"plastic" is a bad word for your question. 
Everything is plastic if you squeeze it hard enough. 
You probably may have meant "polymer".

If that is the case then the most abundant (plastic) polymer 
is "cellulose" from grass on up to the trees, the latter of which
had to wait for evolution to concoct Lignin to bind and stiffen
the cellulose strands.

The single (monomer) unit of cellulose is the Glucose molecule,
(grape sugar), and another isomer of it is its life sustaining form
in your blood.  Link 2 of these gluco-units and you'll  get Table
sugar or Honey...Repeat that chain linking and you'll get starches.. 
and when going on you'll get cellulose.

In the 'mobile world the most abundant polymers are Keratin 
of the Skin, hairs and feathers with Sulfur being the limiting 
factor, or Chitosan etc for the exo-skeletons of insects, 
crustaceans and marine animals. Its monomer, the Glucosamine
is closely related to the cellulose's building block the Glucose,
where one of the OH Groups is substituted for an Amino group.

To find the most abundant *synthetic* plastic on earth you get 
easily regional or national production data, since that is paid for.
But to get a global data set will have to shell out $50 for a "report".
OTOH you get all kind of Green Shit on Plastics, of how bad
and dangerous they are, which the Green Turds stick up you your
ass whether you like it or not... 
Eliminate the Greens and the world will be a Greener Place!

Well that is all good and right, but here is some useful factoid.
Keep those Styrofoam sheets & blocks that come in packages
as spacers and shock absorbers. 
They makes a superb glue, cheap. 
Take some of the solvents that you have at hand, like IPA, 
Paint stripper, Nail polish remover. Turpentine, Acetone, MEK,
etc and check which one "eats" fast into the Styro foam
Then put as much of the chosen solvent into a glass jar and 
stick Styrofoam pieces into it... which will dissolve very fast. 
Stir and repeat till you have the right viscosity. ... 
... and there you have you glue/adhesive...  for free and faster
than a trip to the store.
