On average, it takes about 2 kg of oil to produce 1 kg of plastic. This includes both the primary raw material (such as polyethylene) as well as the energy required for processing and manufacturing.
On average, burning 1 kg of oil can generate approximately 11.86 kWh of energy. However, the amount can vary based on the type of oil and the efficiency of the burning process.
Objects that are less dense than oil will float in oil. Examples include feathers, certain types of wood, and plastic objects like Styrofoam or plastic wrap. Metal objects and dense materials will sink in oil.
Producing one bottle of water requires about one-fourth the amount of oil needed to produce a plastic bottle. The oil is used in the production of the plastic bottle itself as well as in the transportation and energy required for the manufacturing process. Recycling plastic bottles can help reduce the amount of oil needed for new bottle production.
No, plastic is not a renewable resource. It is primarily derived from nonrenewable fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas through a chemical process. Once plastic is created and used, it cannot be easily recycled back into its original form.
Substances that float in water typically have a lower density than water. Some examples include wood, oil, plastic, and cork. These substances are able to displace enough water to generate an upward buoyant force that keeps them afloat.
@I have found that oil is used for cooking, @ and making all types of plastic including nylon and polyester! @It is used in power stations to generate electricity.

most power plants use this to create electricity and factories use oil to create materials like plastic and petrol.
In any country that has oil. Since plastic is made from oil, pretty much any country with oil can make and manufacture oil. Hope I helped. =)
The plastic disk would float on top of the water but sink below the layer of oil in the glass container. This is because the density of the plastic disk is in between that of water and oil.
The natural resources that are saved by recycling plastic would be oil and coal. This is because the oil is used to make the plastic and the coal is used by the factory.
The reason why the percentage of oil used for electricity is low is because it has many other more pressing needs (transportation, plastic), while coal and natural gas don't have as many, so it is more logical to use these instead. The use of oil for energy is a much vaster concept because oil has many uses (transportation being the main one).
A plastic always sink in oil like a plastic bottle will always float in oil.
to my fellow questionerwell considering that would be a good thing to recycle you would save about 2 gallons at the least of oil if you recycle 1 pound 1 pound plastic straws=2 gallons2 pounds plastic straws=4 pounds3 pounds plastic straw's= 6 pounds4 pounds plastic straw's= 8 poundsconsider that as a tip
No but it might smoke more
Making a paper bag uses about twice as much oil as making a plastic bag.
Recycled plastic is turned into plastic resin, which is then used to make mobile garbage bins, storm water pipes, crates and new soft drink bottles. New plastic is made from oil, and the world is running out of oil. If you fill a plastic soft drink bottle one third full of oil, that's how much oil it takes to make just one new bottle. Recycling is far more energy efficient.
