Mu isoko, kenshi turabona ubwoko bwinshi bw’ibikoresho vy’imeza vy’ipulasitike bishobora gukoreshwa, harimwo n’amasandugu y’ifunguro ry’umutaga, ibipande vy’impuzu, ibipfunsi, ibipfukisho, ibiyiko, amasandugu mashasha y’amasandugu y’ipulasitike n’inkoni zivyura. Ivyo bikoresho vyo ku meza biva mu bikoresho bitandukanye, ariko bishobora guca mu bwoko bune: PET (polythylene terephthalate), PE (polythylene), PP (polypropylene) na PS (polystyrene). Ivyo bikoresho biratekanye kandi bitagira ubumara - Kugira ngo umuntu ashobore gusubira gukoresha ibintu bishaje, igice co hasi c’ivyo bikoresho vy’imeza y’ipulasitike gishobora gukoreshwa, akenshi gicapwa n’ikimenyetso co gusubira gukoresha, kandi imibare itandukanye igereranya ibikoresho bitandukanye vy’ipulasitike.
Ibikoresho vya PET n'ukwiyubara
PET irafise ubushuhe bubi, kandi ubushuhe bwayo bwo gukoresha ntibukwiye kurenga 70 degre , rero ni vyiza gukoresha mu bushuhe bwo mu cumba. Nkako, amacupa menshi y’amazi y’amabuye y’agaciro be n’amacupa y’ibinyobwa vy’amazi agaragara cane mu buzima bwacu bwa misi yose, akozwe muri PET.
Ibiranga PE n'ibiranga
Ibikoresho vya PE bishobora guca mu bice vy’agaciro kanini - uburemere bw’ibintu vyinshi HDPE n’ivyo hasi- uburemere bw’uburemere bwa LDPE. Muri vyo, HDPE ikoreshwa kenshi mu gupfunyika ibintu vyo gusukura no kwoga, kandi ntiyibereye ku bijanye n’ibifungurwa. LDPE ikoreshwa mu kuzigama ibifungurwa, ifise ubushobozi bwo guhangana n’ubushuhe n’ugushikama kw’imiti, iraremereye cane mu buremere, kandi ifise urugero runaka rw’uguserukira abantu mu mucyo. Ikindi, irafise ubushuhe bwiza bwo guhangana n’ubushuhe, ubushobozi bwo guhangana n’ubukonje n’ugushikama kw’imiti, rero akenshi ihindurwa mu gipfukisho c’ibifungurwa no mu mifuko mishasha.
