Plastic not so fantastic

Plastic is a really useful material – it can be moulded into lots of different shapes, it’s waterproof and durable. Plastic might look like a wonder material, but there is a problem.

How many plastic items do you throw away every day? From crisp packets to drink bottles; takeaway cartons to bags, many of the things we use are made from plastic.
