HOW DOES PLASTIC PRODUCTION CONTRIBUTE TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS?

Plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions at every stage of its lifecycle, from its production to its refining and the way it is managed as a waste product. Projections show that plastic makes 20% of the world’s oil production by 2050. But different to other products made from fossil fuels, like petrol, plastic is not taxed, making production and consumption very cheap.
