soft plastics

Soft plastics are a category of plastic materials characterized by their flexibility, elasticity, and ability to be easily shaped or stretched. They are often made from polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC, which have long, string-like molecules that give them their soft, pliable nature. Common examples include plastic bags, food wrap, and flexible containers. These plastics are widely used because they are lightweight, durable, and easy to manufacture. However, like other plastics, they contribute to environmental pollution if not properly disposed of, as they do not biodegrade easily.
