4. Where Next? Can design break the plastic taboo?
Description
To kick off season two of Where Next? Conversations with Map Project Office, host Oli Stratford is joined by Rosalie McMillan, Peter Griffith, Seetal Solanki and Richard Stevens to unpick the complexities, biases and attitudes surrounding the use of plastics. While our heavy reliance on plastic, especially single-use plastic, is an undeniable problem for the planet, is the material currently being dismissed too quickly in critical discourse? For a material that has been variously vaunted and vilified, is it time we began building a healthier, more honest relationship with the plastic resources surrounding us? The panel explore what might need to change for industry and consumers to reassess the value of plastic, and in turn, use it more carefully and appropriately.
