And actually, I was mistaken as to the source of this particular piece of plastic. I did some investigation into this photo and apparently, it was an intentional test on the ISS using a light-gas gun in close quarters to show how much damage even a tiny amount of space debris can do. It used a small, 1g piece of plastic the size of a pencil eraser against the block of solid aluminum.
