THE AWAKENING
In a world full of compromise
and mediocrity, it becomes easy
to fall prey to a lifeless living. The
awakening, therefore, isn»t always
easy to achieve. Where it begins
though is always when we move
on from the mundane question
of WHY on to the more pertinent
WHY NOT.

out the research, development and innovation for the benefit of Pakistan Plastics
Business community who may exploit and may initiate investments in plastics
business opportunities. Pakistani entrepreneurs may use it for their benefits and to
generate revenue and employment in the country. There are lot of opportunities in
the field of plastics and nothing can stop the growth. PAKPLAS & PPMA, however

Chairman’s overview
Mind and Spirit
Dear Fellow Executives:
On behalf of the Executive Committee of PPMA and on
myself, I have the privilege to report about the plastics
industry in the country during the year 2012.
First Word
Upon assumption of the charge as the Chairman
of PPMA, I realize that it is not going to be an easy
assignment for me to head PPMA, which is the only
Plastics Association and voice of Plastics Industry in
Pakistan having national and international recognition.
My Executive members , office bearers and other
colleagues helped me lot to form strategies, formulate
policies and their implementation in organization. We
all discussed to make our Association a truly a plastics
representative body in Pakistan and worldwide . We
studied the working of the other Plastics Association
of the World with a mission to shape it in a way as
they are doing their job. We formulate short term and
long term policies and tried to work on it. There is no
scope of limit to help the plastics industry but we tried
to formulate the policies to give it a new look in our
capacity.
Here, I would like to give my brief opinion about the
economic performance and will confined myself on
the Plastics Industry of Pakistan.
Economic outlook:
During the last few years, Pakistan’s faced
unprecedented set of challenges which have impaired
the economy with irreparable losses. This need
concrete austerity measures from the Government
for normalization the economic affairs of the country.
The challenges are in the form of internal and external
threats. On the Internal front, the high rate of inflation,
slow pace of domestic and foreign investment, high
operational cost of industries and trading houses etc .
These threats were multiplied by the deteriorating law
and order situation immature governance. Subsequent
to this manifold crisis situation, trade and industrial
circles faced a drastic slowdown. Inflationary pressure
and high rates of food items further aggravated the
situation and overall segments of the society , in one
way or the other, remain affected.
Decline in GDP, Reduction in investment, Damaged
infrastructure, Loss of employment income, division of
budgetary resources to military and security spending,
great spending on war on terrorism and extremism,
cutback in public sector development, Inflation and
Exchange Rate depreciation, deteriorating public
utility departments are the reasons of havoc need to
be addressed seriously.
Future outlook:
The challenges need to be addressed and sincere
and strong measures should be taken to eliminate and
eradicate these causes. When there are problems,
there are opportunities
too. With an optimistic
approach we can vouch that the economic and
finance managers of the country would soon redress
the situation and country will be back to economic
progress. When there is a will there is a way. The
good governance, austerity measures, meritocracy
when applied will show the desired results.

Pakistan Plastics Industry:
PPMA Vision and Mission:
Plastics is a wonderful material. Plastics has
greater impact on the quality of life of people.
Innovation, new technologies has made possible
that nearly everything can be converted into
plastics. Plastics is being used in everything.
Pakistan
Plastics
Manufacturers
Association,
popularly known as PPMA is the voice of Pakistan
Plastics Industry. The Association is similar to the other
Plastics Association of the other countries in the world.
The voluntary members consists of large number of
plastics entrepreneurs spread all over the country. The
Association has its zonal office in Lahore.
The Pakistan plastics industry has the second
largest domestic market in South Asia after India.
Plastics is one of the kind Industry which seek
unlimited growth in coming years. Because of the
fundamental benefits of the material which has
encouraged all the allied Industries to convert
their most parts from metal to plastics which is a
vital aspect in growth of plastics industry.
The Pakistan Plastics Industry is divided into
organized and unorganized sectors. The organized
sector is producing quality products with their
brands and do OEM’s for auto and home appliance
industries.
The Plastic Industry has shown the significance
growth in the past decade but is slow in 2011
and 2012 because of shortage in electricity , gas
and law and order situation due to fight against
terrorism. This phenomena is going to be end
with the war ending in Afghanistan and Pakistan
borders, laying of tripartite and TAPI gas lines
and the recent capacity expansion in polystyrene,
BOPET films, master batches and PVC plants.
Pakistan has great potential due to its geographical
situation which provide excess to land lock
countries like Afghanistan and Central Asian
countries and its own population of around 200
million .
The current consumption in Pakistan is more
than 3 Kg which can easily be reached to 5 Kgs
by investment in R&d new technology to produce
high value added products for medical, automobile
and aero space parts.
Disposable packing consumption in Pakistan
is minimal and by generating awareness to
consumers consumption could be increased
manifold.
In addition there is huge potential of export to
Afghanistan and central Asian countries. Pakistan
is already late in initiating export to these countries
where China and India has already started and
most of their goods are routing through land route
of Pakistan .
To run the affairs of the PPMA it is governed by
Committees. A number of committees have been
formed i.e. Exports and Exhibition,
Taxation,
Publication and Office Administration etc. They are
responsible to plan strategies, streamlined policies,
organize and to implement it.
PPMA Zonal Office in Lahore covering the Punjab and
are responsible to plan autonomously. PPMA Lahore
is publishing a PAKPLAS directory for the great benefit
of the Plastics Industries in Pakistan similar in lines
with the other Plastics Association of the World.
In brief, the object of the association is to promote
plastics processing industries and raise its standards.
To urge and support cooperation between firms and
academia. Make representation at every forum in
Pakistan and on national and International level. Seek
affiliation with Chambers in Pakistan. Seek affiliation
with the Plastics Industry Association on worldwide
basis. Urge the Institutions in Pakistan to make their
academic curricular in lines with the plastics industries.
Last not but not least to organize seminars, exhibitions
in Pakistan to create awareness in Plastics Industry.
EXHIBITIONS:
Exhibition provides opportunity to build relationship
learn new ideas and explore future business. Generally
industry people attend the exhibition which took place
around the world, but now the regional exhibition are
become important as trade in the region is convenient
and can play an important role in the growth of plastic
industry in Pakistan.
PPMA has tried to exploit this medium and number of
exhibitions, seminars have been organized.
[ 27 ]
®
PPMA has joined hands
strategically with the
professional event Management FAKT to organize the
events. FAKT is doing their job successfully and their
efforts are commendable.
NAPHTA :THE ULTIMATE NEED OF
PLASTIC INDUSTRY.
Investment in upstream industries is ultimate to
grow fast and this also reduces a downstream
industry input material cost and save foreign
exchange up to US$ 270 million per annum as
against the investment of US$ 1.5 billion in NAPTHA
CRACKER PLANT.
It is an alarming state of affairs that in spite of all
persuasions of my predecessors to Governments
to establish NAPHTA Cracking Plant in Pakistan,
this could not be materialized.
Currently around 0.4 million tons of Naptha,
produces in Pakistan, is being exported at a very
cheap price to other countries. These countries
after refined it resale the same to Pakistan and
to other other countries making value addition.
Naphta Hydro Cracket Plant can produce a variety
of different raw materials like, polypropylene,
polyethylene and many aromatic solvents in
Pakistan. But the state run petroleum sector has
failed to develop a hydro cracker plant. India and
China has already developed it and getting great
benefits where Pakistan has no such plant.
PPMA strongly urge the Government to look into
the ultimate need and one such Plant must be
set up. Pakistan and China can enter into a joint
venture for establishing a NAPHTHA HYDRO
CRAKER PLANT IN PAKISTAN.
PPMA Publications:
In lines with the other Plastics Association of the
world, PPMA is publishing two publications. PAKPLAS
Magazine is published under the Pakplas Committee
and PAKPLAS Directory under the Pakplas Directory
committee in Zonal Office. Both the publications are
registered with the Trade Mark Registry, Government
of Pakistan.
PAKPLAS has got the national and international
recognition with its innovative style, designing, printing
and useful information contained therein. The annual
magazine is being issued regularly and the current
issue of the magazine is a 10th issue is of high
international quality.
LAST WORD:
Before concluding, I must quote the words of Father
of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah,
Trade and Industry are as vital as blood for the human
body”.
I would, therefore advice business community to build
capacity in human resource, product development and
explore the export markets.
I would like to express that whatever achievements we
witness we strive to progress, should be attributed as
a result of team work, devotion of my fellow executives.
I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to all
executive committee members, committee chairmen,
my colleagues in PPMA, Zonal office, Lahore who all
shared my work with open mind and provided their
valuable support and help. My thanks are due to
PPMA general body for their support and cooperation.
My thanks to Patron-in-Chief Mr Zakaria Usman for
his quick and ready references and great help. The
devotion of staff is thankful.
With these words, I conclude that Pakistan Plastics
Manufacturers Association, will exercise great efforts,
with more than zeal and enthusiasm to set new
benchmarks and promote the PPMA infinite horizon
beyond. I believe that Plastics Business Community
would uplift the plastics business to new horizons.
With all good wishes,
Imran Ghani
Chairman

