Are Car Tires Really Plastic

For those of you who are new to plastic, there has been some definite confusion about what actually falls under the category of plastic.  There are actually hundreds of products that can be classified as at least a form or version of plastic, or sometimes known as polymers.  The rubber on your car tires are a form of plastic, silicone caulking is a version of plastic, thin film products such as vinyl shower curtains, adhesives like super glue & duct tape also fall under the category.  Foam products such as open cell sponges, and closed cell foam products like croc shoes are also a version of plastic.  There are literally thousands of materials and products you use every day that classify as a plastic in some form, so remember, just because it’s not a hard plastic product like a Trash Can doesn’t mean that plastic isn’t used isn’t used in your product in some way!
