Plastic is one of humanities great inventions. Arguably the most versatile, durable and useful material to help our lives. It can be used to make things as diverse as a keyboard, a chair or bubble wrap. Plastic has become indispensable to make syringes, test tubes or to keeping food stay fresh for longer to feed more people. But because it's cheap to make, it is used for useless wrapping and many consumer-items for convenience, not necessity.
