% of petroleum in plastics
Name:
Tian Tian Hi,
I was wondering if you can tell me how much petroleum would go into making a unit of plastic. I assume that different types of plastic would have different % of petroleum as component. Can you please give me as much detail as possible?
Thank you!

Hi Tian.
It's not the answer to what you asked for, but might be useful: about 4-6% of petroleum in the world is used in making plastics.
If you could be more specific on why you want to know it, perhaps more people can assist.
Kind regards.
