In this educational factsheet, we explore plastic waste. Stop whatever you were doing and have a look around. Count the number of things you can see that are made of plastic or that have plastic in them. Did you check your shoes? What about your clothes? Many fabric types have plastic in them (we’re looking at you, polyester).
