  skos:scopeNote "Use when a source says plastic without naming which; use a narrower term when it names one. Added on 2026-10-14 beneath Polymer. Elastomers are polymers that ISO 472 does not count as plastics, and the fibre families are polymers named by their own terms, so Rubber, Resin and the fibre families are not beneath it. A source saying only plastic does not establish a polymer family, a grade, a thermoplastic or thermosetting behaviour, or recycled content."@en .
