Abstract

Plastics are everywhere - from packaging to clothing to electronics. But, 75% of all plastic ever made has ended up as waste, mostly in landfills or the ocean. Only 10% is actually recycled. And if we don’t change things, plastic production is set to double by 2050. That’s not just bad for the planet - it’s a health and climate issue too.
