About this book

Español

Plástico: Pasado, presente y futuro

El mundo consume más de 300 millones de toneladas de plástico cada año. ¿Cuándo empezamos a usarlo y por qué? ¿Dónde acaban todos los residuos? A partir del naufragio real de 1992 que envió miles de juguetes de baño de plástico a la deriva por el océano —sin desintegrarse—, este libro sumerge a los lectores en el origen, fabricación y usos del plástico. Presenta de forma objetiva sus aportaciones a la medicina y la industria, junto a su creciente impacto ambiental, animando a los niños a reutilizar, reciclar y tomar decisiones responsables para su futuro.

English

Plastic: Past, Present and Future

The world uses more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. When did we start using it, and why? Where does all that waste end up? Starting with the true story of a 1992 shipwreck that sent thousands of plastic bath toys adrift across the ocean—toys that never broke down—this book takes readers on a deep dive into plastic's origins, production, and uses. It objectively explores plastic's benefits to medicine and manufacturing alongside its growing environmental toll, urging young readers to reuse, recycle, and make informed choices for a better future.
