No Polyethylene(one of the commonly known plastics) is created through polymerization of ethene (also known as Ethylene). Ethylene is created by steam cracking. Basically mixing really hot steam around (850 C) with ethane, LPGs or light naphthas. Some of the product of the reaction is Ethylene. Naphthas comes from the refining of crude oil and Ethane comes from natural gas.
