Plastic is defined as a material that contains an essential ingredient an organic substance of large molecular weight. It is also defined as polymers of long carbon chains. Carbon atoms are linked in chains and are produced in long-chain molecules.

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be molded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of various shapes.

A plastic. is a kind of material that is made by people and can be formed into almost any shape. Most plastics are strong, long-lasting, and lightweight. They resist damage by water, heat, chemicals, and electricity. In addition, plastics can be made in many colors.

Plastics are used to describe a group of materials that can be produced from natural resources or synthetically created resources. The raw materials used to produce plastics today are mostly found in the natural world, and include cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, and crude oil.
