Investigates the history of plastic; including how Southeast Asian farmers used the by product of a beetle, shellac, to preserve wood, that lead to the first type of plastic ever made; and Dupont's development of nylon, the first synthetic material to replace silk. Illuminates the downside of plastic also, that is hard to break down and the possible future of plastics, bioplastic.
