Sort of. Polymer, actually. It’s a common end-run around calling something “plastic” outright because that in and of itself is typically a shorthand for “cheap” or “flimsy.”
Anyway, the plastic cutting boards in commercial use (i.e. the ones I use because I am that kind of nerd) are made of high density polyethylene.

Wood for most stuff, plastic for meat and fish because I don’t want meat juice soaking into the wood.

Apparently, surprisingly, bacteria grow/anchor better in plastic. than wood. (wood might still absorb the juices more easily)
