∙ 14y agoPlastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic amorphous solid materials used in the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular mass. The Greek meaning (plastikos) fit for molding, and (plastos) meaning molded. It refers to their malleability, or plasticity during manufacture, that allows them to be cast, pressed, or extruded into a variety of shapes-such as films, fibers, plates, tubes, bottles, boxes, and much more.
