Have you ever considered what an extraordinary invention plastic is? The word plastic means mouldable and therein lies its ingenuity, it can be moulded into every conceivable size shape and colour. It can be thick or thin, large or small, strong or delicate.   Plastic is complicated: it has life saving medical uses but is life threatening to the natural world. Almost every piece of plastic ever made still exists today. Listen and explore how in just 150 years this synthetic material has got into every corner of our lives.  Narrated by Henrietta McMicking  Sound editing by Max Watson  Script by Henrietta McMicking  Produced by Camilla Akers-Douglas and Henrietta McMicking  Theme music by James Burrell Music  Instagram @wonderpodcasts Twitter  @wonder_podcast Facebook  @wonderpodcasts To contact us, email [email protected] or [email protected]
