The color of crumpled plastic is white because it reflects light of all wavelengths in the visable range. Light is reflected from a reflective surface at approximately 2 precent of the total light shining on it. When there is a second reflective surface beneath it light is also reflected but if both photons are in the same phase then the square of the total from both surfaces is reflested back ie. 16 percent, if they are out of phase they cancel out and no light is reflected. So when several reflective surfaces are layerd most of the light is reflected. If it is illuminated by white light then white light will be reflected.

Why does plastic turn white when you bend it, and what causes this change in color?
When plastic turns white when bent, it is due to a phenomenon called stress whitening. This occurs because bending the plastic causes tiny cracks to form on the surface, which scatter light and make the plastic appear white. The change in color is caused by the scattering of light due to the cracks, rather than a change in the actual color of the plastic material.
Who decided the universal sign for a broken down vehicle was hanging a plastic shopping bag out of your window?

The point is the white color to get peoples attention, and the fact that the color white holds significance in the form of someone defeated and surrendered (and in this case, in need of help). It doesn't have to be a plastic bag, it could be a white shirt or white tarp (but who has white tarp?), but a plastic bag is the easiest.
