Plastics

We’ve found microplastics in every place imaginable, even human testicles. Scientists say a filter made of natural materials may be one of the solutions to this mess.

Flame retardants can leach out of the plastic they’re added to and are linked to a variety of health conditions, including cancer.

An ordinary plastic bottle, such as those found in any supermarket, takes up to 1,000 years to completely degrade.

In their attempt to free us from the use of plastic, paper straws have failed miserably.

Scientists say recycling the plastic bottle is best unless you find it “enjoyable” to guzzle a mixture of potentially toxic chemicals.

People overlook waste reduction and reuse in favor of recycling. They shouldn't.
