But the companies making it – oil and petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and INEOS – are hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. In a shocking investigative deep dive, packed with character-driven storytelling, award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner will talk to us about her new book, Plastic Inc, which exposes the truth of the vast, rapacious industry flooding our world with plastic – and now preparing to make more than ever.From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the narrow streets of Antwerp and the glitz and bling of Dubai, Gardiner will give us an up-close look at the plastic industry’s relentless growth, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution, and its hidden role in exacerbating climate change.We will be joined by , who will be selling copies of the book, plus other books.This event is held downstairs at Sheffield Plate.
