Plastic has a wider variety of behavior than most chemicals

"A unique feature of plastic debris, however, is its combination of high persistence, low density, and extremely wide size distribution, ranging from the nanometer to the >cm scale. This causes the system behavior of plastic debris to show a far wider variety than most other materials or chemicals." - Excerpt from Freshwater Microplastics.
