Plastic bags mostly consist of polyethylene, which, similarly to glass, is
an amorphous solid (from the Greek a, without, morphé, shape, form).
Both polyethylene and glass do not have a specific melting point, instead they
soften gradually with the rising temperature. In Patchwork, this characteristic
of polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer, has been utilized when the pieces of
plastic bags have been ironed together.
