Plastic delivers many direct economic benefits and can contribute to resource efficiency. It reduces food waste by increasing shelf life, and its relative light weight reduces fuel consumption for transporting goods.
Plastics contribute to economic growth, but their current production and use pattern, on a linear model of 'take, make, use, and dispose', is a primary driver of natural resource depletion, waste, environmental degradation, climate change, and has adverse human health effects.
