The world is in a struggle with plastic. It can't seem to do without it and definitely can't live with it. It litters the landscape, cloaks the drains and gutters and fills the canals, rivers and oceans. The UN says 'the world is choking on plastic' and National Geographic says 'the world is drowning in plastic'.
Plastic is in almost everything. It is nearly everywhere. It is the true definition of ubiquitous. Experts concede that plastic waste is one of the major challenges to the environment and human existence. Indeed, plastics hold the world in a vice-like grip. It is impossible to escape plastic. Plastic waste is a plague.
