From Aperture: The Universe and Human Condition · 14:24
Show by Aperture: The Universe and Human Condition
Is plastic itself the problem, or is it how we use and dispose of it? Explore the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Captain Charles Moore’s discovery, and the realities behind the images and claims that helped make plastic public enemy number one. From pollution and wildlife concerns to the complexity of recycling, this episode examines plastic’s environmental impact alongside its essential uses—and the potential consequences of eliminating it entirely. Discover how Aduro Clean Technologies’ hydrochemolytic technology aims to address plastic waste, and why improving how we manage plastic may matter more than simply getting rid of it.
