+  // PLASTIC IS A BROAD TERM FOR A SOURCE THAT SAYS "PLASTIC" AND NO MORE (TAX-60). Material Bank's
+  // material tag Plastic sits on 5,467 catalogue rows and descriptions say "plastic bottles".
+  // ISO 472:2013 defines a plastic as a material with a high polymer as an essential ingredient
+  // that can be shaped by flow at some stage of processing, and notes that elastomers are not
+  // plastics. A polymer is the wider class, so `plastic` sits beneath `polymer`.
+  //
+  // WHICH CHILDREN OF `polymer` MOVE BENEATH IT. A term moves only when every instance of it is a
+  // plastic, because a parent must hold every instance of its children (ADR 0001). Four move:
+  // `abs`, `polycarbonate`, `polyvinyl-chloride` and `polystyrene` are each defined as a
+  // thermoplastic polymer (PVC is also made as a fibre, chlorofibre, but no term here defines it so;
+  // add one and PVC fails this test). Every other direct child of `polymer` stays where it is:
+  //   - `rubber` (and `latex`, `natural-rubber`) are elastomers, which ISO 472 excludes.
+  //   - `acrylic`, `polyolefin`, `polyamide`, `polyester` and `polyurethane` are families that
+  //     also cover fibres (acrylic, olefin, nylon, polyester and elastane fibre; ISO 2076), and a
+  //     term has one broader edge, so they cannot sit beneath both. Their plastic members (PMMA,
+  //     polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, PBT) stay beneath the family, and TPU, an elastomer,
+  //     is not a plastic by ISO 472.
+  //   - `resin` is defined against bulk engineering plastic: it is a binder, coating or cast solid.
+  //   - `eva` ranges from a flexible thermoplastic to a rubber-like material, `ptfe` is also a
+  //     fibre (fluorofibre) and `silicone` covers elastomers and fluids, so none is only plastic.
+  //   - The man-made cellulosics are defined as a fibre family.
+  // A search for `plastic` therefore reaches ABS, polycarbonate, PVC and polystyrene, and a source
+  // that names a family or grade keeps the narrower term. This is not a claim that the stayers are
+  // not plastics in some products; it records that the term would be false for some of its
+  // instances.
