Polyethylene is useful because it is a versatile and affordable plastic that is chemically inert, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as packaging, construction materials, and medical devices. It is lightweight, durable, and can be easily molded into various shapes, making it popular in industries where these qualities are important.

Polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene and it has carbon and hydrogen atoms.
Polyethene is created through the polymerization of ethene. Under the right conditions of temperature, pressure and catalysis, the double bond of the ethene monomer opens up and many monomers link up to form long chains. Polyethene manufacturing processes are usually categorized into "high pressure" and "low pressure" operations. The former is generally recognized as producing conventional low density polyethene (LDPE) while the latter makes high density (HDPE) polyethene. The difference between these polyethene processes is that LDPE is formed at 1000 - 3000 bar and 80 - 300 degrees C in the presence of minute quantities of oxygen, and HDPE is formed at 10 - 80 bar and 70 - 300 degrees C in the presence of an aluminium-based catalyst.
Poly(methylene) is the IUPAC name of polyethene. But IUPAC also suggest polyethene to be a correct usage.
by moulding it to another useful shape. or dump it to land fill.
Polyethene can be used to make carry bags. Many apparel stores pack the newly bought items in Polyethene bags for the customers to transport them easily.

Polyethene seems to be a variant spelling of polyethylene, or polythene. I have include the Wikipedia link.

double bonds
Polyethene is flexible due to the two covalent bonds between its carbon atoms. These double bonds allow it to be flexible.
