Plastic is made of atom chains. There are many different types of plastic, although A majority of plastic is made from Hydrocarbons, also known as Gas, oil, tar....All of these are hydrocarbons...although only some are allowed to make plastics. Each is prepared in a certain way So, they are mixed with other chemicals, or heated to a specific temperature. this is what plastic is.
