Question:

How does crude oil become a plastic bag?

I just need to know the basic story of the journey of a carbon atom, from crude oil to a plastic bag.Thanks :)

Answer:

Plastic bags start as crude oil, natural gas, or other petrochemical derivatives, which are transformed into chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules known as polymers or polymer resin. After being heated, shaped, and cooled, the plastic is ready to be flattened, sealed, punched, or printed on. hope that helps...
