Plastic

Plastic is the general term used for a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that can be molded into objects or filaments. They are composed of addition polymers and may contain other substances to improve their performance or reduce manufacturing costs. Plastic poses many problems to the environment, as it is mostly non-biodegradable. Even plastic that is biodegradable takes a long time to decompose.
