This guide provides the vocabulary to be used in the field of polymers and plastic materials and items.
The proposed terms and definitions are directly issued from a scientific and technical analysis of the various stages and mechanisms involved in the alteration of plastics up to mineralization, bioassimilation and biorecycling of macromolecular compounds and polymeric products; i.e polymeric items.
NOTE The proposed vocabulary is intended also to be in agreement with a terminology usable in various domains dealing with time limited plastic applications, namely biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental, i.e., in surgery, medicine, agriculture, or plastics waste management.
