Are plastic tray and melamine tray the same things?

In strict, what are the differences between plastic and melamine?

Melamine is a type of plastic.

We just say "plastic tray" without naming particular chemicals involved. :-D
 
PS

Melamine was popular in design of the 50's-60's. The brand of plastic that was used to create iconic looking furniture and stuff was Formica. You might hear things like "Formica table" if you're into retro things.
