Today there are more than 50 kinds ofplastic and in the past 100 years its inventionhas changed the world as we know it. Tests have also confirmed liver and cell damage and disruptions to reproductive systems, prompting some species, such as oysters, to produce fewer eggs. New research shows that larval fish are eating nanofibers in the first days of life, raising new questions about the effects of plastics on fish populations. Stemming the plastic tide This measure is not expected to have any significant economic impacts. Impact on individuals, households and families This hard and rigid plastic is resistant to chemicals and weathering, making it desired for building and construction applications; while the fact that it doesn’t conduct electricity makes it common for high-tech applications, such as wires and cable. It’s also widely used in medical applications because it’s impermeable to germs, is easily disinfected and provides single-use applications that reduce infections in healthcare. On the flip side, we must note that PVC is the most dangerous plastic to human health, known to leach dangerous toxins throughout its entire lifecycle (eg: lead, dioxins, vinyl chloride). Many chemists continued Leo’s work,and soon other types of plastics withdifferent properties were developed, such ascellophane in 1912 and nylon in 1935. It’s everywhere!

Lightweight, strong and easy to create, ithas been used in endless ways. And becauseit’s so cheap to make and buy, it has replacedother more expensive natural materials, such aswood, metals, silks and animal skin. But thereIS a downside to this super useful material… Plastic problems Lycra, tights, teabags, sellotape, super glue, nappies, acrylic paint, glasses and glitter are just some of the products that contain forms of plastic. Who knew?!

Plastic has been all over the news lately because of the ways it can damage our planet – but how much do you REALLY know about it?

Recycling of plastic is very important. If they are not recycled at the proper time, then they get mixed with other chemicals or materials and hence become more difficult to recycle and become a source of pollution. A whale shark swims beside a plastic bag in the Gulf of Aden near Yemen. Although whale sharks are the biggest fish in the sea, they're still threatened by ingesting small bits of plastic.

Peschak, Nat Geo Image Collection Plastics by the numbers However, it’s understandable that many people make the assumption that it’s one material, all the same from top to bottom. In fact, there are hundreds of types of plastic (also called polymers), but only a handful that we interact with on a regular basis.
