Abstract

Plastic has become a ubiquitous product over the last few decades and in many industries, and it also has become an essential part of domestic life. There are so many uses for it that are beneficial. Nevertheless, public perception has changed recently, and views have become polarized, so plastic has had a bad press recently after many years of being considered as beneficial. The corporate social responsibility impact of plastic is potentially significant and is thoroughly discussed. Moreover, the polarization into good and bad is considered in this chapter alongside the benefits of plastic, the problems with its use, alternatives available, and possible solutions. We finish with a prognosis for plastic in the future.
