 People are more focused on products and technologies that are 

friendly to the environment than ever. With climate change at the 

front of many political debates, people want to be sure the products 

they’re using aren’t harmful to the environment and don’t pose any 

health risks when using.

One industry that takes a lot of flack from those concerned about the 

environment is the plastics industry. That is because of its reliance 

on fossil fuels and those mountains of plastic waste all over the 

planet.

But not all plastics are created equal, and in this piece, we look at 

polyurethane and answer the question: how environmentally friendly is 

it?

Polyurethane vs Plastic or 

First, let’s get the answer out of the way and then look into the 

specifics. Yes, polyurethane, like

plastics. It also doesn’t contain any chemicals that interfere with 

endocrine and hormone systems, nor does it contribute to PH change in 

soil or water.

But what about all that plastic waste we see in photos almost 

everyday? Note that most of the plastics in the shocking photos are 

thermoplastics, which account for over 95% of the waste seen in the 

oceans.
