Plastic bottles are crushed down into small pieces and then used in things like the surface of a road.

In our community, the plastics are melted down and turned into park benches and picnic tables.

ya plastics are non-biodegradable.
but one of the way in which they use the plastic is by melting it and adding it molten asphalt which is then used to build roads

A lot of them are shredded to make new fibres for artificial textiles.
One that springs to mind is the manufacture of Fleece type jackets.
