The question is in some cases, is it better? Plastic is not always better than wood or steel but a main reason for using plastic is that is relatively cheap, it is easy to shape using heat (depending on if it is a thermoplastic or a thermosetting plastic) So its more about for what you are you are making where plastic might be better to use, it is not always best. Like in the engine in a car, using plastic would be a dreadful idea because of all the explosions.

What is a better insulator plastic or wood?
The better insulator is plastic because wood can get wet easily and stay wet longer than plastic.
Which is a better conductor wood or polystyrene?
Wood is a better conductor of heat than polystyrene. Polystyrene is a poor conductor of heat, making it a good insulator. Wood, on the other hand, conducts heat more efficiently due to its molecular structure.
Why do you use wood for piano cover?

Does plastic or wood float better?
Plastic generally floats better than wood due to its lower density. Density is the mass of a material per unit volume, and since plastic is less dense than wood, it displaces more water and floats more easily. However, the specific type of plastic or wood can also impact their respective buoyancy properties.
Which above ground pool is better wood or steel?
steel requires less maintenance because it will not rott as fast as wood without any protection added.....polycarbonate plastic is the future of pool walls.

Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?
Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.
Is metal a better conducter than plastic?
Plastic, wood and paper are insulators and very poor conductors of electricity.
What material is a garden spade made out of?
