Can plastic reflect sound and what is the science behind it?

All solids can reflect sound. Different plastics reflect by different amounts. Sound waves are vibrations. They transfer energy to the solid when they hit it, and the particles of solid vibrate more, and can transfer this vibration back to the air.
