Plastic Paradox
August 19 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Plastic provides a real paradox in the world of material science. It is incredibly strong, but without the mass that similar strength materials usually possess. In addition, it is very moldable and can be contorted into a myriad of commonplace, super-utilitarian items. The versatility and durability of plastic allow it to be used in place of a myriad of natural materials, but these same features make it an environmental bane. This webinar will explore this paradox and what it means for waters.
