Plastic was made in factories, some of them being Auto Plastics, which specialised in automotive plastics, (TV: Spearhead from Space) and Farrel Plastics, which created everyday plastic. (TV: Terror of the Autons)
According to an online article in 2005, Dr Rhenborg was known for his "living plastic creations". (TV: Rose)
