Experts have discovered the negative consequences of giving up plastic

Scientists looked at plastic and its substitutes used in different fields. It turned out that in 15 out of 16 cases, plastic products are more favourable in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide emissions produced throughout the life cycle of the product.

The results of the scientific work point to the environmental benefits of plastic packaging compared to other options. However, optimising the use of plastic, increasing recycling rates and taking steps to extend the life of plastic products to minimise the negative impact of the plastic itself on the Earth are required.
