Polymers as the name suggests are used in making polythene, polythene materials like hand bags have become integral part of our lives, though plastic is non biodegradable in nature and hence its excessive use can cause environmental problems.
Polymers have a molecular structure that us linked together strongly hence can be used for holding up heavy pressure and carry heavy loads, a relatively thin layer is plastic is more strong then any other material.

What are the differences between polymers and plastics?
All Plastics are the polymers but all the polymers are not the Plastics, why because there will be biodegradable polymers, biopolymer, rubber exist, which will be not in the plastic group
Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers will degrade over time.... man-made polymers are not biodegradable - and need to be processed.
When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
