- Someone 5y agoNitpick: technically, plastics are considered organic compounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_compound#Modern_classification_and_ambiguities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_compound#Modern_classi...: “The modern meaning of organic compound is any compound that contains a significant amount of carbon—even though many of the organic compounds known today have no connection to any substance found in living organisms. The term carbogenic has been proposed by E. J. Corey as a modern alternative to organic, but this neologism remains relatively obscure.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic: “Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Plastics are also considered organic materials, like wood, paper, or wool.”