Plastics Industry in
Pakistan.
Plastics industry in Pakistan is one of the oldest in the
country. At the time of independence, the industry was unorganized and progressed in a chaotic manner produced
very low quality products. The process of industrialization
in 1960s improved the production process through
introduction of new technology and diversification into
independent small scale units which further increased the
demand of cheap durable consumer goods.
At present, our plastic industry is the second largest
domestic market in South East Asia after India. This
industry contributes 1.6 percent in national output and
around Rs7.5 billion annually in the government revenue.
This industry has 624,200 M/T production capacity per
annum and is producing vide range of household and
other goods such as plastic furniture, radio and TV parts,
automobile and machinery parts, medical and surgical
instrument, PVC pipes, syringes, batteries and containers
for the oil industry etc. This industry has strong forward
linkage and plastic is only such item which is being used
in all products whether they are exported and are used in
local market.
There are 7 upstream and 6,000 downstream
production units in the country; which provide
employment directly and indirectly to 600,800 people.
The upstream units are currently working at the
capacity utilization of 45 percent whereas downstream
units are working at 95 percent. The downstream
industry was presently split into organized and unorganized sectors. The un-organized sector is much
larger than organized sector. There are 5,300 units
in unorganized sector compare to 700 in organized
sector. The organized sector was capable of
producing quality products whereas the unorganized
sector produced low quality, cheap products through
excessive use of plastic scrap. That’s why during the
last decade, the unorganized sector grew faster than
the organized sector.

Pakistan plastic industry produces two types of plastic
goods such as thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic.
This industry falls in small scale to medium scale
industries and scattered all provinces of countries. Punjab
produces 60 percent of total production followed by Sindh
30 percent, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 7 percent and 3 percent
in Baluchistan. There is only one big industry and some
small scale manufacturers in Pakistan who produce raw
material for this industry and fulfill only 10-20 percent of
plastic industry demand while more than 80 percent of
raw material demand is fulfilled from imports of different
countries. Pakistan mostly imported raw material from
UAE and other Eastern countries for plastic industry on
higher cost whereas this raw material is available in India
in huge quantity, who is also exporting to other countries.
This is hi-tech industry uses processing machinery which
imported mostly from Japan, Korea, Italy, Taiwan, Hong
Kong, England, China and Germany.
The total consumption of raw material used in the plastic
industry in the country is around 450,000 tonnes. The
price of raw material depends upon the price of crude
oil. Higher the price of crude oil in international market,
higher will be the cost of production of plastic products.
In International market Pakistan faces tough competition
from China, Thailand, Korea and India. The recent
penetration of cheap Chinese products into Pakistan
has made the competitive situation in the local plastic
industry very intense. Moreover, there is huge smuggling
from Iran which distorted our domestic industry with low
market rates and affects the domestic producers.

Plastics Industry in Pakistan.
Plastic has become an integral part of the modern living,
with an estimated consumption of 90-120kg per capita
per annum in the developed world. The per capita
consumption of plastic in Pakistan is 3.1 kg, while this is
5-6 kg in India, 12 kg in China and 33 kg in Gulf countries.
In developed countries the consumption of plastic is high
due to light weight, economical, cost effective, flexible
and easy to clean. The low per capita consumption in
Pakistan reflect that there is great opportunity that the
plastics industry can get greatly benefited from the
substitution of plastic for other materials including various
metals, wood, paper, glass, cardboard and natural fibers,
etc.
Moreover, the availability of cheap labour, rising of
domestic market demand and presence of industrial
zone offers huge potential of investment in upstream
plastic industry. The plastic industry attracted investment
amounted to more than US$ 260 billion till 2012, all of
which half was Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Most
of the plastic industries utilize material and state of
art equipment and technology to increase output and
demand in domestic and foreign market.
Our government has established plastic research center in
Karachi and other cities with the aim to develop technical
know-how and competence in people involved in the
manufacture of plastic products and for better utilization
of manpower, material and machinery in plastic industry.
Moreover, Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association
(PPMA) established to protect, promote, encourage and
development of plastic processing industry and to raise
standardization of product. PPMA regularly organize
international exhibition to promote the plastic products in
international market in order to enhance exports of country.
PPMA has successfully organized eight additions of this
exhibition in Pakistan. PPMA is the voice of Pakistan
Plastics Industry and publishes its annual magazine
in Pakistan on regular basis. It has got a worldwide
recognition. PPMA also publishes Pakplas Directory for
the benefit of Plastics community. The lack of research
and development, product diversification, innovation and
adoption of tradition methods of manufacturing is the
main hindrance in the development of plastic sector. The
high quality standards demands and environment issues
create impediment in exploring the developed nation
markets.
Currently, around 0.8 million tonnes of Naptha, produced
within Pakistan, which is entirely exported in raw form at
a throw away price. There is no naphtha hydro cracker
plant in Pakistan. Despite availability of indigenous
naphtha, required for establishing a naphtha cracker
plant which produces a variety of different raw materials
like plastic, polypropylene and synthetic fiber in Pakistan,
the state run petroleum sector has failed to develop a
hydrocracker plant. Pakistan can enter into a joint venture
for establishing of the naphtha hydro cracker plant with
the assistance of regional countries like China and India.
Plastic products have huge benefits such as the use
of plastic in automobile reduces consumption of oil
and further reduces CO2 emission. This product can
also facilitate us in reduction of fuel consumption
and further help us in saving of foreign exchange
through reduction in import of fuel. Over 1 billion
people in the world lack access to safe water; plastics
can preserve and distribute water economically,
reliably and safely. Plastic also reduces the weight
of products through plastic packaging because the
other packaging increases the weight of product by
four-fold and also increases the cost of production.
The exports of plastic commodities continuously increases
to US$ 544.13 million in 2012 as compared to $ 300
million in 2009, but the volume of exports is negligible
as compare to imports. Pakistan imported plastic values
around US$ 1.5 billion in 2012 as compared to US$ 1.0
billion. Australia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, West Indies,
UAE, Kuwait, Taiwan, Nigeria and Zimbabwe are the
main exports destinations of Pakistan. Moreover, the
strategic location of Pakistan can target the all-important
international buyers in one of the world’s largest trading
regions.
Moreover, plastic recycling scrap has been developed
into an industry in Pakistan and around 400 units are
engaged in the production of recycling scrap of plastic,
which is enough for the country demand. This recycling
of plastic products make inferior quality products, which
cater to a specific segment of the market, has also
proliferated.

scope for growth in this sector.
There is a good scope to increase production and improve
efficiency for cars, motorcycles, washing machine parts, TV
parts and other house hold electronic parts.
Disposable Products
This is a fast growing industry but still a lot needs to be done
as there is a tremendous potential for growth, A lot of food
products, confectionary, sweets, ice cream , juices and other
food products are packed in plastic disposable packaging.
Producers of disposable containers for packaging food should
start marketing to small, road side Restraunt and Dhabas to
improve hygiene and better packaging.
EXPORTS
Raw Material
Exports have increased as PVC, Polystyrene , PET are
regularly exporting from Pakistan to all over the world as they
all known as quality product producer most of the time short
of quantities for export and enjoy good biz.
They are bringing in crucial revenue and foreign exchange for
the country. The local raw material producers also participate
in international exhibition like K-Show, Arab Plast and other
international exhibitions to showcase their products.
Finished Product Export
This is the segment where Pakistan lags behind. At present
majority of exports are destined for Afghanistan and the
Middle East. Our government needs to facilitate and pay
attention to this segment as it has great potential to generate
export revenue as local producer are manufacturing high
quality products that should sell in any international market.
In 2013 BOPP, CPP and Bopet will also starts and should
generate good revenue and foreign exchange.
Skill Development
The plastic industry needs to develop close relationships
with technical institutes, colleges and universities in order to
enhance the skill of their employees.
There is a big gap of skilled labour in the industry. The
government should facilitate to bridge the gap between
educational institutions and the producers in order to improve
the quality of workers and their products.
Exhibitions
Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association is working hard
as a strategic partner with Fakht Pakistan (Farmer Cems
International) to organize an annual exhibition in Pakistan.This
exhibition provides opportunity to local producers whether
raw material, finish products, machinery and allied products
to present their products and technology for domestic as well
as international buyers. Fakt is a professionally organized
event organizer with International affiliation and their events
can be comparable to any international exhibitions.
The exhibitions are organized annually. PPMA collaborates
with Fakht to provide information and accessibility to all
new machineries and technologies to their members across
Pakistan.

