GenerationNext Virtual Event: Plastics & the Environment
IAPD GenerationNext Virtual Event: Plastics & the Environment – The Shocking Truth, presented by Chris DeArmitt

Join IAPD’s GenerationNext program and hear from IAPD Annual Convention keynote speaker, Chris DeArmitt, as he explores the facts and myths of plastics and the environment.

Plastics have been under attack for several years. We hear new stories and accusations every day, but how can we be sure whether they are true? We need sound information in order to make wise choices. Chris DeArmitt read 3000 scientific articles and life cycle analyses to fact-check what we have all been told. It is probably the only independent review of all the interrelated topics spanning material use, waste, litter, ocean plastics, degradation, microplastics, potential effects on marine wildlife and more. So, do we eat a credit card’s worth of microplastics per week? Science says no. Will there be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050? Again, science says no. It turns out that almost everything we have been told is disproven by peer-reviewed science. In this talk, you will find out the facts, who misled us and why.
