Well, thanks to the internet, there’s no shortage of “information”… But how do you find the high quality scientific evidence among the made-up drivel?

Plastics and the circular economy
Our relationship with plastic needs rethinking. Plastics are versatile materials, but the way we use them is incredibly wasteful.
