Here is an excellent infographic from the insulation systems website called UniTherm that is packed with information about the history of plastic. This timeline piece starts off in 1862 when Alexander Parks demonstrated an organic material derived from cellulose that when heated, moulded and cooled could retain an entirely new shape and goes all the way through to 2001 when Apple developed the iPod.
We hope that you find this plastic infographic interesting and please share it on social media.
