Presentation (PDF): The World Hates Plastic Waste

Analytical Chemist Tim Giese works at the research facility for one of Canada’s largest producers of polyethylene resin used in the manufacture of a multitude of products in our daily lives.  As an environmentalist, Tim has a deep concern about the impact of plastic, its pervasive use, manufacture and disposal on an international level.  Yet plastics have a very real role in our lives and alternatives are expensive to produce.  Tim will explore the challenges, responsibilities and potential solutions to the use of these ubiquitous products.
