Plastic is a synthetic and versatile material created from polymers derived from petroleum.
It is characterized by being moldable when heated and maintaining its shape when cooled, making it suitable for a wide variety of uses. Plastic is widely used in the manufacturing of packaging, bottles, toys, utensils, among other products.
While its versatility and durability have been beneficial, its excessive use and lack of proper recycling have led to environmental pollution and degradation of the environment.
