Polymers consist of massively long repeating molecule chains
Every flexible plastic object you own is secretly built from microscopic chemical spaghetti. By continuously bonding a simple molecular unit to itself thousands of times in a row, chemists create hyper-elongated chains known as polymers. These entangled, overlapping chemical threads give plastics their absurd durability, ensuring they will awkwardly persist in landfills for a terrifyingly long timeframe.
