The Plastics Paradox

A leading scientist reveals the facts about plastics and the environment. Shockingly, it turns out that almost everything we have been told is untrue. After reviewing over 400 lifecycle analysis reports and peer-reviewed articles, a new picture emerges.Firstly, plastics are proven to be the greenest alternative, in most cases. We also find that far from creating a waste problem, plastics have substantially reduced the amount of waste we generate. Litter is indeed an issue to contend with, but one created by human behaviour and solved through addressing that behaviour. We are told that plastics take a thousand years to degrade but experiments show that a plastic grocery bag degrades to nothing in under one year outdoors.How did we become so misled? The book explains who has deceived us and why we have fallen for their false narrative. After reading this book you will be armed with the facts and the tools you need to make wise decisions for a brighter future, for us, for our children and our children's children.
