The Lies Around Plastic Packaging | Greenpeace USA



“Recyclable, compostable, plant-based” — are these plastics really any better?

In a collaboration between @Brut and @Greenpeace USA, Ivy Schlegel, a global researcher at Greenpeace USA, breaks down the lies around plastic packaging.

From beaches in Southeast Asia to the remote Antarctic, plastic pollution is everywhere, harming animals like turtles and seabirds and affecting human health. Scientists have even found microplastics in the air we breathe and the food we eat. And because most plastic is made from fracked gas and oil, it is also impacting the climate. To truly tackle this crisis globally, we need to solve the problem at its source.
