Production Technologies of Various Types of Environmentally
The production technologies of environmentally friendly plasticizer oils such as TDAE, TRAE, MES, and NAP for the rubber and tire industries are considered. Their basic physicochemical properties and specific application examples are presented. The influence of the types of plasticizer oils on the performance properties of rubber products and tires is described.

Government of Canada taking action to reduce plastic pollution
Launching Canada’s Plastics Science Agenda . The Government of Canada will accelerate research along the lifecycle of plastics and on the impacts of plastics pollution on humans, wildlife, and the environment. It will support evidence-based decision-making and innovative approaches to sustainable plastics production, recycling, and recovery.
The Future of Petrochemicals – Analysis - IEA
The Future of Petrochemicals takes a close look at the consequences of growing demand for these products, and what we can do to accelerate a clean energy transition for the petrochemical industry. Our economies are heavily dependent on petrochemicals, but the sector receives far less attention than it deserves.
U.S. plastic production by resin 2025 | Statista
Plastic production in the U.S. 2025, by resin. In 2025, the United States produced 123.9 billion pounds of resins. Of this total, thermoplastics accounted for roughly 86 percent of total
- What percentage of Canada's GDP is made from plastics?
- The plastics-processing industry accounts for 0.5% of national gross domestic product (GDP), 0.5% of total national employment and 3.9% of manufacturing employment. Some of the major processors include Leco Inc, Toronto; Union Carbide Canada Ltd, Toronto; and Canadian General-Tower Ltd, Cambridge, Ontario.
- Why are plasticizers important?
- Plasticizers are vital to the plastics industry, particularly in improving the properties of materials such as PVC.
- How many people make plastics in Canada?
- The forming of plastics into film, pipe, bottles and a myriad of molded shapes is estimated to employ 70 600 people (1997) in Canada. In 1997, this industry generated shipments valued at $11.8 billion.
- Who makes plastic products?
- In contrast to the manufacture of the resins, usually undertaken by multinationals strong in polymer technology, the fabricating of plastics products is often guided by entrepreneurs. The most successful of these are generally members of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and the Society of Plastics Industry (SPI).
- How much money does the plastics-processing industry make?
- In 1997, this industry generated shipments valued at $11.8 billion. The plastics-processing industry accounts for 0.5% of national gross domestic product (GDP), 0.5% of total national employment and 3.9% of manufacturing employment.
- What are plastics based on?
- Plastics are based on giant molecules (polymers) which have a structure so ordered that they can be shaped at elevated temperatures and pressures, ie, these long-chain polymers exhibit "plastic flow" when heated. They are often modified with other materials (eg, plasticizers, fillers, stabilizers) before being processed in the molten state.
