Summary

This monograph will shed light on the ways that people and communities find themselves dependent upon plastics - the same materials that also harm their health and environments. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, it will illuminate the complicated everyday human interactions with plastics that are crucial to debates related to sustainable growth, the just transition, and planetary health.
