I have had cats all my life and my male "Grover" that I've had a little over a year is the same as your cat. He doesn't eat, but instead, chews plastic. We have a very dinky bathroom with no storage so unless guests are coming over, the four pack of toilet paper sits on the floor. Grover constantly gnaws on the bag as if it was candy. He does the same with grocery bags or any type of plastic baggage type material that happens to be one the floor. At first this behavior freaked me out thinking he was going to choke or suffocate, until I realized that he doesn't eat the plastic, just chews on it.
The only time I spazzed was when he was chewing on a rubber band that had fallen on the floor and could easily have choked him. I got it away quickly. It is indeed an odd thing for cats to do and I have no idea what explains this behavior. I thought Grover was just the weirdest cat on Earth.
