How is polyethlene made?
It is made by a process called polymerization, this is where they take lots of monomers (in this case ethene) and combine them together using an addition reaction. This is only possible in monomer where there is a double bond as to add them the double bond has to break for there to be enough room on the carbon for the new monomer. This process is done millions of times and is finally makes polythene which is used to make bin liners and poly bags. This is the proses: Crude Oil -> Crude Oil Vapour --> Diesel Oil --> Ethene --> Polythene