ROLE OF PLASTIC IN
ANY ECONOMY
In our daily life we are using plastic directly and
indirectly in many ways. From
household utencils
to sophisticated medical instruments. Initially plastic
was invented and produced on commercial basis after
second world war and developing nations take all
advantage of plastic in their national development and
industrial growth because it is the good replacement
as synthetic compound replacing natural products
such as wood, steel and various product of nature.
During 1950 to 1980 the plastic industry was confined
to three regions Usa, Western Europe and Japan.
At that time the Plastic was produced only through
Naphta Process using Crude oil by-product as main
raw material which they have to import mostly from
GCC countries. In the decade of 1980-90 the huge
investment was made by South Korea and it was a
new Hub of Petrochemical in Far East totally relying
on imports of their basic raw material from GCC and
other oil producing countries.
In the decade of 1990s A revolution in Plastic
production was seen when it was produced from Gas
Process instead of Naphta, the gas is abandoned in
GCC countries and cost of transporting the Gas from
GCC region to USA, Europe or Far East is very high.
It abruptly effect the Geo Political situation of the GCC
region and attracts the huge investments around the
world. During the last 20 years 50% of the world’s
polymer production capacities were installed in GCC
region including Iran.

region, the growth in plastic production was also seen
in the countries which have big consumption like India
and China. Strategically they install huge Refineries for
their indigenous consumption of refined oil and from its
by-product (Naphta) they produce polymers and other
chemicals for domestic and international market. We
have seen a very positive growth in their economic
figures during last few years.
In Pakistan we have a handsome consumption of
Refined Oil but we have to import it due to limited
local production, on the other hand Naphta is not being
utilized for further processing and being exported to
other countries like Japan and India and then again
imported in the form of plastic raw material and
chemicals from these countries.
Therefore it was need of the day that Private:Public
coordination is to be considered for these type of
projects in very near future with the help of international
donors as we have to strengthen our Economy through
industrial growth to avoid the forthcoming threats of
collapsing country’s economy from regional trade.

BioPlastics the
Materials of Tomorrow
The rising costs and shrinking reserves of fossil fuels
combined with concerns for environmental pollution
have led scientists to look for alternative materials that
are made from non-petroleum based chemicals and
are also environment friendly. The development of
materials popularly known as BioPlastics started as a
result of these drivers as they are considered by many
to be environment friendly alternatives to petroleumbased Plastics.
Commonly the term bioPlastics is used to describe two
different aspects of the product. One type of bioPlastics
are those that are biodegradable or compostable, i.e.
once they are disposed off they have the capability
of breaking down or decomposing into simpler
compounds by the action of some microorganism,
most commonly bacteria. The degraded compounds
can then be used by living organisms as a source of
energy, like it happens for the life cycle of most organic
matter. However, a Plastics may also be categorized
as a bioPlastics if it is being manufactured from
renewable or plant based sources and it may not be
biodegradable e.g. polyethylene derived from sugar
cane.
These non-biodegradable Plastics are also
gaining popularity due to their non-dependence on
fossil fuels and of course the green appeal associated
with them. Life cycle of a typical bioPlastics.
Biodegradable BioPlastics:
The most common markets for bioPlastics are
packaging.
Current applications include shopping
bags, waste collection bags, food/drink packaging etc.
Other applications are under investigation, especially
by the automotive and electronics sector. Currently
a number of different compostable Plastics resins are
available in the market and the number is growing

Aerospace Engineering (IAA), Air University, Islamabad. She is also a
consultant for Al-Hafiz Green Chip Ltd. Pakistan.
every day. The most commonly used raw material for
making the compostable Plastics is corn starch, which
is converted into a polymer with similar properties
as normal Plastics products.
Other compostable
resins are made from potato starch, soybean protein,
cellulose and some are even made from petroleum
and petroleum by products.
Currently there are three methods by which
biodegradable bioPlastics can be produced. These
three methods are: i) By converting plant sugars into
Plastics; ii) By producing Plastics inside microorganisms
e.g. bacteria and iii) By growing Plastics in plants like
corn and other crops. Also just like their petroleum
based counterparts bioPlastics can be extruded, blown,
molded, injection-molded, foamed, thermoformed, and
coated onto other materials. Some common examples
of bioPlastics include PHA’s (Poly hydroxyalkanoates)
and PLA (Poly Lactic acid).
Recent Developments
According to industry and independent analysts
Plastics derived from plant materials currently make
up 0.2% of the roughly 350 million metric tons of
Plastics consumed each year in the world. However
Read on..........
[ 47 ]
®
BioPlastics the Materials of Tomorrow
this volume could jump 30% a year over the next
decade or so due to growing demand for eco-friendly
packaging and other products that will use biomass as
a feedstock. However until recently, although a lot
of different types of bioPlastics were being marketed,
they still lacked the attributes that would make them
attractive to Plastics manufacturers.
For example
attributes like “affordability”, “recyclability”, “durability”,
“reliability” or “good processibility” were not associated
with bioPlastics. In spite of being environment friendly,
bioPlastics were perceived to be materials that were
expensive to produce and process, with properties that
were inferior to traditional petroleum based Plastics.
However this prevalent impression about bioPlastics
is changing quickly. Thanks to continued research in
the area, bioPlastics continue to evolve, and are finally
starting to make their mark on the Plastics market and
industry.
Drop-in BioPlastics
One of the most important developments from the past
few years has been the emergence of what are known
as drop-ins. Drop-in bio-Plastics are bio-based or
partly bio-based non-biodegradable materials such as
(partly) bio-based Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene
(PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These
materials that are produced from monomer building
blocks derived from biomass feed-stocks, can directly
replace conventional petroleum-based Plastics.
The carbon content of Plastics produced on the
basis of these bio-monomers comes from renewable
sources, such as plants or bio-waste. Drop-ins
have the advantage that these materials feature the
same properties and functionalities as their fossil or
petroleum based counterparts. The value-added chain
only requires some adaptation at the outset, besides
that processing, use, recycling and recovery follow the
same routes as conventional PE, PET or PP products
do. The major benefit of drop-ins is their renewable
basis. This provides a huge potential to switch from
finite (petroleum based) to renewable (plant based)
resources, and to reduce a product’s carbon footprint.
A major advantage of drop-ins is that they offer
a rapid route to market through the existing
infrastructure without major modifications.
Also, newer routes are increasingly opening
up, making the production of bio-monomers
economical, which has the advantage of
fitting easily into existing production chains.
Potentially all grades of polyethylene,
polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride can
currently be made via bio-based routes, as
can various polyamides and polyesters.
In fact, a market study from the University of Applied
Sciences and Arts of Hanover has showed that biobased commodity Plastics, with a total of around
1 million tonnes, would make up the majority of
production capacity by 2015. A direct consequence
of the development of bio-based drop-ins is that
non-biodegradable biopolymers will show the largest
growth in the coming years. Which means that instead
of biodegradable or compostable bioPlastics more and
more bioPlastics will and are now being developed
that instead will be non biodegradable. As a result
more research will be needed into the possibilities for
chemical and mechanical recycling of these materials,
an aspect which is being actively investigated.
One classic example of drop-in is bio-PET, efforts
to develop 100% bio-PET accelerated this year with
Coca-Cola’s push to produce a 100% bio-bottle.
100% bio-based PET was successfully produced on
lab scale this year; more breakthroughs in this area
are expected in the near future. In fact, according to a
Read on..........
[ 49 ]
®
European BioPlastics forecast, the next few years are
likely to see the largest growth in the production of biobased polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate.
The production capacity for bio-based PET will
continue to grow through 2016, reaching just over
4.5 million tonnes, or four-fifths of total bioPlastics
production capacity.
Bio-based Additives & Modifiers
Another area that is showing strong growth is that of
bio-based additives and modifiers. This is not only
important for engineering durable biopolymers with
enhanced performance, but also for developing less
hazardous alternatives to conventional modifiers. For
example recent concerns about the safety of phthalates
which are used as Plasticsizers in PVC and Bisphenol-A
which is a monomer used in polycarbonate, have and
will continue to drive the search for more health and
environmentally friendly solutions.
Increasingly, bio-based additives are also being
used to modify properties of conventional
polymers, as they not only enhance the
performance of these materials but also lead to
improvement of their carbon footprint.
For example a US based company Metabolix,
has developed a series of PHA-based polymeric
modifiers that demonstrate very good miscibility with
PVC in addition to improving its mechanical and
environmental performance characteristics. Similarly
Mitsubishi Chemical produces a polycarbonate in
which the Bisphenol-A is has been replaced by
isosorbide, a biomonomer that can be safely used in
food applications.
Isosorbide-based co polyesters
are extremely promising materials that offer enhanced
performance properties. Also PLA (Poly Lacticacid),
blended with PMMA (Poly methyl methacrylate),
enhances the processability and other properties far
beyond those of traditional acrylic resins.
Challenges & Future Industry Trends
Bio-monomers or feedstock’s (raw materials) used
today to produce bioPlastics are mainly derived from
starch or sugar obtained from corn, potato, sugarcane
and beetroot; in other words, from food crops. The use
of arable land and edible crops to produce Plastics
is increasingly being perceived as an undesirable
development that could increase food prices and
contribute to food shortages. However, the coming
years will see a shift from these so-called first generation
feedstocks to second-generation feedstocks such as
cellulosics. Cellulosic feedstocks, which consist of crop
residues, wood residues, yard waste, municipal solid
waste, algae or other biomass, will address the issues
related to food shortages and competition for arable
land. Cellulosics can be converted to sugars via various
technologies, including enzymatic hydrolysis and
biomass pretreatment. Already, cellulosic feedstocks
are being used to produce, among other materials,
cellulose acetates and lignin-based polymers. Once
these methods are in place, a stream of non-food crop
based fermentable sugars will become available for
energy, chemicals and polymers.
These developments in the bioPlastics sector are
expected to open up unimagined possibilities for
biopolymers in the future.
A study carried out on the bioPlastics industry, by the
market research institute Ceresana in 2011 predicted
that global bioPlastics revenues will exceed $2.8
billion by 2018; an average annual growth rate of 17.
8%. Strong growth will be seen particularly in the
Asia-Pacific region and in South America. Demand
in the individual types of bioPlastics will also show
significant regional differences. While PLA (Poly Lactic
acid) demand in North America is projected to rise
by 12% per year, it will soar by almost 17% per year
in the countries of the Asia-Pacific. In 2010, demand
was highest for starch-based Plastics, followed by

