So what is plastic made of? Ever wondered? You may think it's just petrochemicals or too complicated to sum up in a visual representation. Well, we here at Container and Packaging are excited to present to you our latest infographic: what's in my plastic? We want to take the mystery out of the chemical bonds that make that water-bottle you are holding or the polyester leisure suit that we know is still in your closet. So go ahead, take a look at what's in your polymer. It may surprise you. It may not. But either way our hope is you'll come away with a better understanding of how plastic does what it does.
