It is derived from the polymers present in the natural materials like plants, minerals, oil, coal and natural gas. Polymers are a large group of monomers linked together by a chemical process called Polymerization. Synthetic and natural are the two types of polymers used to make plastics. Plastics are also made from t petrol, coal, oil and natural gas. Plastics contain hydrocarbons and other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, sulphur and chlorine. There are two types of plastic:

Thermoplastic: Thermoplastic is a plastic material its shape can changed at specific temperature. Some thermoplastic have high weight.

Thermoplastic can be used in the manufacture of CD and DVD, Plastic models of cars and boats. Other examples of thermoplastics are such as plastic bottles for water, Shampoo bottles, kettles, Toasters and children toys.

There are different types of thermoplastic are as follows:-

• Polyethylene terephthalate –PET
• High-density polyethylene – HDPE
• Low-density polyethylene – LDPE
• Polystyrene – PS
• Polypropylene-PP

Thermosetting Plastic: Thermosetting plastic are mainly hard Plastic. Main Disadvantages of thermosetting plastic where it is melted or heated it cannot be back in to liquid form. Thermosetting Plastic is widely used in Electric switches, light fitting and handles

Properties of plastics: The plastic has following properties

• Easy to mold or shape
• Transparent and are available in different colors
• Plastics are solid- may be amorphous, crystalline or semi-crystalline solids
• Good durability
• Has low density
• Good electrical insulators
• Low thermal and electrical conductivity
• Resistant to corrosion and chemicals
• Low production cost
• Water proof

Causes of plastic pollution

• Over-usage of plastic bags for shopping
• Disposal of plastic products such as glasses.
• Burning of plastic products
• More use of plastic toys
• Use of plastic cups, bottles, spoon, containers, etc.
• Failure of recycling and reusing of plastic products
