Introduction: 

Now in this era a world without plastic products is unimaginable.



Its is used in manufacturing automobiles, television, refrigerators, electrical goods, furniture, house-ware, defense products, etc.



This industry is growing at an average annual growth of 15%.

History: 

 

In 1953, the First plastics and polymer research center was created with the establishment of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) in Karachi. 1963,Exports Promotion Bureau was created. 1966,Arkoy Chemical Industries becomes the first unit in Pakistan to manufacture PVC pipes.







In 1971,the Government began to collect statistics of imports of plastic products. In 1971,the products manufactured by nylon become widely popular. In 1980,Pakistan Plastics Manufacturers Association was formed, and was registered with the Ministry of Commerce in the month of May.





In 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 center in October, polymer sciences education begins in Pakistan, which later on provides highly qualified and skilled manpower to the plastics industry.

Pakistan produce following types of plastics :  Thermoplastic.

 Thermosetting

plastic.

Thermoplastics: Which are capable of being repeatedly soften by heat, and harden by cooling. Among the thermoplastic category ,bulk consumption is of Polyethylene (PE), Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) ,Poly Propylene (PP) ,Polystyrene (PS).

Thermosetting plastic: These are plastic, which ,when cured change in to a substantially infusible or in soluble products, these are generally produce by addition polymerization. it include Phenol formaldehyde ,Ureaform aldehyde , Polyglycol ,etc..

PS-Polystyrene:  

 

Pak petrochemical industries are producing PS from imported plastic resin. The production of PS began in 1987 ,and its production capacity was 5,000 mtpy and current capacity is 27,000 mtpy There are three grade of PS produced. The current demand is 35 mtpy well in future expansion would be easy, as the plants are high tech.

Recycling: The recycling of plastic scrap has developed into an industry in Pakistan. There are about 400 known units , which are engaged in recycling of plastic scraps. Well the plastic waste or scrap is not being imported .

Steps of recycling: Step 1: Collection of scraps: Sources for collection are,  Household waste.  Industrial plastic waste.  Plastic cans, container, etc.  Hospital waste.

Step 2 : Process stage:  Collection of scraps.  Sorting.  Cutting to reasonable sizes.  Washing.  Melting to form lumps.  Passing through cutter to have lumps into pieces.

Step 3 :Application:   

Household. Sandals. Washers and seals of water pipes.

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.



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.

 The

popular plastic bottles are actually unsuitable for storing drinking water because of the presence in them of cadmium, mercury and lead, which are mainly used to impart colors to them.

Problems: 



 

Sales tax for the organized sector in 15% whereas the unregistered buyers can get plastic by paying 16.5% sales tax. Export promotion bureau needs to enhance its cooperation with the manufacturers in international exhibitions. Lack of information on potential markets in a barrier to export growth. Incentive for deletion in limited to a few components.



Production and expensive machine are been affected by the interrupted power supply and damaging machines.



PSI is not playing its due role for the better quality control.



There are no export ware houses.



Lack of financial assistance.



Tariff on styrene monomer is 10% hence it should be reduced.



Intellectual property and copyrights laws are not strictly enforced.



High impact PS (which is imported) taxes has reduce from 25% to 10% which is effecting the local industry.

Suggestions: 

There is a great potential for export of plastic goods so, they have to establish plastic website providing information about not only exports but also about imports,international associations,and plastic processors in Pakistan.



There are no export warehouses in target market for example south African market..



Holding national and international exhibition.



Creation on plastic desk in EPB- Export Promotion Bureau .

Government policies: 



The Rules banned the use of plastic carry bags with a thickness less than 20 microns. The government has reduce the import duties in last budget due to which there had been increase in imports .