polylactic acid (PLA). Other bio-based Plastics (PHA/
PHB, cellulose, PBS), as well as fossil fuel-based
biodegradable Plastics accounted for just less than
17% of global demand.
Currently biodegradable Plastics dominate the
bioPlastics market, roughly accounting for 92%
of all bioPlastics being produced.
However nonbiodegradable Plastics based on renewable resources,
are forecast to increase their market share from 8% in
2010 to more than 47% by 2018. A striking finding of
a report released in October of this year by European
BioPlastics was that increasingly, new bio-Plastics
production facilities are being built in Asia and South
America. In fact, by 2016, Asia is predicted to be
home to 46.3% of the global bioPlastics production
capacity. South America is projected to have nearly
as much capacity in place, with just over 45%. A main
driver in these regions is easy availability of feedstock.
Specifically, Thailand has expressed the ambition to
become bioPlastics production hub of Southern Asia,
and is taking concrete steps in the form of investments
and joint ventures to realize this, while in Brazil,
Braskem, a company that is already the world’s leading
producer of bio-PE (Figure 2), has targeted 2013 as
the year to bring its bio PP facility on stream.
It appears that globally there is a shift from the
production of conventional Plastics to bio-based
Plastics and it appears that a lot of growth is expected in
the Asian region. Despite global economic challenges,
bioPlastics are a profitable business to be in right
now. This fact was highlighted during a summary
of the findings of a poll conducted by the European
BioPlastics association of its members in 2009. The
bulk of companies questioned reported healthy growth
figures for 2009, in some cases considerably more than
5% over the previous year. The figures fulfilled and
sometimes exceeded expectations, the association
says.
It is about time that Plastics manufacturers in Pakistan should also seize the opportunity
and start thinking about investing into these materials of tomorrow.

He told that there is lot of problems for the “Plastics
Industry”. Short fall of Electricity is common problem
like others industries are facing. High rate of duties
on Plant and Machinery as well as Raw Material are
the terrible factors in cost. In addition the impose
of “Sales Tax and Additional Sales” on plant and
machinery is equal to murder of “Plastic Industry” that
really discourage the installation of new industry as
well as the expansion of the existing set ups.

Plastics Blood
Plastics Blood may sound impossible, but researchers
at the University of Sheffield have created a ‘Plastics
blood’, which is able to mimic hemoglobin and carry
oxygen around the body. Not only could this be a
revolutionary step-forward for the medical world, but
due to its very nature, the Plastics blood is able to be
carried and stored a lot easier than “natural blood”.
The medical device market is one of today’s most
dynamic business sectors. Not using Plastics in this
area is now unimaginable, especially with regard to the
issue of sterility. Easy processing, break resistance,
low weight and the possibility of modification for very
particular specifications offers definite advantages
over conventional materials such as metal, glass
and ceramics. Probably the biggest contribution of
Plastics is the containment of infection risks, with
the big revolution being the development of single
use products, such as the humble PVC Blood Bag.
Modified atmosphere packs and PVC blood bags to
microelectronic components, we have used innovation
as our foundation for the future. We have developed
dose-dispensing packs for pharmaceuticals and
medicines, created safety closures including tamperproof and tamper-evident packs. The Plastics industry
plays a vital role in the development of innovative
and safe products for the medical industry, through
products such as: Artifical Skin, Blister Packs and
Dosage Packs for the pharmaceutical industry and
Heart and Lung bypass sets, to name but a few.
Cross-linked bioplastics attack
human wrinkles
Two water-absorbing natural plastics are used by
chemicals giant BASF to produce “the ultimate nextgeneration wrinkle corrector”.Wrinkle correction is a
crowded field. Google “wrinkle corrector” and you get
168,000 results.The new Filling Spheres cosmetic
product is composed of hyaluronic acid of low molecular
weight (<40 kDa) and konjac, a polysaccharide of
high molecular weight (> 200 kDa). BASF says that
cross-linking of both components forms small spheres
which, after drying, become Ultra Filling Spheres.
Due to their high hygroscopic properties, the volume
of the spheres increases as they absorb water from
the skin. Plumping the skin from inside out may result
in smoothing out the wrinkles and fine lines at the
surface of the skin, according to BASF. The product
has been developed by BASF´s cosmetic active
ingredient business called Beauty Creations, which
was created by the merger of Beauty Care Solutions
and Laboratoires Sérobiologiques, which became
part of BASF last year. Wrinkles occur as skin gets
thinner, drier and less elastic. Among changes that
take place during the aging process, the human body
produces less structural skin compounds such as
elastin, collagen, and glycosaminoglycans, especially
hyaluronic acid. As a result, the skin surface becomes
thinner, losing some of its, flexibility and strength. The
result is wrinkles, not the most critical medical issue,
but one of significant interest to many people.

3D Printing - A New Frontier
For Plastic Industry
It seems like science fiction come to life: a machine
that rapidly manufactures almost anything you ask of
it, from a pin to an aircraft part. 3-D printing, which
is also known as additive manufacturing, because
it creates an object by adding material in the form
of powder or liquid, layer by layer, as opposed to
traditional subtractive manufacturing. No matter what
the shape and complexity of the part is, it just need the
3d format file to have the physical 3D printed part in
your hand.
The charismatic techniques of 3D printing helped
many industrial sectors to boost up worldwide like
Aerospace, Automobile, Medicine, Defense, Fashion
etc. In Pakistan Jewelry sector has experienced the
magic’s of additive manufacturing technology in the
form of wax patterns of different ornaments which they
used directly for casting.

Focusing the plastic industry of Pakistan, I suggest
following applications of 3Dprinting.
Applications in Plastic Industry:
• To print the part directly from 3D software to verify the aesthetics of design
• To check the fits and forms of the part before
starting serial production
• To address the limited number of production by
producing the functional parts directly from 3D
printer without investing heavily on tooling.
• To print the “insert of plastic injection mould”,
especially when:
• the machining is too complex
• 3D conformal cooling channels are required to
increase the part production rate
3D cooling channels for “Plastic
Injection mould” Through 3D Printing Technology
• there is a high rate of material removal is requiredsince there is no wastage of material in 3D printing

than rest in terms of surface finish and accuracy.
As far as the manufacturing of inserts of plastic injection moulds through 3d printing is concerned, professionals
are relying on SLS technology by EOS, Germany. 3D systems also offers SLS technology with the material
equivalent to P-20 which is normally used for the inserts in our local market.
Following is the chart summarizing different technologies: Though in 2010, sales for all the 3D printing products
and services worldwide grew 24% to $1.33 billion, but still there is a lot need to do in this field. Experts throughout
the world are using this technology synergetically. In Pakistan, it is needed to bridge the gap between the plastic
part manufacturers and the service providers of 3D printing through proper awareness program. This will open
the new frontier for the plastic parts manufacturers and keep the local investments pledged for this technology
away from dearth.

