Plastics are made mostly from petroleum, and petroleum is getting more expensive. It is a non renewable resource, in the sense that there is only so much oil in the oil wells, and when it is pumped out, it does not get replaced. We might have to switch to agricultural sources of oil, which will be more expensive.
