Some polymers are plastics, so anything that is made of plastic would apply here. An example is a plastic pop bottle, which is made from polyethylene terephthalate.
Wood contains the natural polymers lignin and cellulose.
Acrylic latex paints contain acrylic polymers.
Paints also contain polymeric dispersants, which help the pigments in the paints behave nicely.
Polymers are added to polluted water to help clean it up. Methyl cellulose polymers are added to various water-based items, like shampoo, to make them thicker.
Polymers are in inks, too.
