Abstract
Plastic is the signature material of our age. In the 75 years since large-scale production began
in the aftermath of World War II, plastic has transformed our world, supported many of the
most significant advances of modern civilization, and enabled breakthroughs in virtually every
field of human endeavor. But plastic also poses great and growing dangers to human health
and the environment, harms that fall disproportionately on the world’s poorest and most
vulnerable populations. The extent and magnitude of these dangers are only beginning to be
understood.
