Plastic is not a natural resource; it is a synthetic material made primarily of oil.

Plastics can be made materials other than oil, such as corn starch. No need to get rid of plastics, just change the source material. This will happen as the economics make sense, the technology for alternate source materials improves, and oil gets too expensive.
