Plastic is everywhere—from our oceans to our food, our bodies, and our laws. Plastic Podcast dives deep into the science behind plastic pollution, breaking down the latest research and tracing the global effort to tackle this crisis through the upcoming United Nations Treaty on Plastic Pollution. Hosted by science communicator Clark Marchese, each episode features experts from around the world—scientists, policymakers, and activists—who share groundbreaking insights and direct recommendations on what should go into this landmark treaty.
Join us as we explore the hidden complexities of plastic, from its impact on health and ecosystems to innovative solutions and Indigenous approaches to governance. We cover pressing topics like microplastics, climate change, waste economies, and environmental justice, while keeping you up-to-date on the treaty negotiations shaping the future of global plastic policy.
