The word plastic derives from the Ancient Greek πλαστικός (plastikos), meaning "capable of being shaped or molded," which itself comes from πλαστός (plastos), meaning "molded" or "formed " [10] In modern usage, the word plastic most commonly refers to the solid synthetic products of petrochemical-derived manufacturing [11]The word plasticity, as a noun, specifically refers to

Plastic, polymeric material that has the capability of being molded or shaped This property of plasticity, often found in combination with other special properties such as low density, low electrical conductivity, transparency, and toughness, allows plastics to be made into a great variety of products
- Everything you need to know about plastic pollution
To effectively tackle the plastic pollution crisis, systemic change is needed This means, moving away from the current linear plastic economy, which centres on producing, using and discarding the material, to a circular plastic economy, where the plastic that is produced is kept in the economy at its highest value for as long as possible

The plastic grains (light blue) are passed over an auger (Archimedes screw) and heated to make molten plastic, which can then be squirted through a needle (injected) into a mold 2) Blow molding is similar, but air (yellow arrow) is blown into the plastic afterward to make it expand and fill the mold
