No because crude oil does get to the surface so there are bugs that destroy it.
Plastics can be recycled over and over, whether they are made from crude fossil fuel oil, or renewable vegetable oil. So in this sense they are sustainable. The earth has a limited supply of crude oil, but when that runs out there will still be some fossil fuel plastics to be recycled.
Approximately 4-8% of the world's crude oil is used to produce plastics. This percentage can vary based on factors such as oil demand, production methods, and the specific types of plastics being manufactured. The majority of crude oil is primarily used for fuel and energy production. As the demand for sustainable alternatives grows, the reliance on crude oil for plastic production may change in the future.
Most are- but bioplastics exist. Very interesting development as we won't have oil forever. See link.
gasoline,diesal,motor oil,karosene,butane,asphalt,tar.grease,propane and plastics(there are hundreds of types like pvc)
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
It's not that what they make plastics with.
some are
Many plastics are derived from crude oil.
All plastics are a by product of crude oil.
Yes, developing plastics from alternative sources like plant-based materials can reduce the dependence on crude oil, which is a non-renewable resource. It can also help minimize environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable approach to plastic production. Research into biodegradable plastics can further address the issue of plastic waste and pollution.

Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
Crude oil.
Yes plastics are biodegradable,but be sure to notice on the box, some companies claim their product is biodegradable but they haven't tested it for 100 years or so. Also some plastics are not biodegradable
Biodegradable plastics decay faster than non-biodegradable plastics.
Crude oil can be refined in to a multitude of chemicals: a short list would be petrol, diesel, paraffin, plastics, solvents, and so on.
