Not always, although the term is widely used for plastics such as polystyrene and polyethylene, and for artificial fibers such as Dacron, which like plastic bottles is a form of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). There are some natural polyesters.
A "polyester" is any natural or synthetic polymer (repeated chain molecule) containing esters. But the term is usually applied to two groups of synthesized molecules: thermoplastics and thermosets.
