Dutch food design firm Sweet Sneak Studio partners up with photographer Morten Bentzon to create a visually impactful series that calls attention to the remnants of single-use products, like plastic bags and cling wrap, that pollute the food supply chain.
Microplastics are sub-five-millimeter pieces of plastic and these can escape into water treatment filtration systems and can contribute to the further pollution of the ocean, thus, entering what we eat as well. Sweet Sneak Studio and Morten Bentzon engaged in this project to raise awareness about the issue and to "bust the myth" that this can only be found in seafood, as "microplastics [can] move all the way up to the top of the food chain and end up on our plates."
