Plastics are used in every corner of society, from food containers to toys, plastic wrap to automobile parts, and thousands of other products. Plastics come in countless forms and offer huge conveniences, safety, and durability, depending on their use. However, plastics dumped into the ocean or landfills inevitably degrade into minute particles that work their way up the food chain and enter our bodies. There, microplastics may be disrupting hormonal systems, causing cancer, or other health problems. The question is whether individuals and manufacturers can reduce their use of plastic, and whether scientists and engineers can devise replacements that are multi-functional but degrade safely. Those, clearly, will be challenges for the rest of the 21st century. (UN Environment Programme; 2019; 1’56”)
