Plastic has become a ubiquitous part of modern life. A cheap,
lightweight material, it is used in everything from food packaging
to consumer electronics and microbeads in cosmetic products.
However, we are becoming increasingly aware of the problems our
reliance on plastic is causing in the environment. For example,
recent campaigns have highlighted the build-up of microbeads in the
marine environment and the damage this is doing to wildlife, and
the problem of marine litter, often in very remote locations. There
are also concerns over exposure to plasticisers and their possible
consequences for health. The plastics industry is under increasing
pressure, not only from the government and environmental groups,
but also from consumers, to improve the environmental impact of
their products. This book presents an introduction to the uses of
plastics and an overview of how they interact with the environment.
It is a valuable resource for students studying environmental
science as well as researchers working in the plastics industry,
and policy makers and regulators concerned with waste disposal and
environmental planning and conservation.
