What this Little Book tells you
The purpose of this Little Book is to provide a holistic but condensed overview of the key aspects of plastics as they are produced, consumed and disposed of in contemporary consumer culture. We centre attention not just on the materiality of plastics but also on their meanings and how they come to be experienced and lived with in daily life.
This contribution the Lancaster Little Books series is co-authored by the Plastic Packaging in People's Lives (PPiPL) team: James Cronin, Maria Piacentini, Alex Skandalis, John Hardy, Alison Stowell, Charlotte Hadley, Savita Verma, Linda Hendry, Marta Ferri, and Matteo Saltalippi. https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/ppipl/
