I just wondered how we made these sorts of things when everything on Earth works together and naturally decomposes.

Quick and sweet, “polymerization”.
That’s like using purified chemicals mixed with purified plastics, in an extremely controlled temperature and pressure chamber that produces the desired results. Not possible without modern science. Read: “a new process”.
Counter question: how do we burn so much fossil fuel, make nuclear power plants, have animal farming on a world scale like never seen before, and *not* think the planet would get fucked?
Edit, just reread your question.
No, not everything just “works together” and “decomposes” or whatever, especially man made things that were not able to be produced even 100 years ago. That shit sticks around, because that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do. Even many natural materials don’t do that, they are remnants from supernovae from millions of years ago and just sit there waiting for someone to scoop them up. Like if you threw a (man made) gold ring somewhere, nothing would happen to it for millions of years unless someone found it.
Imagine if you were the factory owner of a water bottle company, and all of a sudden, a pallet just sort of started leaking. That’d be bad. That’s why: use hard plastics for the bottles, that specifically *will not decompose*.
I’m not saying I’m for it, just saying why.
