Plastik is a synthetic material made from polymers, which are long chains of molecules. It is created through a process called polymerization, where small molecules called monomers are chemically bonded together. Plastik is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, making it a popular choice for a wide range of products, from packaging to household items. There are many types of plastik, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), each with unique properties and uses. While plastik has many benefits, it also poses environmental challenges, as it can take hundreds of years to decompose and often contributes to pollution in oceans and landfills.
