More About Polymer
Polymers have been around for a long time. They were first made by people in the 1800s. Now, we have many types of polymers. Some are made from oil, and some are from plants.
We see polymers every day. They are in our toys, bags, and even in our food. They help keep our food fresh and safe.
In the future, we may find new ways to use polymers. They might help us make better things that are good for the Earth!
