Polybutylene succinate (PBS) (sometimes written polytetramethylene succinate) is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. PBS is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester with properties that are comparable to polypropylene. It may also be referred to by the brand names GsPLA or BioPBS (Mitsubishi Chemical). [1]
ASA can be glued with cyanoacrylates; uncured resin can however cause stress cracking. ASA is compatible with acrylic-based adhesives. Anaerobic adhesives perform poorly with ASA. Epoxies and neoprene adhesives can be used for bonding ASA with woods and metals. [4] ASA waste can be combined with sand for pavement structures.
Recycling codes on products. Recycling codes are used to identify the materials out of which the item is made, to facilitate easier recycling process.The presence on an item of a recycling code, a chasing arrows logo, or a resin code, is not an automatic indicator that a material is recyclable; it is an explanation of what the item is made of.
High-performance plastics are thus about 3 to 20 times as expensive as engineering plastics. [2] In the future, a significant price decline cannot be expected, since the investment costs for production equipment, the time-consuming development, and the high distribution costs are going to remain constant.

Demand for plastic resins in Europe during 2017 as a percentage of total plastic demand. [1] A comparison of standard plastics, engineering plastics, and high-performance plastics Commodity plastics or commodity polymers are plastics produced in high volumes for applications such as packaging, food containers, and household products, including ...
POM is a strong and hard plastic, about as strong as plastics can be, and therefore competes with e.g. epoxy resins and polycarbonates. The price of POM is about the same as that of epoxy. There are two main differences between POM and epoxy resins: epoxy is a two-component resin that can be cast, and adheres to everything it touches,

LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]
