Explanation:

Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic polymers that are malleable and can be molded into solid objects during manufacturing processes. Because of their light-weight, durable and flexible properties and cheap production processes, plastics has been used for a wide range of products in contemporary society. Plastic typically are made through human industrial systems; most modern plastics are derived from fossil fuel based petrochemicals like natural gas or petroleum; however, more recent industrial methods use variants made from renewable materials such as derivatives of corn or cotton.[1] Plastics should not be confused with the general concept of plasticity, a property of all materials which can deform irreversibly without breaking.
