      Take a moment to consider everything in your kitchen that uses plastic. Quite a bit, isn’t it. Now, imagine what it would be like if we didn’t use plastic? What would be the substitution for plastic and would it be more or less harmful?

      Addicted to Plastic offers viewers a look into the global production and long-lasting environmental effects of plastics. On this 2-year trip around the world, the host gives us insight into plastic’s life cycle. The recycling and processing of plastics have come a long way over the years. But what happens to the plastics that don’t get recycled? Not everyone recycles and what about all that plastic that went to landfills before recycling was ever introduced?

      This point-of-view style documentary includes three years worth of filming. The crew travelled to 12 countries in 5 continents, including two trips to the centre of the Pacific Ocean. Until now, I had no idea that was where the plastic debris accumulates.

      Addicted to Plastic, a feature-length documentary examines the life of plastic over the last 100 years. It also features several interviews from experts offering more practical and ground-breaking solutions to plastics. The mission to make its viewers aware of the effects of plastic and give us insight into the future of plastic.

      This would probably make a good documentary if the narrator wasn't so full of himself. From the very beginning he tried to make himself look good and brave. "Oh, it was so dangerous. Oh no-one would come to rescue us if something happened." Why even mention that shit? Ruins the documentary for me.

    • Falcon Heene

      Oh c'mon Bendik! Have just the slightest bit of patience will you?

      This was one of the best documentaries I've seen here. Well, it was one of the most interesting to me I should say. It's especially relevant to consumer cultures, which I'm assuming most of the people who view this site come from.

      The images are beautiful. Scenes shot from all over the world. The ocean too. Plus the bright colors of all the different plastics. Then at different recycling plants, those plastics melting down into goo and being reformed.

      Tons of good information, lots of eye candy, important message, captivating. Great documentary. Oh, and video quality is top notch too.

      Fuck Megaviedo; cutting me off 15 minutes before the end.

      Anyone having issues with MegaVideo's limitations needs to do this:

      1) Use FireFox instead of Internet Explorer
      2) Install the plugin available here:

      3) Enjoy the films.

      "Oh, it was so dangerous. Oh no-one would come to rescue us if something happened."

      Judging from some of the comments I'm left wondering if I logged onto YouTube by mistake. Isn't that where the "I-didn't-watch-this-but-it-sucked" advocates reside?

      This would be a decent documentary if it had been produced by the BBC or Discovery. But, when one considers that it was made by a couple of regular guys that sacrificed two years of their lives to raise awareness regarding a serious subject that most people know nothing about, it's far better than merely decent…

      … This award winning documentary is actually pretty damn good and more than a little enlightening.

      Sure, plastic poses a bit of a problem.

      But relative to the death, destruction, violence, corruption and wealth destruction wrought by governments and religions around the world, plastic should be number 10,0000 on our list of priorities

    • (just a) F R O G on the LOG

      Well thank you RyanC for such a profound statement. Please, go out and rectify those more important ills of the world, then come on back and let us know when you're all done!!

      As for the film; I'm giving it a 5 fer 5 stars, DL ! (and I'm star stingy)

      just curious, Ryan; what does "wealth destruction wrought by governments and religions around the world" mean ???

    • Tipsy

      I enjoyed this one quite a lot. Both eye-opening, and inspirational, in terms of what is being done around the world to fix this problem.

      Wish it wasn't on Megavideo, though – I listen to these at work, which means I'm limited in what I can download or fiddle with, so none of the previously mentioned workarounds really work for me.

      i bet RyanC didn't even watch the documentary

      I know plastics are toxic and a major problem. I recently took an upper level college course called "contemporary environmental issues" and we found that all the plastics building up in the Pacific are actually creating landmasses that sea creatures can inhabit. The plastics are creating new habitats.

      Also, the plankton per unit in comparison to plastic particulate collected is not very scientific. You're not going to find a lot of plankton if it isn't spring…and also your not in the arctic off the NW coast, that's why whales spend 4 months swimming through the pacific to reach the north…that's where the plankton blooms are.

      I am more concerned with toxins in plastic such as BPA. However I can't tell if the doc is going to go into that because after 61 minutes of viewing the player cut off =P

    • Logic

      U r soooo wrong RyanC

    • shenti

      wow! great documentary. Full of facts. Perfect to teach friends and family about some of the toxic and environmental dangers in our world =)

    • Kathleen

      Really comprehensive doc. Great to use in the classroom. Anyone know if there is a version with spanish subtitles?

    • Caitlin

      This is the King Corn of plastic. The documentary is a rehashing of information some of us already know and try to work toward solving yet, it is a great medium for bringing information to people who aren’t aware of the extent of the damage plastics have on our planet. We all know plastics are detrimental to our environment but, many people also assume throwing packaging into the recycling bin is the greatest effort that can be made to decreasing the amount of waste produced. This is a strange comfort zone that can be extremely difficult to escape.

      I love how documentaries such as this cater to people who might not be aware of the severity of the damage they’re unwittingly doing to themselves and their progeny. However, other individuals might not find this documentary scientific enough….It’s a great introductory piece :)

      IF only there was a legal duty on manufacturers to warn their consumers of the harms to humans, environment, animals that are associated with the manufacturing of their products. Maybe that would invoke ethical consumerism?
