It is transformed into the #physical #fabric of #modern #life: #plastics, #polymers, #fertilisers, #adhesives, #solvents & #synthetic #textiles... The #chemical #industry is the upstream #engine of many modern #materials, using about 14% of global #oil #demand & 8% of global #gas demand. Much of that is used as a raw #material rather than #fuel."

TIL: CD jewel cases are made of polystyrene plastic. that's resin code #6 in the recycling symbol. unfortunately, this means they are generally not recycled.
Polystyrene is usually seen as either a hard, brittle plastic (e.g. CD jewel cases and many plastic cups and dishes and cutlery), or foam, commonly called "styrofoam" (which is actually a trademark name, but one that's basically genericized at this point).
