Sažetak
Our present life could not be imagined without plastics and rubber. Plastic era, this popular name for a second half of the 20 century, is continued to the 21 century too. Plastics and rubber are, for a long time, not just cheap alternative materials, but, thanks to them, it is possible to produce a great number of high-tech products. Since polymers are, because of their properties very friendly to the environment, that is the reason why they can be called the greenest materials also. Production and processing of polymers are branches which world-wide have the longest periods of growth of the amount of produced and processed materials, profits margins and number of employees. The work presents the current state in production and processing of plastics and rubber in the world and in Europe.
