What is Plastic?
Plastics are polymers or chains of repeating molecule sequences made from oil. They contain many water soluble toxins.
using heat to derive hydrocarbon monomers (single molecules comprised of hydrogen and carbon atoms)
Oil is refined
monomers are combined through a process known as polymerization using catalysts to create chains of these molecule known as polymers
Polymerization
polymers are melted together to form different types of plastics and shaped into pellets
Pellets are the raw material to manufacture products.
