Plastic usage in manufacturing has several benefits, ranging from its durability and longevity to the flexibility of the product. PVC is a low-cost alternative to other traditional materials such as steel, concrete, wood and even cast iron. Although each of those hold advantages and disadvantages as well, choosing to buy raw plastic material for your business can be an excellent economical decision. Not sure how this would fit into your current offerings? Here are some product categories where plastic raw materials or PVC can act as an alternative in finished goods or products.
1) Metal/Wooden Window Blinds And Frames
Metal/wooden windows blinds and frames are in-demand items that many manufacturers produce. However, plastic blinds and frames are becoming popular amongst consumers who have tighter budgets. Plastic allows manufacturers to design blinds in similar styles and colours as ones made with metal or wood, without the high cost.
2) Stainless Steel or Metal Pipe Fittings
Stainless steel is frequently sought for piping systems because it’s a non-corrosive material and ideal for liquid and gas flow. However, plastic piping is also a good alternative. Plastic can be just as durable as steel and is more flexible. It can be used for years and is also non-corrosive and non-abrasive. Plastic piping can easily be integrated into water flow systems, heating purposes and even sewer applications.
3) Layered Protective Packaging
Glass and cardboard are commonly used for packaging products that offer protective layering, but plastic could be the better alternative. Glass is ideal but can break easily and isn’t impact or shockproof. Cardboard isn’t a durable material in the long-term, either. As plastic can be reused, it’s easier to work with and has minimal disadvantages. Along with these other materials, plastic can also be recyclable. Because of how flexible it is, it’s easy to wrap around or encase other products and suitable for layering. It’s also relatively cheaper than other materials, making it a more affordable choice.
