PLASTIC LAMINATES

The article PLASTIC discusses the material as alchemy in that it can imitate nature and used to produce a multitude of products.  A brand name such as Tupperware, I can remember as a child my mother being so excited after going to a party that sold the product.  She bought a wide variety of shapes and sized to help her with feeding a family with 5 kids.  She was estatic that it could be put in the freezer and still maintain its integrity.  It didn't in the dishwasher, we had one of those firsts too, because it could melt!
Plastic furniture, office products, building materials are also discussed with a variety of examples.  Every shape and color can be formed with plastic.
Plastic laminates such as FORMICA are also used as building materials that have a surface that imitates nature, like wood.  It's strong, durable and requires little maintenance.  Here are a few examples of LAMINATE used in offices:
