How is it made?
Rayon is cellulose that is extracted from wood pulp. The cellulose is then treated with caustic soda, ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid. Since it is made out of naturally occurring polymers, it considered semi - synthetic.
Impact to Society:
The production of rayon produces a lot of pollution.

1. How it’s made

Made of ancient marine organisms

Long ago, algae and plants lived and dyed and sank to sea floor, mixed with other sediments, and got buried

Later, over hundreds of years under high pressure and temperature, they turned to what we call now as fossil fuels (Coal, Natural Gas, and Petroleum)

Today found under underground reservoirs and extracted with drill

Is black or dark brown, but can also be yellowish, reddish, tan, or even greenish (Shows material composition)

Created massive economy of petroleum based products

How it is made:
Plastic is made of carbon rich oil that is mixed with another less rich oil. The mixture is then blended and heated.

Impact on society:
Plastic is very useful for many reasons such as making health care items, but it also has a negative impact. Plastic takes hundred of years to biodegrade, and a lot of plastic items are only used once and then thrown away.  Additionally, plastic contains molecules that are harmful to humans if ingested, and plastic polymers get into food, water, and the air. It is also harmful to animals if consumed.

How its made:
It is made of coal, petroleum, air and water.  The polymer material is created during polymerization,  witch is extruding extruding hot into long fibers that are stretched until they are about five times their original length. Polyester fibers or threads are made using a spinning process.

What impact it has on society:
In the process of making polyester natural habitats are destroyed because of mining for non-renewable resources, coal and petroleum. Also, the huge rate of production for polyester by industries and factories have become a major source of pollution.

Natural Resource Base:
Mostly made from harvesting plants. And leftover items like wood or grain.
Impact on Society:

Doesn't pollute as much as fossil fuels and gas.

There are three main types of biofuel:

Ethanol, biodiesel, and biojet fuel.

Ethanol is used in engines that burn gasoline, like most cars.

Biodiesel is used in engines that burn diesel fuel, like large trucks and tractors.

Biojet fuel is used in planes.

How its made:

Nylon is a polymer—a plastic with super-long, heavy molecules built up of short, endlessly repeating sections of atoms, just like a heavy metal chain is made of ever-repeating links.

Impact on society
Discovery of Nylon has led to second skin fabrics and safety netting used on space shuttles. Also nylon has gotten many of us out of airport baggage claim areas.The invention of nylon led to the introduction of lightweight luggage (made of Nylon).

Pour molten glass on tin to make it flat. The glass floats on the tin cooling and flattening at the same time. At the end the glass hardens. The glass is still 1000 degrees F.

It hardens in one continuous sheet of about a quarter of a mile.

It is almost unbreakable at this point because it is so long.

A robot cuts the glass into 12 feet across. Use suction cup robots to move the glass to packing station.

They have to wear kevlar suit so they don’t cut themselves on the glass.

How it affects society:
The only greenhouse gas it emits is CO2. This happens when you burn the glass.
