Plastic was a material created as a cheap substitute for ivory. Ivory at the time was mainly used to make pool balls, but elephants became illegal to hunt so they needed an alternative.
Plastic was created with natural rubber for balls, bands, and figurines as far back as 1600 BCE. The first man-made plastic is commonly accredited to Alexander Parkes, who developed Parkesine in 1855. Parkesine was created by treating cellulose with nitric acid and a solvent.
Most plastic bottles are a mix of new and recycled plastic.

i have discovered that you cannot digest plastic. As me and my friend experimented it and ate different size plastic buttons 4 weeks ago and they have not digested because the enzymes in our intestine cannot break down the strong bonds in plastic.
