The plastics and polymers industry is getting an increasing attention from various user industries as well as environmentalists. While there is no doubt about the utility of plastic as the favored material especially in the electrical components, textiles and packaging industries, environmentalists are concerned about issues such as biodegradability and the harmful effects of using plastic material. All this action in this industry creates the need for a magazine that can give an intelligent analysis of these issues and give insights into the latest technological developments, government policies and environmental issues. The Economic Times publishes ET Polymers journal to cover all these topics and more.
