Chain Of Miracles

Humankind has never been so desperate… Neither meteorites nor aliens, neither earthquakes nor volcanic eruptions… a virus that we cannot see with our eyes, small enough to disrupt the balance of the world, has made human beings helpless and powerless in a single moment !!!

With Covid-19, all the balances from economy to social life were disrupted, and scientists started vaccine research in hopes of finding a cure. As a result of years of studies, there are still many viruses that have not been vaccinated. While some scientists were working with hope, some autorotis painted pessimistic pictures. The miracle happened and the Covid-19 vaccine was found much sooner than expected, but another miracle was necessary for mankind! How would we carry and use the vaccine that had to be kept at incredibly cold temperatures? Of course, once again, plastics came to our rescue and the second miracle happened !!! Mankind was no longer helpless ...

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a wonder of modern science. No other material conforms to the insulation properties. EPS is incredibly lightweight, easy to mold and shape. It is the unique material that enables the first Covid-19 vaccines to reach their destination safely and securely. In an incomprehensible and unacceptable way, some countries were drafting a bill to ban EPS foam packaging material.

EPS provides shockproof padding to protect glass bottles, contains dry ice and preserves life-saving medicines in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and ultimately for patients who rely on vaccination to return to normal life for all of us. Engineers in the plastics industry work tirelessly to produce products that best meet their customers' needs by conserving resources, improving performance and reducing costs. Expanded polystyrene is a product of this kind of work, but unfortunately it is often a target to get political points for bans. Do we need to reuse, collect and recycle more plastic? Exactly. All parties agree on this. Are the prohibitions a solution? Of course not…. However, we hope this pandemic process has shown that plastics play a vital role in society. The safe delivery of a vaccine in EPS packaging is just another example. For this reason, endless thanks to the expanded polystyrene that has been protecting the vaccine we have been waiting for since 2020 started… Endless thanks to the plastic sector employees who completed the miracle chain !!!

Perhaps the plastics that miraculously mediate the meeting of Covid-19 vaccines, which will make life return to normal again, will become a target again when the pandemic is over, of course, prohibition studies for EPS will be started again, but remember, history does not lie ... EPS, who is in love with its hangman, is a solution, a remedy for human beings. will continue to be. Its name changes, its shape changes, its formula changes, the ingratitude of human beings does not change. Good days are waiting for us, we have no doubt, but protecting the environment is not a ban on plastics, but a consciousness ...
