Polymer

Virgin compounds are materials that have never been processed or used before. They are extracted directly from natural sources or synthesized from raw materials without any recycling or reclamation processes. This means that virgin compounds are in their purest and most original state. Examples of virgin compounds include virgin plastics, virgin metals, virgin rubber, and virgin paper. These materials are often used in industries that require high-quality, consistent products, such as manufacturing, construction, and electronics. While virgin compounds offer certain advantages, such as purity and reliability, they also have environmental drawbacks, as their extraction and production can contribute to resource depletion and pollution.
