Plastics and the Climate Change Paradox
Plastic products account for the use of just 4% of the World non-renewable fossil fuel consumption but, paradoxically, increased use of plastics would actually reduce the overall consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels and reduce society’s GHG emissions. Contrary to popular belief, reduced use of plastics would actually have the opposite effect - increasing the overall consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels and increasing society’s GHG emissions.
