Plastics are made from crude oil, which is a fossil fuel, this is non-renewable and there is only a finite amount of fossils fuels on the planet. This means eventually they will run out. Some plastics are made from polymers containing chlorine which when burnt form dioxins and hydrochloric acid. Both of these are bad for the environment and organisms.
