# Heavy metal analysis in the plastics industry

## Do you want to carry out heavy metal analysis in the plastics industry

### Why carry out heavy metal analysis in the plastics industry?

First of all, plastics engineering refers to the set of techniques used by the plastics industry for **the processing of plastic materials (polymers)**. In this way, plastics engineering is the work of plastic.

Plastics are omnipresent in our daily lives, particularly in packaging, and, because of their toxicity, **heavy metals are substances subject to very strict regulations.**

Thus, as part of a quality control process or a product launch process for plastic products, the support of a **competent laboratory in heavy metal analysis in the plastics industry** is essential.
