International audience. Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine, electronics, aerospace, construction, food packaging, and sports. It is now clear, however, that plastics are also responsible for significant harms to human health, the economy, and the earth's environment. These harms occur at every stage of the plastic life cycle, from extraction of the coal, oil, and gas that are its main feedstocks through to ultimate disposal into the environment. The extent of these harms not been systematically assessed, their magnitude not fully quantified, and their economic costs not comprehensively counted. . Les plastiques ont apporté de grands avantages à l'humanité et ont rendu possible certaines des avancées les plus significatives de la civilisation moderne dans des domaines aussi divers que la médecine, l'électronique, l'aérospatiale, la construction, l'emballage alimentaire et le sport. Cependant, il est désormais clair que les plastiques sont également responsables de dommages importants pour la santé humaine, l'économie et l'environnement de la planète. Ces dommages surviennent à chaque étape du cycle de vie du plastique, depuis l'extraction du charbon, du pétrole et du gaz qui constituent ses principales matières premières jusqu'à son élimination finale dans l'environnement. L'étendue de ces dommages n'a pas été systématiquement évaluée, leur ampleur n'a pas été entièrement quantifiée et leurs coûts économiques n'ont pas été comptabilisés de manière exhaustive.Traduit avec www.DeepL.com/Translator (version gratuite)
