Plastics can be recycled over and over, whether they are made from crude fossil fuel oil, or renewable vegetable oil. So in this sense they are sustainable. The earth has a limited supply of crude oil, but when that runs out there will still be some fossil fuel plastics to be recycled.
Most are- but bioplastics exist. Very interesting development as we won't have oil forever. See link.
gasoline,diesal,motor oil,karosene,butane,asphalt,tar.grease,propane and plastics(there are hundreds of types like pvc)
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
the constituents of crude oil are FEUL OIL,LPG, NAPHTHA,GASOLNE ETC
It's not that what they make plastics with.
some are
Many plastics are derived from crude oil.
All plastics are a by product of crude oil.
Yes, developing plastics from alternative sources like plant-based materials can reduce the dependence on crude oil, which is a non-renewable resource. It can also help minimize environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more sustainable approach to plastic production. Research into biodegradable plastics can further address the issue of plastic waste and pollution.

Yes plastics are biodegradable,but be sure to notice on the box, some companies claim their product is biodegradable but they haven't tested it for 100 years or so. Also some plastics are not biodegradable
Either Hydrocarbons, monomers,plastics or polymers
Crude oil.
Biodegradable plastics decay faster than non-biodegradable plastics.
- Some plastics made from starch are biodegradable- Another bio-oxodegradable plastics contain a catalyst ( as iron oxide) which improve the degradation in contact with oxygen.Generally biodegradable plastics are as foils not containers.
