Each different kind of plastic is synthesized by a different process. If you put a diol and a diacid in a jar, not mixed but layered, you can grab the plastic that forms where the layers meet and pull out a thread. That is how nylon is made. Teflon will form directly from the tetrafluoroethene gas, no process at all. Some plastics have very complex processes.
