What if plastic isn't just polluting the planet ? but rewriting the rules of life itself?
From the oceans to the womb, plastic has invaded every corner of our world. We wear it, eat it, breathe it ? and now, we even bleed it. Trapped in Plastic is a searing exposé that cuts through the greenwashed marketing and corporate spin to reveal the truth: this isn't just a pollution crisis. It's a political one.
With razor-sharp storytelling, visual evidence, and hard-hitting research, this book unpacks:
- Why recycling was never meant to work ? and who knew it all along
- How petrochemical giants like ExxonMobil and Dow rewrote the rules of sustainability
- The global trade system that ships plastic waste to the Global South ? and calls it "recycling"
- The dangerous chemicals hiding in packaging, baby bottles, and food containers
- How microplastics enter your body, disrupt your hormones, and may pass to future generations
But Trapped in Plastic isn't just a warning ? it's a wake-up call.
Featuring whistleblower quotes, mock ads, vintage-style graphics, and 20 practical actions for change, this is a book for anyone tired of being told the problem is their shopping bag. It's time to name names, follow the money, and imagine a world that isn't drowning in plastic.
Because the question isn't whether we can live without plastic.
It's whether we can survive with it.
