AI overview
Polyester is a type of plastic made from long chains of molecules linked together by chemical bonds called esters, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being the most common form. It matters because synthetic polyesters are widely used in clothing and other products, though most don't break down naturally in the environment, unlike some naturally occurring polyesters.
