The invention relates to a polymer having antibacterial activity. The polymer is prepared by the following steps: adding zinc salts (pyrrolidone-zinc carboxylate (ZnPCA), zinc oxide, zinc hydroxide, zinc pyrrolidone, zinc pyrithione, etc.) into plastic monomers such as polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, polystyrene, and the like, and then carrying out polymerization reactions to synthesize the antibacterial polymer. The antibacterial polymer can be used to produce products that can contact with the skin.
