Converting To Plastic
Converting to plastic is not a new trend.
Mr. McGuire, in the 1967 movie
The Graduate , gave Benjamin this famous word of advice; “Plastics”!
Today, conversion to plastic has impacted almost everything we interact with. From vehicles to medical instruments,
thousands of parts have been converted to plastics. Another example is the furniture industry, and the outdoor furniture industry in particular has made wide use of metal to plastic conversion. Many other industries are rapidly moving forward with conversions to plastic on equipment both large and small.
