A comprehensive discussion on the complex role of plastics in
society-nature relationships. The anthology Living in the Plastic
Age focuses on the multidimensional facets of plastics and
microplastics from different disciplinary angles. Small plastic
fragments (microplastics) and larger plastic waste can be found
even on the remotest island. Plastic waste all over the planet is
the visual footprint of humanity’s consumerism and mass
production. Plastics shape the relationship between society and
nature in such a profound way that we can today speak of the
“Plastic Age.” This anthology aims to question the role of
plastics in our society and the implications plastics have for the
environment and human health. The detection of this emergent
contaminant opens up a new field of scientific engagement for
natural sciences on the effects of (micro-) plastics for the
environment and the social sciences on new governance regimes on
marine litter as well as on solution strategies to combat plastic
waste.
