It depends on the plastic. Most are more dense than water, but polythene and polypropylene (and a few others) are less dense.

Most commercial plastics are not the pure compound but have other materials incorporated including fillers (material which is cheaper than the plastic) but also those for particular physical or chemical properties.

Some, notably polystyrene and polyurethane are often used in the form of solid foam , with lots of gas bubbles in them, making them much lighter. The cube may of course be hollow.

IF WE RELEASE A PLASTIC CUBE IN WATER IT WILL NOT SINK DUE TO ITS LOW DENSITY AS COMPARED TO THE WATER
