Plastics today are used in various industries to produce lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable materials. Unfortunately, the characteristics that make plastics valuable materials also make them environmentally unfriendly; no plastic that is commonly used today is biodegradable. Furthermore, few plastics are recycled; most are landfilled or discarded into the environment. Given the urgent need to reimagine plastics and waste management practices, this workshop will focus on better connecting the product design with end-of-use stages of the plastics life cycle.
