๐งช Leo Baekeland introduced Bakelite, the worldโs first fully synthetic plastic.
Unlike earlier materials derived from nature, Bakelite was created entirely in the lab, marking the beginning of the modern plastics era.
๐ฅ Heat-resistant, durable, and electrically insulating, Bakelite quickly found its way into everyday life โ from radios and telephones to kitchenware and jewellery.
More importantly, it proved that synthetic materials could reshape industries.
โณ Over a century later, its legacy lives on in countless plastics that power innovation, technology, and modern living.
