How is plastic made?

Coal and natural gas are chemically broken down into small compounds that combine to form plastic.

Oil and natural gas are broken down from long chains into the smaller compounds we call plastic.

All of the above statements are correct. Plastic is made through a process called polymerization, where small molecules known as monomers are chemically bonded together to form long chains called polymers. These monomers can be derived from various sources such as coal, natural gas, and oil.
