About this book

Reaching the Post-Plastic Age for True Sustainability

Plastics are made from fossil fuels, and in every step in a piece of plastic's life cycle, from creation to destruction, it negatively impacts Earth's climate. And yet, more and more plastics are being produced every day. We can no longer afford to ignore the connection between plastic and climate change.

Untangling Plastics is a comprehensive investigation of the manufacturing, use, and disposal of plastics and their impacts on the health of the environment and human beings. Author Bob Gedert pulls from current research and his forty-five-year career in the recycling industry to reveal that we cannot recycle our way out of the plastics pollution crisis. He instead offers real solutions for how we can adopt greener ways of living and phase out plastics.

Our planet has already been irreversibly damaged by the impact of plastics, and we will never successfully limit climate change if we can't untangle ourselves from the creeping web of plastics.
