When was plastic invented?

Plastic was invented in 1866

In 1866, John Wesley Hyatt invented the plastic "celluloid" because he knocked over the collodion and found that it would become tough and elastic after freezing.

The first synthetic plastic was made by pressing the resin in a heating mold, which was made by Belgian chemist Backlander in the United States in the early 2th century in 191.
