Why are plastics tough?
In the main, plastics are tough, ignoring soft, crinkly plastics like plactic bags, because they are 1)polymers, meaning they have very long chain molecules, and 2), these molecules are lying together in rows, allowing very little space between them, which makes them hard, and rigid.
Are plastics non electrical conductors?
Plastics are typically good electrical insulators, meaning they do not conduct electricity well. This is due to their molecular structure which restricts the flow of electrons. However, some plastics can become conductive when certain additives or fillers are included in their composition.
Why is it that the names of so many plastics start with P?
Because P is from poly-, a prefix of Greek origin (with the meaning of many).

Are all plastics petrochemicals?
No, not all plastics are petrochemicals. A few examples of bioplastics (plastics made from biologic sources) include Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polylactic Acids and a wider variety of starch based plastics.
Why do plastics take up a lot of space in a landfill site?
Plastics take up a lot of space in landfill sites because they are non-biodegradable, meaning they do not easily break down into simpler, harmless compounds. As a result, plastics can persist in the environment for hundreds to thousands of years. Additionally, plastics are lightweight and bulky, further contributing to their volume in landfills. Proper recycling and waste management practices are crucial to mitigate the environmental impact of plastic waste accumulation.