Applications of Plastics in
Electrical and Electronic
Industry
Plastics are “one of the greatest innovations of the
millennium” and have certainly proved their reputation
to be true; it has been the most used material since
1970. There are many ways that plastic is and will be
used in the years to come. Plastic has gained much
popularity due to the fact that it is durable, reusable,
does not rust or rot, helps lower transportation
costs and conserves natural resources. Plastics are
everywhere and have innumerable uses.
Over the last 50 to 60 years, the uses for plastic
have expanded to infiltrate virtually every aspect of
life. Because of versatility and affordability plastics
has taken the place of other material including wood
and metals. Along with other industries, plastics are
revolutionizing electrical industry as well. Plastics
are playing an important role in growth of electrical
industry by making electrical goods safer, lighter, more
attractive, quieter, more environmental friendly and
more durable.
The properties of the various types of plastics make
it beneficial for manufacturers to use. Consumers like
it because it is easy to use, lightweight and easy to
maintain. There are about 45 unique types of plastics
and each type has dozens of different variations.
Manufacturers can change the physical structure just
slightly to benefit the application for which they are
using it.
Plastics deliver an incredible range of performance
benefits; enable many of our favorite electronics to
do more with less. For instance, plastics are essential
to advances in weight reduction and miniaturization
in many electronic products, so less material is used
in production and can be engineered to meet very

specific performance requirements, often helping to
achieve greater energy efficiency over the course of a
product’s life.
Application of plastics in the electrical field is extremely
broad and its role has two main aspects, as electrical
insulation materials in wire & cable industry and in the
mechanical structure of materials. Structural materials
for electrical machinery are used as part of the support
and protection to withstand mechanical stress, giving
dimensional stability and resistance to bending, heat
resistance and easy molding.
In today’s modern world the stylish appearance of
modern VCRs, CD players, DVD systems, Personal
Computers and TV sets owes much to the design
freedom granted by plastics. It is plastics that make
hygienic and attractive knobs, handles and door
facings on cookers, liners, handles and internal fittings
on refrigerators and freezers, housings and tops on
washing machines and dishwashers. Filled, impactand fire-resistant plastics make tough and durable
housings and handles for tools such as drills, paintstrippers, lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners and hedgetrimmers. Safety is a key requirement for electrical

goods such as food processors, toasters, kettles
and hairdryers which is also facilitated by plastics.
Essential to the modern office are smart and hard
wearing plastic keypads and housings for telephones,
machines photocopiers and computers. From simple
cables and household appliances to smart-phones
and Blu-ray players, many of the latest devices created
in the Electrical & Electronic sector capitalize on new
generation plastics.
What Makes plastics valuable?
resistant through the use of special flame retardant
additives.
3. Whatever the designer dreams up, plastics can
deliver. They can be any colour — transparent,
translucent or opaque; any texture —matte to
eliminate glare in the office, smooth for easily
cleaned kitchen equipment or non-slip for handles.
Plastics are ideally suited to the ergodynamic
curves which make modern tools easy and safe to
use.
4. Plastics consume just 4% of oil production. They
take less energy and therefore fossil fuel to make
than most traditional materials. This makes them
cheaper to make and buy, as well as benefiting the
environment by conserving resources.
In addition to being valuable due to above
qualities there are few unique features that make
plastics more practical than any other substance.
Designers of electrical and electronic applications
rely on plastics because of their unique features.
These unique features are mentioned below along
with their applications.
1. Electricity is essential to our standard of living,
a valuable and versatile servant but it is also
potentially lethal. Plastics do not conduct
electricity and are therefore used in a variety of
applications where their insulating properties are
needed. PVC is widely used to insulate electric
wiring, while thermosets (which can withstand
high temperatures) are used for switches, light
fittings and handles. Plastics are especially
suited to housings for goods such as hairdryers,
electric razors and food mixers as they protect the
consumer from the risk of electric shock.
2. Plastics are poor conductors of heat. To reduce the
risk of burns, manufacturers have therefore made
extensive use of plastics i.e. introducing cool-touch
toasters, deep-fat fryers and kettles. To further
protect the consumer, plastics can be made fire

on tablets and smartphones are created with
films of polycarbonate. In small appliances like
smartphones and MP3 players, the use of plastics
has increased along with the number of different
polymer types. Smaller and lighter handsets are
now possible, thanks to plastics.
• The
insensitivity of plastics to electromagnetic
radiation, combined with their resistance to
mechanical shocks, stress resistance, flexibility and
durability, makes them ideal for vital applications
such as safe, reliable and efficient power supplies.
• While
most plastics in electrical and electronic
equipment are visible, the latter also contain many

sheathing for cables and in electronic components.
• Thanks
to ambitious research programmes,
plastics in the electrical and electronic sector are
constantly evolving. Lithium batteries, for instance,
can now be made from recycled plastic bags. Plastic
batteries made from conductive polymers have the
significant advantage of offering high power with
low weight. But plastic-related innovation also
comes from their optical properties. With polymers
used in optical switching, the flow of data can be
facilitated over long distances between one chip
and another. A newly discovered technique makes
it possible to create a whole new array of plastics
with metallic or even superconducting properties.
Recently this research has been done by physicists
of University of Queensland.
• Engineering
thermoplastics and other high
performance polymers continue to progressively
play a critical role in the production of electric &
electronic (E/E) components and microelectronic
devices. New polymer grades, additives and fillers
have been developed to meet thin wall and high
temperature requirements for moulded parts.
Plastics material and processing development
is contributing to lower costs and performance
enhancement of consumer and industrial
electronics manufacturing technologies. A high
dielectric constant liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and
polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) resin compound series
has been developed to enable plastics processors
to replace ceramics in high-performance electronic
components used in high frequency (microwave
and millimeter wave) applications and are currently
being used in moulded interconnect devices.
Continuing drive for higher circuit density and very
high-speed data processing has resulted in an
intensified search for new polymeric materials to
use in microelectronics.
•
The development of the plastic materials is opening
a lot of possibilities in the electrical sector &
electronic. Plastic electronics, based on inherently
conductive polymers (ICPs) and flexible substrates,
will herald a new era in the electronics industry.
Future products include roll-up displays to be used
with computers and mobile phones, flexible solar
panels that can be laminated to walls and ceilings
or used to power portable equipment and ultralow-cost radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.
New materials, such as carbon nanotubes and
organic molecules, will enable a new generation of
plastic electronic displays for cellular phones and
other portable devices with their conducting and
semiconducting properties.
• Advances
in nanotechnology and inherently
conductive polymers (ICPs) are making possible
the development of new photovoltaic (PV) cells
that promise to make solar energy inexpensive,
unobtrusive and readily available. The German
Research Foundation (DFG) has successfully
sponsored research work at the University of
Erlangen to develop polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
high temperature resistant films as a new base
material for flexible printed circuit (FPC) boards.
The substitution of rigid printed circuit boards with
new flexible circuit carriers is an important aspect
in the development of lightweight miniaturized
electronic solutions.
• These new materials can be easily produced with
equipment commonly used in the microelectronics
industry and are vastly more tolerant of exposure
to oxygen compared to standard semiconducting
polymers. Combined, these advantages may give
ion beam processed polymer films a bright future
in the on-going development of soft materials for
plastic electronics applications – a fusion between
current and next generation technology, the
researchers say.
With the increase in innovative processing
technology, new features are kept on introducing in
plastics for expanding its applications in electrical
industry. Plastics have revolutionized our lives by
making them easier. There is no doubt in accepting
the fact that life would not be the same after
eliminating plastics from our lives.

GPCA: Ethylene continues
expansion in 2012
[Source: ICIS Chemical Business]
Ethylene is a key building block in the petrochemical
industry. In recent years, the world has witnessed its
largest ethylene capacity expansion, with capacity
growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of
4% between 2007 and 2012, to reach 155.9m tonnes
in 2012.
Most of the new capacity during this period has come
onstream in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
countries and Asia, particularly China, which have
seen average annual growth rates of nearly 15% and
14%, respectively.
By: Irfan Sabir
Polymer Engineer and Manager Technical Services in arfeen international
(Pvt.) Ltd.
website:arfeen.com.pk
In 2012 alone, GCC countries added 2.1m tonnes/year of ethylene capacity, which accounts for 47% of the global
ethylene capacity additions in the same year. While worldwide 2012 capacity additions are much lower than
the record additions recorded in 2010 when 11.4m tonnes/year of ethylene capacity was added, GCC capacity
addition in 2012 was at a similar level as in 2010, trending downwards by only 13%.

