Its guiding question concerns the production, consumption, use, and disposal of plastic products, and how our cultural practice of relying on plastic products can (if it can) fit our needs for a sustainable economy and world. It discusses all possible footprints of plastics use, not just focusing on greenhouse gas production, but also on toxicity and human health, societal standards, and effects on ecosystems"-- Provided by publisher Plastics Biodegradable plastics Biopolymers Plastics Toxicology Sustainable engineering 0 0 0 0 10000 10000 2019-09-04 291.17 0 TP1120 .T65 2012 0000066571 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 291.17 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 62340 62346 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5000*5050*5200*6500*6501*6502*6503*6504*9992
