File 004 - Made to Break

They told us plastic was safe. Recyclable. Disposable. Harmless.
They lied.

The Plastic Files is a gripping investigative podcast that uncovers the shocking truth about plastic pollution — and the corporations, cover-ups, and systems that allowed it to seep into our bodies, our oceans, and our future.

Hosted by Nakul Lax, each episode unpacks a new file — from microplastics in our blood to the myth of recycling, from industry deception to the global health crisis unfolding in plain sight.

This isn’t just an environmental issue.
It’s a human one.
