Is plastic rubbish? Despite its reputation, plastics have a number of valuable properties that make them instrumental in day-to-day life. The Many Happy Returns project team, and Gina Allen, artist, have created a mixed media exhibition that questions our view of plastic. Is it a mere waste material or can new relationships with plastic lead to more beneficial environmental outcomes?
