The Plastic Problem: The Material We Love to Hate
Diego Alzate-Sanchez, a Northeastern University chemist working on polymer sustainability and a former volcanologist, traces plastic from wonder material to waste problem: why the chasing-arrows symbol does not guarantee a product is recyclable, how “biodegradable” differs from “compostable,” what happens after the recycling bin, and how new polymers are designed to break down on demand. A bar lecture with audience Q&A; 21 and over.
