Lightness is godlike. Maybe then… Plastic is a good idea, if it could make things lighter? Note, technically carbon fiber is just plastic as well I think.

Carbon fiber is not technically a plastic, but it is often combined with plastic materials to create a composite material. Carbon fiber itself consists of thin strands of carbon atoms that are tightly bonded together in a crystal-like structure, making it incredibly strong and lightweight. However, on its own, carbon fiber is just the reinforcing material.

To form usable parts, carbon fiber is embedded in a matrix, often made from a type of plastic (such as epoxy resin), which binds the fibers together and gives the composite its shape. This combination of carbon fibers with a plastic matrix is known as carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). So, while carbon fiber itself is not plastic, it is commonly found in plastic composites.
