Although not termed plastic and not fully synthetic, plastic was first invented by Alexander Parkes in 1856. Because he invented it, it was originally called Parkesine, which later went on to be called celluloid. The first fully synthetic version of plastic was invented by Leo Baekeland in 1907 and it was called bakelite, now a highly collectable form of plastic. Leo also came up with the word "plastics."