GPCA: Ethylene continues expansion in 2012
Looking at the Arabian Gulf region, the majority of capacity additions
between 2007 and 2012 took place in Saudi Arabia, which accounted
for 64% of the regional capacity additions. With 17.5m tonnes/year,
Saudi Arabia is the largest ethylene producer in the region, accounting
for 72% of the regional ethylene capacity. This is up by 7.7m tonnes/
year compared with five years ago. This massive expansion in ethylene
production capacity has resulted in Saudi Arabia becoming the third
largest producer worldwide, accounting for 11% of global ethylene
capacity.
In Qatar, ethylene is produced by three major companies with a combined
capacity of 3.2m tonnes/year, representing 21% of GCC total. QAPCO,
Q-Chem and Ras Laffan Olefins Co are the main ethylene producers
in Qatar. Since 2007, Qatar ethylene capacity has grow at a CAGR of
21%, which is one of the fastest growth rates in the region. Considering
worldwide ethylene producers, Qatar has reached 13th position in terms
of its 2012 annual ethylene capacity.
In Kuwait, players like EQUATE and PIC jointly produce 1.6m tonnes/year of ethylene, accounting for 7% of the
regional capacity. Natural gas feedstock availability remains one of the key challenges for growth of petrochemicals
sector in Kuwait. The country plans to increase production of gas through reduction of gas flaring and new drilling.
In this regard, Kuwait Oil Co (KOC) is developed its gas exploration program with a key objective of increasing
gas production in future years. On a global level, Kuwait is ranked 21st among 59 ethylene producers in terms of
ethylene capacity.
The petrochemicals industry of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is situated in Abu Dhabi, which aims to create
a globally competitive, integrated industry. Since 2007, ethylene capacity expansion in Abu Dhabi has been the
highest in the region, with a CAGR of 28%, taking the total capacity to 2.1m tonnes/year in 2012. This is 9% of the
region’s total ethylene capacity. The petrochemicals sector has been named as one of the key engines of growth
for the economy under Abu Dhabi’s 2030 master plan.
Currently Borouge is the sole ethylene producer in the UAE, while future plans entail development of ChemaWEyaat,
which will crack naphtha to produce ethylene and more specialist materials within the aromatics, C3 (propane)
and C4 (butane) value chains.

PLASTIC DREAM
COME TRUE!
Muhammad Ansar Khan
Assistant Professor-Chemical Engineering Department, NED University of
Engineering and Technology
Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, is one of the quietest, the
lightest and the most fuel efficient commercial service
airliners in the sky. What makes the Dreamliner so
special is that much of it is made from plastics.
Carbon-fiber reinforced composite plastics, to be
exact. These thin, carbon, thread-like fibers, are
combined with plastic resins, resulting in a material
that’s unusually strong – unusual because it’s also
incredibly lightweight and can be molded into many
different shapes. Together, the 787’s dramatic weight
reduction and optimally aerodynamic shape add up to
huge gains in fuel efficiency.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, midsize wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner developed by
Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Its variants seat 210 to
290 passengers. It’s first flight was on Dec.15, 2009.
In the Dreamliner, the composite materials contribute to
an expected 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption
and a corresponding reduction in emissions, compared
to a similar size aluminum-frame and body airplane.
These composite materials are advanced plastic
systems.
The lighter, more aerodynamic and more fuel-efficient
plane can endure longer flights without refueling,
allowing the plane to fly from 3,100 to 8,800 miles.
That could allow for considerably more non-stop flights
– adding to passenger convenience, comfort and
satisfaction, while reducing landings and take-offs,
and saving on fuel and emissions.
And the Dreamliner should be more comfortable for
passengers. The strength of the composite material
allows for more passenger and overhead space along
with higher pressure and humidity inside the cabin – all
of which can help reduce travel fatigue.
While the Dreamliner is the first aircraft to be built
from plastics carbon fiber reinforced composites, the
material is not new. It is currently used in a number
of other applications, including automobiles, sports
equipment, prosthetics, high-end audio equipment,
musical instruments, helicopters and wind turbine
blades.

humidity will dramatically increase
the comfort and prevent jet leg.
Additionally, the 787 Dreamliner will
be the most amazing advancements
and increase the acceptance of
composite materials. People all
across the world will see and
feel the benefits first hand like
never before. Once the world’s
population experiences the benefits
of composites the demand will
continue to grow and cross into
other industries.
Each 787 contains approximately 35 short
tons (32,000 kg) of carbon fiber reinforced
plastic (CFRP), made with 23 tons of
carbon fiber. Carbon fiber composites
have a higher strength-to-weight ratio
than traditional aircraft materials, and help
make the 787 a lighter aircraft.

save fuel on the Dreamliner, but there
will be benefits to the passengers as
well. In particular, the 787 will be much

How to Construct Houses
with Plastic Bottles !!
Compiled By: S.M. Anwar
Waste bottles for construction? Yes, it is difficult to think of a bottle as a brick. But a mud-filled bottle is as strong
as a brick and whatever you can do with a brick, you can do with a bottle too..Plus it has got lots of advantages
too...
This project was done as part of our college activity.The man behind this innovative idea is a german named
Andreas Froese,who is also the founder of ‘ECO-TEC’ .
Building with Bottles :
This is an effective solution for reusing the plastic. Bottles have the following advantages over bricks and other
construction materials.
1. Low cost - You know how much a bottle costs!
2. Non-Brittle - (Unlike bricks)
3. Absorbs abrupt shock loads - Since they are not brittle,there can take up heavy loads without failure.
4. Bio climatic
5. Re-usable
6. Less construction material
7. Easy to build
8. Green Construction
Step 1: Bottles,bottles everywhere!
When you make a clay brick, the time and energy used
right from mixing the clay to baking it in the kiln and
taking into account the firewood used for that, you will
see that the bottle brick is far more energy-efficient.
The technology also reduces the carbon emission
that happens during the baking of an ordinary brick .
The heat generation from cement factories can also
be reduced as this technology uses only five percent
cement. The foundation for the entire construction is obtained from building waste and so the mountains from
which granite is blasted out can be saved too..
PET Bottle can last as long as 300 years (undoubtedly longer than the cement used to bind the bottles together
in the walls!).

How to Construct Houseswith Plastic Bottles !!
The following picture is of an ecological house constructed in Honduras using some 8,000 PET bottles, in the
process freeing up an estimated 12 cubic meters (m3) in the local landfill.
The house also features a living roof (sometimes called a green roof) of sod and turf. Such roofs not only have
aesthetic appeal, but tend to insulate the house better than conventional roofs, lowering heating and cooling
costs. They are also cheaper than conventional roofs.
When wet, the 102 square meter (m2), living roof of the casa ecol?can weigh as much as 30 metric tons (Mt,
toneladas). The PET bottle walls can support the weight.
Step 2:
This instructable tells you how to build a pavilion with these bottles.
1. Your first step is to collect as many discarded plastic bottles as you can..They can be of various capacities.
2. Next step is to find a place where you can get a hell load of dry sand (finer,the better).
3. Next process is to take the bottles, fill them with sand, sealed and then paste them with a mixture made
of earth, clay, sawdust and a little cement to provide additional strength and durability.The following video
shows how to fill the bottle.
4. Now you are all set.Always start with the pillar.You can have as many pillars as you want,but not less than 3.
5. Dig a cylindrical pit about 60cm in depth.The radius should be atleast 10cm more than the length of the bottle
that you are going to use for constructing the pillar.
6. Make a cement bed(about 4cm thickness)in the pit.Insert an long iron/steel rod at the centre.Tie a long and
strong thread to the rod. Now we are going to lay 10 or 11 bottles around this rod.For this,First lay a bottle on
the bed such that the bottle is radially oriented towards the centre.(i.e.,the cap is oriented towards the rod).
7. Take the thread and make a knot around the neck of the bottle you just laid.Put the next bottle in similar
way keeping in mind that the caps of the 2 bottles touch each other.Make a knot around the 2nd bottle also.
Repeat the steps until you lay all the 11 bottles.You have made your first course of bottles.
8. Fill in the gaps between the bottles with rubble and cement.Make the next bed and continue this process
till you fill the entire pit.Hurray!your foundation is complete.Leave it for a few hours so that the cement will
solidify.
9. After you have made the foundation for all your pillars,you can start building the pillar.Lay the bottles like

you did for the foundation,and you will see your pillars rising.You can put broken bricks or other construction
wastes between the bottles so that they don’t move.
10. Now if you want you can plaster your pillar with cement.This pillar is many times stronger much cheaper than
an ordinary pillar made with bricks.
Step 3:
After building all the pillars,You are ready to make the platform.
1. Make an outline of your platform with chalk powder or any color powders.
2. Make a Clay bed about 5cm height and width=5 cm > length of the bottles.This bed runs along the perimetre
of the platform.
3. Now lay the bottles (with their neck facing outwards )one by one on this bed and tie them to each other as
shown in the picture.After laying a course , fill the inside area with cement,clay or rubble.If you want to make
more courses,make sure that you knot each bottle of the underlying course with the above course as shown
in the picture.This is to impart more strength to the structure.
4. This is your platform.Now put tiles or ceramics for flooring.
5. You can put any type of roof over this because the pillars are really strong enough to hold them.
6. Create your own designs ,and build your own structures with this cheap construction method !

