History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 325211-04 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The "Plastics (Manufacturing)" industry has a long and rich history that dates back to the mid-19th century. In 1856, Alexander Parkes invented the first synthetic plastic, which he called Parkesine. This was followed by the invention of Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic, by Leo Baekeland in 1907. During World War II, the demand for plastics increased dramatically, leading to the development of new types of plastics such as polystyrene and polyethylene. In recent years, the industry has seen significant advancements in the development of bioplastics, which are made from renewable resources and are biodegradable. In the United States, the industry has been impacted by the shale gas boom, which has led to a decrease in the cost of natural gas, a key feedstock for plastics production. This has led to increased investment in the industry and the development of new technologies.
