Plastics are made of polymers (or am I somehow missing a deeper question here?)
carbon and polymers
Polymers are all around us. They vary from plastic bags to even credit cards. Simple to make and simple to use!
Plastic is made form oil. Oil contains many different polymers and monomers. Scientists combine these qualities to make plastic. Color is then added or extracted to make the plastic the desired hue.

Plastics are polymers but not necessarily the other way round. DNA and other biological molecules are polymers but they are not plastics.
All Plastics are the polymers but all the polymers are not the Plastics, why because there will be biodegradable polymers, biopolymer, rubber exist, which will be not in the plastic group
The so called "plastic materials" are polymeric materials.
Some are but others are not made from plastic but from other synthetic polymers.
A plastic in science is a compound because it is made up of many single cell monomers which are chemically reacted and combined to form long chains called polymers which make plastic.
