It's a bad thing that plastic breaks down into smaller little bits, because it's always still plastic.

Upon working with the plastic, after about the first eight years, some of my work started to fissure and break down into smaller little bits of plastic.

Small bits of plastic concentrate persistent organic pollutants up to a million times their levels in the surrounding seawater.

Perhaps even worse is when it finds its way into our oceans, like in the great plastic gyre, where these materials are being mechanically broken into smaller and smaller bits, but they're not really going away.

'bits' data bits can be 8,7,6 or 5 default value is 8

He collected bits of information.

Recycling of plastic in many developing countries means the incineration of the plastic, the burning of the plastic, which releases incredible toxic chemicals and, once again, kills people.

And my intention was to go out to the gyre, raise awareness about this issue and begin to pick up the plastic, chip it into little bits and cold mold it into bricks that could potentially be used as building materials in underdeveloped communities.

And it creates a simple, low speed data stream in 10,000 bits per second, 20,000 bits per second.

We must make the utmost effort to reduce the use of plastic packaging, and also to recycle all waste plastic.

I'm also concerned about the plastic in the refrigerator, and I'm concerned about the plastic and the toxins that leach from plastic into us and into our bodies.

It's a plastic bag.

I want pieces. Bits and pieces.

And these are just a few examples of companies that are buying our plastic, replacing virgin plastic, to make their new products.

They have thousands and thousands of plastic bags.

The Dirt on Plastic Waste

And the last material I'm going to talk about today is plastic, and, of course, my toaster had to have a plastic case.

So a lot of people remember the plastic bottle anyway, but we really talked about marine debris and plastic in the course of that one.

I began to be fascinated by plastic, so I spent four months making eight plastic blocks perfectly optically transparent, as a kind of release of stress.

We automatically throw the little nub of plastic upward.

Plastic is the defining feature of cheap electrical goods.

So I looked at other ways of making plastic.
