Because of their many uses, plastics are now structuring both technically and culturally the food value chains, particularly downstream: their versatility has encouraged greater complexity in their formulations, making their waste management very difficult. Their omnipresence in continental ecosystems and in the human body, and their proven impacts at all levels, therefore call into question the very possibility of making the use of plastics in agriculture and food sustainable.
