Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical issue of plastic pollution and waste management in the late 20th century, as discussed by US Congress members during a hearing in 1988. It explores the challenges posed by the burgeoning use of plastics, particularly in packaging, and the environmental consequences such as overflowing landfills, marine life endangerment, and resource depletion. The author sheds light on the complexities of addressing plastic waste, including the limitations of recycling and the potential benefits and drawbacks of degradable plastics. The book examines proposed legislative solutions, such as the Recyclable Materials Science and Technology Development Act (H.R. 5000), aimed at promoting recycling, research, and the development of degradable materials. Readers will gain valuable insights into the environmental concerns surrounding plastics and the ongoing search for sustainable solutions. This book's exploration of waste management strategies and policies serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible consumer choices and the need for continued innovation in addressing the challenges of plastic pollution.
