If this question means which plastics are produced the most annually, I think that would be:

1. polyethylene

2. polypropylene

3. polyethyleneterephtalate. (PET, as in plastic bottles)

4. polystyrene

5. polyester

However, as plastic is a collective term for many different materials, there are also many different ways to classify plastics.
