making it more reactive; and hence easy to recycle. Thermosetting on the other hand has normal bonding.

Example of things made out of thermosetting plastics?
Epoxy is a good example Or rubber. Basically any plastic that transforms with heat, and cant be transformed back. Thermosetting plastic or epoxy is a compond that when heated will cure and maintain it's shape even when heated again. Usually the compaound has to be mixed with hardeners and fillers then heated. Once cooled they will remain hard even if re-heated.
What are kind of plastic are plastic spoons made out of?
The plastic used to make a plastic spoon is usually a thermoplastic called polypropylene. A plastic spoon would be made in the process called injection molding, where thermoplastic resin is injected into a metal die, containing a cavity in the shape of a spoon. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic where they can be formed using heat to soften and melt them. Polypropylene would be specifically chosen for a spoon because it has the properties of higher heat tolerance, meaning the spoon could be used to stir a hot cup of coffee without problems. Usually food grade PP is used for spoon. Besides PP, PS is also used. IF any interest in buying plastic spoon moulds, pls contact sinomould-13@hotmai.com
What polymer is a plastic bowling ball made out of?
Usually polyester; some modern balls are based on urethanes instead. Older balls were hard rubber, which is also a polymer but would not be considered "plastic" by most people. There's a more dense "core" in the ball that's made of a composite material, so the ball weighs more than a solid piece of the outside plastic would.

The best thing you can do, depending on what your packaging, is not using styrofoam for packing. This is very harmful to the environment as it is not biodegradable and usually burned. Also the person receiving the package should recycle any plastic/paper that was used in the packaging.
What plastics are thermosetting plastics?
Thermosetting plastics are a type of plastic made of long, cross-linked molecule chains. Their structures are very rigid. Thermosetting plastics can be moulded and shaped when heated, yet they cannot be heated again after they set.
