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.
