2. Which plastic is eco-friendly thermosetting (or) thermoplastic ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ans 1- The primary physical difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted back into a liquid, whereas thermoset plastics always remain in a permanent solid state. ... Think of thermoplastics as butter – butter can be melted and cooled multiple times to form various shapes.

Ans 2 - Thermosets are the necessary choice for applications that require high heat resistance. Thermoplastics though are much easier to process and are generally more environmentally friendly, as they can be melted down and easily recycled.
