Plastic Waste 560x560.png [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c424fbebafbe6ec070b5f/1597366467555-600VAJV8KQKUM1ASOCI1/Plastic+Waste+560x560.png?format=1000w] Environmental issues are being put on the back-burner as our world deals with the COVID19 crisis, with many bans on single use plastic waste being delayed.
