It's A Wrap. Conversations On Plastic

Plastic wraps our food, fills our hospitals and moves with us on every journey, yet most of us barely give it a thought. Anne Hayden found that casual attitude hard to square with what she was learning during her studies, and this short book grew out of her concern. She looks at how plastic became a constant presence in modern life, from packaging to transport to healthcare, and at the cost of that convenience: pollution that keeps mounting year on year.

Written from personal conviction rather than detached expertise, it is a thoughtful starting point for anyone who has paused over the sheer amount of plastic in their bin and wondered what it adds up to.
