(a)
Interpretation:
For given types of plastic, the percentage of recovered plastic from given weight generated plastic wastes has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Monomer: A molecule is considered as monomer when this molecule bonds with another identical molecule which results to form polymer.
(b)
Interpretation:
Three examples for given durable and non-durable plastic use have to be identified with reasons.
Concept Introduction:
Monomers combine together to form polymers. Monomers are the repeating units of small molecules which link together to form polymers and the process is called as polymerization.
