Described as ‘a compelling true-crime story’ by The New York Times, Plastic Inc., by award-winning journalist and author Beth Gardiner, exposes how major oil and petrochemical companies have driven the global explosion of plastic production, despite growing public concern about pollution and waste.

The book shines a light on the ways industry wields its money and muscle to block measures that could stop it selling more plastic. And it looks at the hidden health crisis created by the chemicals in plastic as well as the ways plastic is driving climate change.

Beth will be in conversation with Everyday Plastic founder Daniel Webb, to explore the hidden realities of the global plastics industry, the systems driving plastic pollution, and what meaningful change could look like. Register to join the conversation here.
