Will reducing plastics consumption

reduce crude oil usage?

Only 4% of oil and

gas in Europe are

used for

manufacturing

plastics

and�

plastics contribute

significantly to

energy savings and

emission

reductions.

Packaging

Did you know:

• that 50% of EU goods

are packaged in

plastics

• that plastics account

for only 20% of

packaging by weight.

Plastic packaging:

When more means less

On average only 1 to 3% of a packed product’s weight it due to plastics

packaging:

• A plastic film of 2g packs 200g cheese

• A plastic bottle of 35g contains 1.5 litres beverage

Glass jars

36%for packaging

Plastic bags

3.56%for packaging

� Without plastics trucks would increase their travel frequency by 50%.

Contributing to a sustainable future.

PC with PET from recycled bottles

Plastics from roof to cellar

The unique nature of plastics means that it can be used throughout the house.

The plastics paradox: The more you

use – the more energy you save

� Plastics save much more energy and GHG emissions than is required to

produce the plastics.

Plastics are used:

• To enable passive ventilation and

preheating of fresh air

• To transfer air, water and sewage

efficiently and hygienically

• In energy-efficient windows and

window frames

• In energy-saving domestic

appliances

• To super-insulate and

weather-proof the structure

Unlimited opportunities to save

natural resources and energy

• Approximately 50 million kWh of energy

is saved each year in the EU through the

use of polyurethane insulation.

• Wall insulation of 1.6 cm of PUR has the

same insulation efficiency as a 1.34 m

thick concrete wall.*

• PUR are an important contributor to

energy conservation in refrigerators.

Models designated A++ are 60 % more

efficient than refrigerators 15 years ago.

Transport

Revolutionized car designs

Lightweight plastics give

designers and engineers the

freedom to create innovative

concepts and improve fuel

consumption.

Reduced Car Weight by

new Technologies and Materials

Plastics share: 90 kg

Total Weight: 850 kg

Plastic share: 240 kg (140 kg*)

Total Weight: 1360 kg (1750 kg*)* Based on 1990 technical standards

390 kg reduced weight by new technologies and materials are providing approx.

2,0 l fuel saving per 100 km.

Based on 30.000 km per year this results in a reduction of approx. 1,4 t CO2 emission!!

New transport technologies

Stronger and lighter airplanes

In aircraft, where every gram

counts, plastics are used:

•in doors, windows, seats and

interior trim

•in rudders and stabilisers, wing

housings, flaps, spoilers and tyres

•to save fuel and cash on every

flight.

���� The Airbus A380 is made of

22% composite plastics

allowing 15% fuel savings.

���� 50% of composite plastics

make the Boeing 787

Dreamliner 20% lighter and

reduce fuel consumption by

20%.

Conclusion

Plastics:

So plastics will be a

key material

for the 21st century???

L.. provided we all help to resolve some

problemsLL.

80% of marine litter originates from land

Improper use of landfills

Marine litter and its sources

Waste collection

systems working badly Improper

use of landfills

Behaviour

Plastics do not pollute as such, but are unfortunately littered and ending up in

oceans.

Plastics are too

valuable to be wasted!

It is a resource.

Do plastics pollute?
