Answer:

he main ingredient in most plastic material is a derivative from crude oil and natural gas. There are many different types of plastics – clear, cloudy, solid colour, flexible, rigid, soft, etc. Plastic products are often a polymer resin which is then then mixed with a blend of additives (See polymer vs. plastic).

Plastics are made from natural materials such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt and crude oil through a polymerisation or polycondensation process. Plastics are derived from natural, organic materials such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt and, of course, crude oil.
