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 are problems caused by plastic bags?

Plastic bags themselves have no harmful effects - the polymer itself, low density polythene, is perfectly safe, it's stable, non reactive, and non toxic. The problems that are frequently attributed to plastic bags (littering, the fact that they get entangled in trees, the fact that animals sometimes try to eat them and choke on them, the fact that they can end up in the sea and harm marine life) is nothing to do with the fact that they are plastic bags. It is entirely due to the fact that people don't handle them properly! You can take any substance, or item, however safe it might be, and handle it in a completely irresponsible way, and you will have problems, but that isn't the fault of the substance or item, is it? Carelessly throw hot coffee over someone and there will be harmful effects. Does that mean we should ban coffee?
