DEFINITION OF PLASTIC • A plastic is a type of synthetic or man-made polymer; similar in many ways to natural resins found in trees and other plants. • Webster's Dictionary defines polymers as: “any of various complex organic compounds produced by polymerization, capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films, or drawn into filaments and then used as textile fibers”. • Plastics are used because they are: •Attractive •Hard •Soft & Rubbery •Easy To Clean

•Light Weight •Hygienic •Easy To Shape & Color •Economical •Flexible

INTRODUCTION • In this modern era a world without plastics is unimaginable. • Plastics can be made to resemble and replace such diverse materials as metal, wood, glass, stone, cloth, rubber, cardboard and leather etc. • It is used in manufacturing automobiles, television, refrigerators, electrical goods, furniture, house-ware, defense products, etc. • The plastic industry of Pakistan has seen a remarkable average annual growth rate of around 15 per cent during the last four years against a global average of 8 per cent despite severe technical and institutional impediments.

5

HISTORY • 1953 - First plastics and polymer research center created with the establishment of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) in Karachi. Plastics resin is sold for Rs.3.05 per pound in local markets. • 1963 - Average prices of plastics resin move up only 90 Paisas in ten years. Exports Promotion Bureau is created. • 1966 - Arkoy Chemical Industries becomes the first unit in Pakistan to manufacture PVC pipes. • 1967 - Famous brand of PVC pipes "Galco" is introduced in local markets. • 1971- Government begins to compile statistics of imports. Plastics raw materials imports are recorded at 30.7 million rupees. 6

HISTORY (CONT..) • 1973 - 120% increase is recorded in the prices of plastics resins in 20 years. Plastics products worth 0.465 million are exported for the first time. • 1980 - Pakistan Plastics Manufacturers Association is formed. The association is registered with the Ministry of Commerce in the month of May. • 1982- Poly Industries sets up a cast acrylic and polystyrene sheet plant at Hub, Lasbella, some 35 km west of Karachi. • In 1988,Plastics Technology Center (PTC) was established by FCCCL (The Federal Chemicals & Ceramics Cooperation Limited), in Karachi. With the inauguration of the centre in October, polymer sciences education begins in Pakistan, which later on provides highly qualified and skilled manpower to the plastics industry. 7

GLOBAL OVERVIEW • With a global annual average growth rate of around 7.5 per cent, consumption of all types of polymers has increased from 8 million tons in 1960 to around 180 million tons in 2003. • The South East Asian countries have registered fastest growth of 15 per cent and are expected to continue growing at much higher rate in future. • Production of major plastics raw materials like Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Polystyrene (PS) is a capital-intensive activity and is thus confined to large scale manufacturing sector. • The downstream plastic processing industry is mostly concentrated in the small-scale sector owing to high labor to capital ratio. 8

GLOBAL OVERVIEW (CONT..) • Such industries are ideally suited for creating employment opportunities. According to an estimate, 5 workers are required for processing 10 tons of plastics. • Plastics consumption has traditionally been the highest in USA, Europe and Japan amounting to 75% of global consumption. • Consumption in China, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and India has increased manifold during the last few years.

TYPES OF PLASTICS •

There are two types of plastic produces in Pakistan.

1.

Thermoplastics

2.

Thermosetting Plastics

14

THERMOPLASTICS • Plastics, which are capable of being repeatedly softened by heat and hardened by cooling, are called Thermoplastics. • Polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Poly Propylene (PP), etc. fall in this category.

15

THERMOSETTING PLASTICS • These are plastics which when cured change into a substantially infusible or insoluble product. • These plastics are generally produced by addition polymerization. • This category includes phenol formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, polyglycol, etc.

16

RAW MATERIALS • Polyethylene (PE) • Polypropylene (PP) • Polystyrene (PS) • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

17

POLYETHYLENE (PE) • PE, the leading thermoplastic material, has established its usage in packaging film, household articles, automotive and industrial parts. • Valika Chemicals, Karachi was producing polyethylene in 1960s, which has since closed down. Now there is no plant producing polyethylene.

18

POLYPROPYLENE (PP) • PP is used in the form of woven bags, household articles, furniture and packaging film. • There is no plant producing polypropylene at present.

19

POLYSTYRENE (PS) • PS is being consumed in electrical and electronic parts, household articles, automotive parts and packing material. • Pak Petrochemical Industries, Karachi is producing polystyrene from imported styrene. • This plant started production in 1987 with an initial capacity of 5,000 MTPY. The capacity has now reached 27,000 MTPY. • There are three grade of PS produced.

LAHORE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY • Lahore Chamber is a premium institution providing different kinds of services to Plastic Industry. • These activities range from providing membership of the institution to holding different International Exhibitions. • Standing committee on Petro-Chemicals & Plastic meet once in a month to discuss issues and problems of the sector and then formulate proposals to be sent to the government or raised through the chamber platform.

49

SUPPORT SERVICE INSTITUTION

•

There are two support service institution.

1.

Financial Institution

2.

Technical Institution

50

1. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION • Commercial banks and specialized Financial Institutes (SME Bank, PICIC, etc.) are individually linked to the industry. • The demand of the cluster has been on the increase for expansion and the finances are mostly required for working capital needs, longer term supply contracts and machinery leasing. • The Loan Repayment history of the cluster on the whole has been remarked as excellent.

51

2. TECHNICAL INSTITUTION •

Technical institution are also divided into two categories.

A.

Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority

B.

Plastic Injection Mold Technology Development Project

52

A. TECHNICAL EDUCATION & VOCATIONAL TRAINING AUTHORITY • The Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) is a significant endeavor of the Government of Punjab, which focuses on the development of human resource in terms of skill up gradation for men and women. • They also acquire skills whereby they can also set up their own small industrial or service establishments. • TEVTA has also ensured liaison with industry at all levels in terms of the technical training as well ensuring relevant curriculum to suit industrial needs. • Presently TEVTA and plastic Industry are not properly associated and the courses offered by the institute are outdated and requires updating the curriculum. 53

B. PLASTIC INJECTION MOLD TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT •

•

In the first phase the staff members were trained by Japanese experts in the injection molding technology.

•

In the second phase the market demands were collected to formulate the services of the center.

•

Three kinds of services are planned to be provided to the Plastic Products Industry; Training Courses & Seminars Backup Support Services Advisory services

1. 2. 3.

54

B. PLASTIC INJECTION MOLD TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT • In the coming years this center will be highly productive and helpful with the available resources. • This center received a lot of demand for technical trainings and mold designing from the Lahore plastic products manufacturers.

55

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS • Plastic bags are an environmental hazard and their production and use need to be disallowed in the country. • Used plastic bags are found in abundance in the streets and are responsible for clogging drains and sewerage lines. • In the rural areas, these bags decrease the productivity of the arable land because they do not rot or turn into compost. The most dangerous are the black bags, made of recycled plastic which increases their toxic content.

56

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS (CONT) • Plastic's non-biodegradability poses serious environmental and health problems. In addition, the additives used in processing plastics results in the presence of substances that are a serious health hazard. • Burning the waste releases dioxin - a class of 75 chemicals - which is carcinogenic and causes birth defects and other serious ailments like cancer.
