Organic Polymer is a naturally obtained resource that can be used as a direct substitute of Polymer for the purposes of crafting.

It can be harvested by killing Kairuku, Mantis, Hesperornis and Karkinos. It can also be acquired as a loot drop from Deathworm and Corrupted Creatures. It spoils in thirty minutes.

The Wooden Club and the Sword also increases the yield of Organic Polymer.

With the addition of the Achatina (snail) to the tamable creatures you can harvest Organic Polymer from the tamed beast along with Cementing Paste. While the Organic Polymer is left in the Achatina its spoil time is increased to 1hr 30mins. You can replace Organic Polymer into the Achatina after being removed.

Using the Industrial Grinder, grinding objects that would give polymer, give organic polymer instead.

Organic Polymer can also be used as a "suicide pill." When consumed it does 500 damage to the player, which will kill most players instantly.

It does no harm when fed to creatures.
You can put it into a Preserving Bin but it will not make the Organic Polymer last longer. You can't place it into a Refrigerator.
