Plastic is not one substance, but a whole category of substances. The definition of plastic has changed over time, and not everyone would agree on the same one, though most people would recognize something as a plastic. One category is the polyalkanes, such as polythene and polypropylene and these are very unreactive. Another type is PET or polyester, which is much more reactive, though still not violently so.
