Best Answer

Ropes used to be made from natural fibres, such as jute, flax, cotton. These have been largely been replaced by products engineered from plastics.

Toys used to be made from wood, metal, cloth materials and ceramics. Plastics have made great inroads into this market.

Clothing used to be limited to natural products such as leather, cotton, and wool. These still have their place, particularly leather, but plastic sources now satisfy many needs.

Packaging has many materials added to the packers retinue - bubble wrap, cellulose and other adhesive tapes, and new materials such as the 'twinwall' card materials.
