Plastic was created with natural rubber for balls, bands, and figurines as far back as 1600 BCE. The first man-made plastic is commonly accredited to Alexander Parkes, who developed Parkesine in 1855. Parkesine was created by treating cellulose with nitric acid and a solvent.

∙ 15y agoPlastic was first discovered 1856 by Alexander Parkes. It was not stated in any article I could find "why" he invented it, but he did hope to market it commercially. His was made from nitrocellulose and ethanol, and was brittle and expensive. In general, plastic allows high-volume manufacture of "stuff", without involving lots of labor. Put some serious dollars up front in molds, and squirt out "profits".
