Know about the plastics

A lot of people came to me and told me that plastics occur naturally and I did not concur with them. I found out through books and told them that plastics are manufactured and they did not occur naturally at all. The word plastics was derived from the greek word ‘Plastikos’ which means to mould. They are made from simple organic chemicals which means that they are available in different varieties and colors as well.
