Abstract

Synthetic plastics have been around since the early 20th century. However, our present century has seen a new scrutiny of synthetic plastic products and byproducts as scientists begin to study their negative effects on human health and the environment. Now a host of sobering scientific discoveries regarding the production, use, and disposal of plastics is popping up in the media,and growing fears have prompted inquiries into safer, natural, eco-friendly and renewable alternatives to conventional plastics.
