Indeed, there are professional welders out there who are solely busy with artwork. It can be richly rewarding being focused purely on creativity as a professional. And yet still, a degree of technical and engineering capabilities is critically required in this industry. It is broadly based, catering for numerous commercial and industrial enterprises, anything from doing plastic welding repairs for small to medium-sized manufacturing concerns to the soldering of aircraft hulls on behalf of the military industrial complex.
Now, about those plastics, just for a second, if you please. Much has already been said on how much plastic is such a contentiously fabricated material. Most industrialists know this, but many people don’t. Tell them this now and they may stare right back at you in disbelief were you to tell them that plastic, in all its hues and for all its numerous uses there must be thousands of uses for plastic by now plastic is manufactured directly from oil.
Yes, that’s right, folks. Oil. Most people know this by now; oil is surely the worst polluter to the earth’s currently toxic and noxious atmosphere, to say nothing of all the chemical fumes that are being spewed from the industrial furnaces’ smokestacks. And plastic? Well now, there is another big polluter. It’s getting pretty bad. If plastic is not being burned into the earth’s atmosphere, its sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
Thousands of species are dying as a result. Needless to say, many industries are bearing the brunt for all these dangerously high levels of pollution. But, slowly but surely, they are doing something about it, finding new solutions to reduce carbon emissions and eliminate waste. And among all the artisans out there, the welding fraternity, by their very work, is playing its part too.
