Today most plastics are made from crude oil and natural gas, although they can be also produced from corn and other biomasses. First, refineries process the crude oil to produce fuels, such as gasoline, and many petrochemicals. Petrochemicals then are used by chemical plants to obtain many products, like fertilizers, lubricants, and plastic resins. Plastic resins are, in turn, used to produce many different types of plastics.
Refineries and manufacturers use process called Catalytic Cracking to break Crude Oil into Liquefied Gases, Gasoline, Diesel, Asphalt, and many others, and then reforming and alkylation processes to turn simple hydrocarbons of Liquefied Gases and/or Naphtha into polymers (chains of molecules). Polymers are then processed into plastics that we know today.
