The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur.
Plastics, also called polymers, are produced by the conversion of natural products or by the synthesis from primary chemicals generally coming from oil, natural gas, or coal.

What are plastics generally manufactured from?
Plastics are made from raw materials like natural gas, oil, or plants, which are refined into ethane and propane.
Ethane and propane are then treated with heat in a process called “cracking” which turns them into ethylene and propylene.
These materials are combined together to create different polymers.
Why did we make plastic?
Plastics could protect the natural world from the destructive forces of human need.
The creation of new materials also helped free people from the social and economic constraints imposed by the scarcity of natural resources. Inexpensive celluloid made material wealth more widespread and obtainable.
