Reinventing Plastics

Issue 19 (2019)
Ocean plastics
9 billion tons of plastic accumulated since 1950,
only 9% of plastic is recycled,
150 million tonnes of plastic waste in the oceans,
100% of the Mediterranean Sea polluted by plastics...

Once perceived as a symbol of modernity, plastics have been the subject of a rapid and profound global challenge in recent years, particularly because of ocean pollution.
