At present, plastic and rubber are widely used materials throughout the planet, since in recent years their growth has increased by more than 8% in just over half a century. The important consumption of plastic came during the 60s in which the population realized the great utility of these materials and the convenience of using them.

The growth of plastic and rubber is directly related to the significant increase in population, having to find new options for transporting goods, conservation and many more tasks that are easier today thanks to plastic.

The big problem with plastic and rubber is the environmental effects they cause on the planet. The decomposition time of plastic can range from 100 years to 1000, depending on its composition, hardness, treatment... With the amount of plastic that is generated daily, we are talking about very high and worrying figures that make society reflect and consider plastic as one of the most harmful materials for living beings.

Thanks to environmental currents, in recent years wood has seen a great growth in the production of products made with wood with the intention of significantly reducing plastic. With small changes it is possible to consume less plastic in our daily lives: disposable cardboard cutlery, paper bags, wooden kitchen utensils, bamboo toothbrushes, paper straws...

This does not mean that investing in plastic is a mistake, because the harsh reality is that plastic is still essential for many tasks and is still used in large quantities.

This is a list of the plastic and rubber companies that have the best situation in the stock market with an upward trend and with the possibility of buying shares as an investment.
