Plastic Modern Material

The book critically assesses the environmental impacts of plastic waste, revealing alarming data on its effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and even human health. Did you know that plastics accumulate in ocean gyres, forming massive floating garbage patches? Or that microplastics are now found in everything from seafood to drinking water?

Plastic: Modern Material adopts a holistic approach, blending historical analysis with scientific rigor and policy recommendations. Structured in three parts, the book first covers the history of plastics, then delves into environmental impacts, and finally examines socio-economic aspects of plastic dependency, offering solutions for a more sustainable future.
