bear in mind i can make my own chemicals and oil
so how?

Well, the only thing you can do about is build research centers so you could research your oil, chemicals and plastic. 
Or you could just buy them from someone or from the market. If you buy high quality chemicals and oil, then you can start making q4 plastic faster, because you don't have to research your plastic so high.

Interesting question. Well, lets reason that out:
Plastic has 4 inputs: Power, Oil, Chemicals, and Plastic Tech. That means you need a total of 16 input points. And power is always q0.
You didn't say if you're mining your own minerals or not, but I'll assume you are. If not, you'll have to buy higher quality or research Chemicals to 6 instead. I'm also assuming you're willing to build both a Chemical RC and a Well & Mine RC, do so in a Red zone, and expand them to 4 employees.
Given those assumptions, here's a reasonably quick plan:
Given the assumptions above, this will take and cost:
Well & Mine RC
Build: 10 hours + 234,000 (plus materials)
Oil -> q8: 11 days, 2 hours + 64,800
Minerals -> q6: 3 days, 21 hours, 22,050
Total: 15 days, 9 hours + 320,860
Chemical RC
Build: 10 hours + 234,000 (plus materials)
Chemicals -> q4: 23 hours + 5000
Plastic -> 10: 25 days, 13 hours 151,250
Total: 24 days, 12 hours + 390,250
Total: 24 days, 12 hours + 711110
Now if money is no object you could spend an extra 150,000 (plus materials) each building to get each RC up to 8 and shave off a few days, but it's getting more and more expensive.
If you have the cash, what you should also consider is browing the Research Trade forum or talking to some of the Manager level players and seeing if you can buy some of this tech directly. It will cost you but you could be making q4 plastic instantly if they have what you want.

Given those assumptions, here's a reasonably quick plan:
- At the Well & Mine RC, research Oil up to 8. Averaged with q0 power, this will provide q4 oil.
- At the Well & Mine RC, research Minerals up to 6. They will be produced q2.
- At the Chemical RC, research Chemicals to 4. With the q2 minerals (and q0 power) they will come out q2.
- At the Chemical RC, research Plastic to 10.