Recycling of Plastics:
Recycling refers to the reprocessing and refabrication
of a material that has been used and discarded by a
consumer and that otherwise would be destined for
disposal as solid waste.
Different Plastics, particularly different polymer groups,
can have significantly different physical and chemical
properties which may include mechanical strength,
flexibility, chemical resistance, etc. Hybrids of these
Plastics or those which have been contaminated by the
presence of other materials may have these properties
seriously affected.

to automate the sorting process. This critical part of
the process can be performed both manually and
mechanically. New mechanical sorting processes
using new automated technology
are being
developed and implemented to increase Plastics
recycling capacities and efficiency.
Recycling Plastics Materials
Available today in many shapes and forms, Plastics
have become part of our everyday life. However, their
popularity and almost endless applications present a
series of challenges for the recycling industry.
We now use more Plastics than we did 50 years
ago and certain post-consumer products contain as
many as 20 different types of Plastics materials. This
widespread use of all kinds of Plastics makes it difficult
to collect large enough quantities of certain types to
make recycling viable. At the same time, each variety
has a particular molecular composition and as a result,
a different recycling process must be employed.
Identification and separation technologies are crucial
for efficient and effective Plastics recycling.
(see plastics identification Chart)
•
Shredding and compacting:
Sorted Plastics are shredded into smaller pieces
and bailed to facilitate extrusion, handling and
transportation.
•
Washing:
Scrap Plastics goes through various mechanical
processes to remove filth and dirt. It is then washed
and ground into smaller flakes. Flotation tanks are
also used to separate Plastics from contaminants.
•
Melting:
Plastics are melted down, extruded and cut into
granulates or pellets.
Recycling Processes
Recycling Plastics requires a series of chemical and
mechanical procedures:
• Sorting:
The biggest problem with Plastics recycling is that
it is labour intensive and this is because it is difficult
•
Reforming:
The granulates are transported to manufacturing
plants where they are made into new products.

Recycling a single Plastics bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60-watt bulb for up to six hours.
•
Recycling 5 PET Plastics bottles produces enough fibre for one t-shirt.
•
Recycling 100 million cell phones saves enough energy to power more than 194,000 households for one year.
•
Worldwide trade of recyclable Plastics represents is valued at $5 billion per year and is estimated to represent
a total of 12 million tonnes.
•
A recent study shows that if all landfilled Plastics waste are recycled or recovered into energy, then 7% of EU
quota of CARBON GAS REDUCTION will be fulfilled
Applications
Unlike metals, recycling usually affects the physical
properties of Plastics to some extent. This makes it
difficult to recover large amounts of certain types of
Plastics for use in the same applications that they were
originally produced for. Thanks to intensive research
and technological developments made by recycling
companies, recycled Plastics can be used in almost as
many applications and products as those using virgin
materials.
These are just a few products that can be made from
recycled Plastics:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Polyethylene bin liners and carrier bags.
Plastics bottles. Flooring and window frames.
Building insulation board.
DVD and CD cases.
Garden furniture and fencing.
Garden sheds and composters.
Seed trays.
Fleeces.
Fibre filling for sleeping bags and duvets.
Office accessories etc etc.
Many types of Plastics we see every day, from bottles to food containers,
can be recycled, but most often not back into food-grade containers.
So what can be done with them?
Well, plenty! Read on..........

Best Recycled
Plastics Product
Building on the success of previous years, EPRO invited the Plastics industry from across Europe to nominate examples of products
made from recycled Plastics for the Best Recycled Plastics Product Competition 2012.
The key objective of the competition, which is now in its 4 year, is to raise awareness of the value and versatility of used Plastics
packaging. Whether it be post-consumer or post-industrial Plastics, the opportunity to recycle this valuable resource into new products
and applications must be recognised, encouraged and promoted.
The competition attracts a wide range of entries representing both consumer facing products and business to business applications.
Since the competition was first launched in 2009 we have seen more than 90 entries from 15 countries. This year the entries were
judged by a broad European panel of experts, including representatives from EPRO, Plastics Europe and ACR+. The winners were
announced and the awards presented on the 6th of November at IdentiPlast 2012, in Warsaw.
The two winners are
Category BtoB: Filatura di Saluzzo with NEWLIFE
(recycled polyester filament yarn) - Italy
Category BtoC : CURVER with ECOLIFE Neo
(Baskets made of recycled PP) – Europe
Plastics packaging design, improved collection schemes, advances in sorting technology together with a greater range of reprocessing
opportunities and applications means that the need to send Plastics to landfill is decreasing rapidly.
“EPRO (Europeon Recycling Organisation) believe that one of the most important ways of achieving this is to raise the awareness of
the products made from recycled Plastics packaging, in turn showcasing a wide range of uses for this valuable material. This creates a
demand and hopefully an appetite for new companies to start to design and manufacture more products made from recycled Plastics promoting the cycle of Plastics. Based on the continued success of the initiative, EPRO will be running the best recycled Plastics product
competition again next year with the winners announced at Identiplast Paris in October 2013.
The discussion concluded that Plastics Recycling is valuable resource
into new products and appliaction must be recognised, encouraged and
promoted in Pakistan similar to other countries. Read on..........

PLASTIC RECYCLING TO
PRODUCE PETROL AND DIESEL
Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or
waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful
products, sometimes completely different in form from
their original state. For instance, this could mean
melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them
as plastic chairs and tables. Typically a plastic is not
recycled into the same type of plastic, and products
made from recycled plastics are often not recyclable.
Thermal depolymerization

Another process involves the conversion of assorted
polymers into petroleum by a much less precise
thermal depolymerization process. Such a process
would be able to accept almost any polymer or mix
of polymers, including thermoset materials such as
The system can handle a wide variety of plastics that
are currently sent to landfills. A major advantage of
the process is its ability to handle unsorted, unwashed
plastic and its extremely high efficiency.
vulcanized rubber tires and the biopolymers in feathers
and other agricultural waste. Like natural petroleum,
the chemicals produced can be made into fuels as well
as polymers.
An EnvoFuel plant can produce up to 9,300 litres of
high-grade diesel fuel from 10 tonnes of waste plastics,
with system modules ranging from 10 to 20 tonnes per
day.
Plastic produce Fuel
Larger systems can be built from these modules. Out
qualifying conventional plastic recycling techniques,
this means that the EnvoFuel system effortlessly
processes a great variety of plastics: heavily
contaminated plastics such as mulch film., agricultural
EnvoFuel is a process (using the Thermo Fuel system)
in which scrap and waste plastics are converted into
diesel fuel. The system uses liquefaction, pyrolysis
and the catalytic breakdown of plastics.

PLASTIC RECYCLING TO PRODUCE PETROL AND DIESEL
plastics such as silage wrap, trickle tape and other
plastics that are hard to recycle (e.g. laminates of
incompatible polymers, multilayer films or polymer
mixtures).
Current situation of recycling of plastics
treated in a cylindrical chamber and the pyrolytic gases
are condensed in a specially-designed condenser
system. This yields a hydrocarbon distillate comprising
straight and branched chain aliphatics, cyclic aliphatics
and aromatic hydrocarbons. The resulting mixture is
essentially the equivalent to petroleum distillate.
Various methodologies have been tried and tested to
process waste plastics for many years, with recycling
becoming the most common method reflecting (today’s
environmental requirements). Plastics that cannot
be processed are handled by waste management
companies by normal land filling or incineration.
The plastic is pyrolised at 370ºC-420ºC and the pyrolysis
gases are condensed in a series of condensers to give
a low sulphur content distillate. The de-sulphur unit
makes the process complete and turns the fuel into a
“green-diesel”.
In recent years, the building or expanding of gasifies
(most notably the levels of emissions) has become
difficult due to opposition from governments and
community groups with environmental concerns.
Liquefaction of plastic is a superior method of reusing
this resource. The distillate product is an excellent fuel
and makes EnvoFuel one of the best, economically
feasible and environmentally sensitive recycling
systems in the world today.
EnvoFuel diesels can be used in any standard diesel
engine, trucks, buses, trains, boats, heavy equipment
and generators.
Pyrolysis
Pyrolysis is a process of thermal degradation in the
absence of oxygen. Plastic waste is continuously
The essential steps in the pyrolysis of plastics involve:
Purging oxygen from pyrolysis chamber;
1. Evenly heating the plastic to a narrow temperature
range without excessive temperature variations;
2. Pyrolising the plastics;
3. Passing the gases through a catalytic converter;
4.Managing the carbonaceous char by-product
before it acts as a thermal insulator and lowers the
heat transfer to the plastic;
5.Careful condensation and fractionation of the
pyrolysis vapors to produce fuels of excellent
quality and consistency
In fact, most plastics can be processed directly even
if contaminated with dirt, aluminum laminates, printing
inks, oil residues, etc.

