Here is a place where that question was answered.  It doesn't say where
the data came from.

i was reading about the history of plastics tonight.  i was trying to
figure out what percentage of our petro intake goes to nonfuel
applications, and rather to chemical, fertilizer, food, and synthetic
material ends.  still can't find a good number.  but learned a lot
about plastics.
