THE SURPRISINGLY LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT OF PLASTIC PACKAGING BUT KEEP IT OUT OF THE OCEANS

摘要

There is no doubt that the plastics widely used in a huge variety of packaging materials have a seriously detrimental effect on the environment, particularly the oceans where they all too often end up when poorly disposed of. But there's a reason they're so widely used in these applications - they're very effective. However, when we look at the environmental impact of a material, it's important to consider its carbon footprint across its life cycle.
