Plastic

Brief

Everywhere you look, there’s plastic. Super useful and adaptable, it’s transformed our world, but now seems like it’s getting into more places than we’d really appreciated, or would like it to, and production is still rising. Our food and products come wrapped in it, our kids play with it, our cars and buildings are full of it, and annually, globally, about 50kg of plastic is produced per person. You may have some compelling images of plastic objects in your archive, but you may also want to pick up your (part-plastic) camera, start looking around and be reminded just how surrounded by the stuff we are.
