Acknowledgements

This volume was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Massey University College of Humanities, the Massey University School of People, Environment, and Planning, and the Massey University School of English and Media Studies. The editors also wish to thank Paul Spoonley, Glenn Banks, and Jenny Lawn for their ongoing support for Political Ecology Research Centre (PERC) initiatives and Lisa Vonk for her administrative assistance. This book emerged from PERC’s Lives and Afterlives of Plastic Conference held online in 2017. The presentations offered in this conference generated a great deal of lively online discussion. We would also like to thank those who contributed to these thoughtful and thought-provoking discussions since they have undoubtedly influenced the content of this book.
