Dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2021. I de senere år er plastikforureningskrisen blevet en international skandale. Billeder af døde dyr, forurenede floder og have har chokeret verden. Plastikemballageindustrien har erklæret, at den ved, hvordan man løser problemet: Genbrug. I stigende grad er flasker, kasser og poser stolt stemplet med ordene '100% genanvendelig', da firmaer og brands konkurrerer om at forsikre forbrugerne om, at deres emballagekøb er skyldfrit. Men hvis genbrug virkelig er løsningen, hvorfor producerer verden så mere nyt plastik end nogensinde før?
Could it be that we are all involuntary participants in a huge experiment, threatening humankind? Researchers affirm that, as plastic has gained ground in our lives over the years, there has been an inexplicable exponential increase in a number of diseases and disorders, such as cancer or ADHD. Are they just unfortunate coincidences - or is there an explanation? The researchers are in no doubt. They know that our natural hormones can be disturbed by chemicals from, among other things, plastic. Experiments on animals have shown that it is especially in fetal life that adverse health effects can occur. Before you were even born, it could be that you were pre-programmed to get various diseases and disorders later in life.
