There is absolutely no scientific reason for environmental activists to scapegoat most plastic products as some alleged climate killer. In fact, plastics have made our world safer and healthier in ways most of us take for granted.
Real scientists favor plastic over the alternatives. According to the Danish Ministry of Environment , the production of plastic bottles yields a lower environmental impact than aluminum cans, glass containers, boxes, or cartons. Danish researchers report that aluminum cans use exponentially more energy in production, while plastic bottles emit the fewest greenhouse gases — even fewer than cartons and boxes.
According to a study from McKinsey & Co., plastic products are better for the environment than alternatives in 13 out of 14 products tested. And don’t forget the trees: Plastic saves tens of millions of trees every year. Sten Gustaf Thulin would be proud of that. Why hasn’t the U.S. academic community looked further into the counterintuitive realities of plastic use? Why has Sweden seen the light while cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco impose emotionally driven plastic bans and taxes that run counter to science?
