When plastics are still flexible, they may be moulded and then hardened to maintain their shape. The primary natural resources utilised to create plastics today are cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, and crude oil. Plastics are created from a variety of basic ingredients before being processed into ethane and propane. Then heat is used to break down ethane and propane into ethylene and propylene, respectively, in a process known as "cracking." Since plastics are polymers, they are made by connecting together chains of molecules (referred to as monomers) to make a bigger molecule than they were initially (a polymer). An illustration of such a material is polystyrene. Polymers are strong and durable.
