Most plastics are made from a petrochemical base such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) which is used to make things like soda or water bottles. There are other classes of plastics which do come from organics resins made from trees and other plants called celluloid. The first originated in 1856 called Parkesine and was actually the first man-made plastic. An example of a celluloid we use today is Tenite which is used in everything from tool handles to toothbrushes.
