Plastic has become an essential feature of human life. From the bottles we use to the clothing we wear — plastic is everywhere.

 

Since plastic was first introduced in the 1950s, over eight billion metric tons has been produced. With this rate of production, it is almost inevitable that plastic pollution has also become a massive global health concern.

 

Improper disposal of plastics and the creation of plastic waste during manufacturing has led to plastics of all shapes and sizes clogging our waterways and polluting the earth.
