Difficult to answer because of the blanket use of the word "plastic",

Explanation:

There are thousands of different types of synthetic polymers produced around the world which could be called "plastics".

It's a bit like saying "can someone give me the recipe for food?".

Which ones were you specifically thinking about? Polyolefins? Polyesters? Polycarbonates? Fluoropolymers? Random copolymers? Block copolymers? Synthetic rubbers? Polyurethanes? Polyacrylates?
