Explanation
Plastic is a material that can be shaped into many forms. It is usually light, strong, and does not break easily. Many everyday objects like bottles, bags, containers, toys, and even some furniture are made of plastic. It can be soft or hard, flexible or stiff, and is often used because it is cheap and lasts a long time. However, plastic can harm the environment if it is not recycled or thrown away properly.
