Why do we fixate on plastic as the main waste issue of our time? Is all plastic bad? Have we got Bags For Life and paper straws totally wrong?
Anna Ploszajski - materials scientist and storyteller - assembles her first edition of Create The Future with:
Dr Alicia Chrysostomou, polymer consultant and author of Plastics: Just A Load Of Rubbish?
Dr Kat Knauer, polymer scientist and CTO of the BOTTLE Consortium, who are focused on developing new chemical upcycling strategies for today's plastics and redesigning tomorrow's plastics to be recyclable-by-design.
New episodes - conversations about how to rebuild the world better - every other Friday.
