Building on the internationally acclaimed book, The Plastics Paradox, this sequel sheds new light on the controversial subject of plastics and their influence on the environment. Now 5 years on from that first book, Dr. DeArmitt has now read over 5000 studies without funding or external influence to become regarded as the leading independent expert on the holistic effects of plastic including:

Materials use
Waste generation
Litter creation and prevention
Ocean gyres and the myth of the floating island of plastic
Degradation and biodegradation of plastics
Microplastics - exposure, safety and risk assessment (over 500 studies reviewed)
Life cycle analysis (LCA) - do alternatives increase or decrease impact?
Plastic recycling - does is work and does it help?
Misinformation - who misled us and why they did it

Based on the keynote talks that have stunned, and delighted audiences around the world, this new book covers all of these topics and answers your questions with solid evidence. This is the only place to find the peer-reviewed science from the year 1844 right up to the present day distilled down in a way accessible to the public, policy makers and scientists alike.

If you would rather be informed than afraid, then please take the time to see the truth, so that we can create a better future for the generations to follow. People acting on misinformation from the media are making matters worse but together we can turn this ship around.
