For the first time, we dive deeper into the topic of "plastics". We are looking at the history of plastics and if the so called “plastic pollution crisis” is real. So, what impact does the plastic pollution crisis have on us humans and the planet?

Once we have looked at some facts in this regard, I have the pleasure of talking to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Roland Pomberger from the University of Leoben. He will give us his expert opinion concerning the so called “plastic pollution crisis”.
