Since when has plastic been used in the generation of tableware?

Plastics are developed with the development of the chemical industry.

It was probably after the fifties and sixties of the 20th century.

The first fully synthetic plastic came from Belgian-American Leo Hendrik Beckland, who patented phenolic plastic 102 years ago on July 14, 1907. In 1910, Bakeland founded the General Phenolic Plastics Company, which began production at its New Jersey facility. Soon there were competitors, notably Redmanol and Condensite, two strong plastics, from which Edison had tried unsuccessfully to make gramophone records to control the market.

The advent of counterfeit phenolic plastics also led to the early adoption of the "Intel Inside" label on its products, similar to today's "Intel Inside". In 1926, patent protection expired, and a large number of similar products flooded the market. After negotiations, Beckland merged with its rivals and had a true phenolic empire.

Shuschny, the inventor of the plastic bag.

On October 24, 1902, Austrian scientist Max Schuschny invented the plastic bag, which is light and strong, which was tantamount to a scientific and technological revolution at that time. But Shuschny never dreamed that his invention would bring environmental disasters to mankind 100 years later. Since most plastic bags are produced from non-renewable degradable materials, the disposal of these white waste can only be done by digging up the soil for landfill or incinerating it at high temperatures.

Neither of these methods is environmentally friendly, and according to scientists, it takes more than 200 years for plastic bags to rot when buried in the ground, and they seriously pollute the soil. The harmful smoke and toxic gases produced by incineration will also cause pollution to the atmospheric environment.

From June 1, 2008, we will stop using plastic bags free of charge, propose to use plastic bags for compensation, and advocate the use of environmentally friendly bags!

October 24, 1902.

The worst invention of the century".

100 years ago, on October 24, Austrian Max Schuschny invented the plastic bag, which was both light and strong, and was tantamount to a technological revolution at the time. Since then, people feel relaxed when they go out shopping, and they don't need to carry anything with them, because the shops and vegetable markets have free plastic bags. But Schuschny never dreamed that by the time of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the plastic bag, it would be rated as the "worst invention" of mankind in the 20th century.

From the earliest known ape in China, Yuanmou Man (1.7 million years ago), it is such a developed technology
