Hidden plastics
Jake Stones uncovers the secret plastic in our everyday items
There’s been a great change in the relationship between humans and plastic. We’ve realised it’s toxic, and we’ve made the conscious decision that we don’t want it in our lives any more. However, as with every break-up, it’s a process – we need to remove its impact and presence from our lives, piece by piece.
I need to tell you something which may come as a shock – plastic has been hiding in a lot of unexpected, day-to-day items, unbeknownst to many of us. However, there are eye-opening and interesting alternatives to all of them, giving you more control and awareness of what you’re buying.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good cup of tea or a coffee while reading a book? Sadly, that takeaway coffee you bought earlier, or that teabag which is sat in your mug releasing your brew, both contain hidden plastics.
