Answer to Question 1

The current price of raw materials, the cost efficiency of the processing method and the amount of plastic produced

Polymer is a very long molecule made by joining many small molecules together. All plastics are polymers, but some polymers, for instance, natural polymers such as fur and leather, are not plastics.
