Best Answer

Carbon and hydrogen. Many kinds of plastics, such as pure natural rubber (polyisoprene), polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, etc., are composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen. Plastics are essentially long chains of carbon and hydrogen with other elements on occasion -- e.g. chlorine in polyvinyl chloride, nitrogen and oxygen in nylon, fluorine in Teflon, etc.