PLASTIC RECYCLING TO PRODUCE PETROL AND DIESEL
Fuel Production Process
SPR Japan: World’s Largest Wasteplastics-to-oil Recovery Plant (CHP
Facility)
PR has developed a unique and flexible business
model that allows it to not only recycle the 3P’s but large
loadings of PET and PVC (20% by weight), which are
considered contaminants in other liquefaction facilities.
The SPR technology has a patented de-chlorination
process that removes the hydrochloric gas produced
by the thermal decomposition of PVC and uses water
to convert the gas into hydrochloric acid leaving only
100ppm of chlorine in the oil products. Additionally,
by undertaking several years of research using a
special catalyst mixed with the plastic waste in optimal
quantities, SPR has learned to deal with the benzoic
acid produced by the liquefaction of large loadings of
PET, without affecting the pH of the oil product.
These advances and numerous other technology
refinements has allowed SPR to develop the Cascade
Recycling System, where plastic from the municipal
solid waste stream can be mixed with the rejects and
residues from other mechanical or material recycling
operations, which typically amount to forty or fifty
percent of their throughput. The residue material has
a high PET and PVC content, but in the SPR system
it can be blended with the MSW plastic stream at up
to forty percent by weight without any adverse effect
on the reactor or product quality. Over 100,000 tons
of plastic has since been recycled and SPR has an
excellent safety record and consistently produces high
grade products.

Success story of Pakplas
S.M. Anwar, Convener, Pakplas Committee
Pakplas annual magazine published under the administration of Pakistan Plastics Manufacturers Association.
PPMA is the only body of the Plastics Manufacturers in Pakistan registered Under the Trade Ordinance, Ministry
of Industries, Government of Pakistan. PPMA has its Head Office in Karachi and Zonal Office in Lahore. PPMA
is the voice of Pakistan Plastics Industry.Currently PPMA publishes two main publications i.e. Pakplas Magazine
and Pakplas Directory. The Pakplas magazine is published from Head Office in Karachi and the Pakplas Directory
is published from PPMA Zonal Office in Lahore. PPMA Logo and design has been registered and obtained
exclusive right by the Trade Mark Registry, Government of Pakistan. Pakplas Magazine is a registered magazine
published annually having a national and international recognition.
To date Pakpas has published 9th annual magazine and the current issue is a 10th one. Thus a jubilation is felt
at every level among the PPMA members and the Executive Committee.
In the following lines, a brief history of Pakplas is enumerated for the interest of the readers:
PAKPLAS First Issue: 1991
The idea of publishing a
magazine was a challenging
task. Mr. Zakaria Usman was
a young chief who accepted the
challenge. The first magazine
was published in the year 1991
under the president ship of Mr.
Zakaria Usman.His deputies
were Mr. Abbas E. Gabajee,
Mr. Zafar Saeed and Mr. Sheikh Mohammad Tufail.
The Executive Committee felt that there should be
strong communication within the industry therefore a
publication was inevitable.
Thus the Pakplas Magazine was published. It was
published on the paperback edition. Fortunately, the
magazine was well taken by the Plastics Industry. It
was a great vision and a giant step which had been
materialized. After that PPMA Zonal office launched
and published five plastics news papers on monthly
basis. However, this could not be continued on a
regular basis.
PAKPLAS Second Issue: 1999
The Executive Committee of
PPMA and then Chairman Mr.
Zafar Saeed felt that there
should be strong communication
within the industry therefore a
publication was inevitable.
The Second issue came out
under the president ship of Mr.
Zafar Saeed in the year 1998.Mr. Iqbal Lakhani was
Sr. VP and Mr. Ehteshamuddin and Mr. Zahid Ahmed
were Vice Presidents.Mr. Mahmood Ghaznavi was the
Zonal President of PPMA North Zone.
This issue published after a gap of 8 years. Number
of events have been covered, topics of plastics
awareness were streamlined, membership directory
included etc. The issue was well appreciated but the
publication could not maintain on regular basis.
[ 109 ]

Narration Plastics Tree
By: Irfan Sabir
In today’s world, life without Plastics would be incomprehensible. Every day, Plastics contribute
to our health, safety and peace of mind. But how did this all start? how were Plastics materials
invented and discovered? None of the applications and innovations we take for granted would
have been possible if it weren’t for the early scientists who developed and refined the material.
Those pioneers made it possible for us to enjoy the quality of life we do today.
In the beginning was crude oil
It all begins with crude oil (petroleum) and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas occur in the earth’s crust; they were
formed millions of years ago, as a result of slow and lengthy processes from decayed plants and animals, buried deep into
the earth’s crust under tremendous pressure.Crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the ground, on land or under the
oceans, by sinking an oil well. They are then transported to refineries, by ship and/or by pipeline, lines of pipe equipped
with pumps, valves and various other control devices specially adapted for moving liquids and gases.
What happens at the refinery
The job of the refinery is to produce physical and chemical changes in crude oil and natural gas, through an arrangement
of extremely specialised manufacturing processes. One of these processes is distillation, i.e. the separation of heavy
crude oil into lighter groups (called fractions) of hydrocarbons. Two of these fractions are familiar to consumers. One, fuel
oil, is used for heating of for diesel fuel in automotive applications. Another one is naphtha, used in gasoline and also as
the primary source from which petrochemicals are derived.
Petrochemistry steps in
As far as petrochemistry is concerned, refining is where the job of the oil industry stops, and this is where the job of the
petrochemical industry takes over. Petrochemistry gets its raw material - known as feedstocks - from the refinery: naphtha,
components of natural gas such as butane, and some of the by-products of oil refining processes, such as ethane and
propane. These feedstocks are then processed through an operation that is known as cracking.
Cracking is simply the process of breaking down heavy oil molecules into lighter, more valuable fractions. In steam
cracking, high temperatures are used; when a catalyst is used it is known as catalytic cracking. The plant were these
operations are conducted is called - logically enough - a cracker.Once these operations are concluded, new products
are obtained, the building blocks of the petrochemical industry: olefins, i.e. mainly ethylene, propylene, and the so-called
C4 derivatives, including butadiene - and aromatics, so called because of their distinctive perfumed smell, i.e. mainly
benzene, toluene and the xylenes.
From mysterious to familiar products
These products (ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, xylenes...) are processed in petrochemical plants into
other, more specialised products - and it sometimes takes much more than one step for these products to be fit to be used
by the so-called downstream industries, the customer industries of petrochemistry. It takes only one (complex) operation
to go from ethylene to the well-known Plastics polyethylene, for example, but it takes more than seven to go from benzene
to the nylon used in our clothes and sports equipment!
In the end, petrochemicals will go into products that we are all familiar with: Plastics, soap healthcare products such as
the aspirin, synthetic fibres for clothes and furniture, rubbers, paints, insulating materials...

INDEBTEDNESS
In the preparation of Pakplas magazines the Pakplas Committee is indebted to many people.
In first place, Mr. Zakaria Usman initiated the idea and floated it in the year 1991. The then Executive Committee,
and his predecessors Mr. Zafar Saeed, Mr. Ehteshamuddin, Mr. Iqbal Lakhani, Mr. Shakeel Ahmed, Mr. Asif
Rasheed, Mr. Mustafeezuddin, Mr. Shoib Munshi, Mr Mahmood Ghaznavi, Mr. Nabeel Hashmi, Mr. Khalid
Maoosd and Mr. Shoib Ahmed. They all planned it, organize it and implemented it.
Mr. Imran Ghani who shaped it that Pakplas has become the magazine of the plastics world. It has become the
voice of the Pakistan Plastics Industry to represent in the world.
Mr. Fayyaz Choudhry, the secretary of the PPMA who worked hard to make it a reality. Pakplas is highly indebted
to Mr. S.M. Noman who has been associated with the magazine since its inception and really worked hard with
devotion. It is a unified opinion that without his support the venture would not have been possible.
The Present committee lead by Mr. S.M. Anwar has tried to complete their job. As usual Mr. S.M. Noman, the
Deputy Convenor supported all the way. in printing, ads, articles etc. etc.
Mr. Irfan Sabir who extended excellent support provided article, wrote narration of the title two very informative
articles for Pakplas and advertisement Mr. Aftab, Mr. Adil Shuja and Mr. Muddasir Rehman coordinated in spite
of their entire busy schedule. The Chairman remained with Pakplas all the time with Pakplas committee. The
Executive Committee supported and extended timely advises.
The devotion of staff is commendable. Mr. Rashid Mahmood, worked hard. Mr. Syed Ahsan Ali worked with
dedication irrrespective of time barriers and of great help. My Secretary Miss Erum Ahmad help a lot in paper
work and secretarial duties.
Special Thanks is for the ad participants who placed the ads without their support the magazine would not have
been possible. The article written by the seasoned professionals are of high quality and greatly admired
PPMA and Pakplas feel great pleasure in presenting its 10th issue for the readers. On the publication of 10th
issue of Pakplas annual magazine, we extend our congratulations and jubilation is felt at the entire level of the
association and its members.
We take the opportunity to thank the current Executive Committee of PPMA, Pakplas committee and current
employees of PPMA for their commitment, hard work, and loyalty. We look forward to seeing continuing success
in the pursuit of Pakplas in Pakistan and beyond.
Pakplas Committee is grateful to Almighty God who provided vision and courage to make Magazine possible.
