What if the story we’ve been told about plastic is incomplete—or even backward?
In this episode, I sit down with Chris DeArmitt, an independent polymer and environmental scientist, keynote speaker, and founder of the Plastics Research Council. After reading thousands of peer-reviewed studies without funding, Chris has made it his mission to translate complex science into clear, practical guidance. Author of The Plastics Paradox and Shattering the Plastic Illusion, he challenges popular narratives around microplastics, ocean garbage patches, and eco-labels—inviting us to look at the data first and focus on actions that truly reduce environmental harm.
