Plastic is a very good insulator. As such, if it come in contacts with another type of material, electrons may be added or removed from the insulator. When an object becomes positively or negatively charged, it may stick to other types of objects through electron interactions.

If you rub a balloon against your shirt and put it close to a very very small stream of water the stream of water moves to the balloon - is this something to do with electromagnetic waves?
No, it's static electricity. The balloon 'steals' electrons from your shirt (triboelectric charging) leaving it with a negative charge. The water has no net electric charge, since it consists of both positively and negatively charged ions. However, the individual negative charges are repelled by the balloon, and as they move away from it they become less relevant. The attractive force felt by the positively charged ions now dominates, drawing the thread of water towards the balloon.
