Answer
Greetings,
There is no need to immerse utensils made of plastic.
Sources: This is brought in the name of the Chazon Ish, zt"l, in the book Dinim VeHanagot (Part Yoreh De'ah, Chapter 1, Section 22). It is also affirmed in Responsa Yabia Omer, Part 4 (Yoreh De'ah, Section 8) and Part 10 (Yoreh De'ah, Section 10) and in Responsa Yechave Da'at, Part 3 (Section 60).
Best regards,
Hillel Meires
