Everyday Chemistry, A Plastic World – Otago Museum

The one product which perhaps best illustrates the way in which chemistry has infiltrated every aspect of our modern lifestyles is plastic. Join the University of Otago’s Dr David McMorran to explore where plastic comes from and how chemistry enables us to create the plastic we want. Find out about the approaching second era of plastic, in which the key benefit of the new plastic is the exact opposite of the old.
