You're absolutely right, it's not just about the matter itself, but how we as a society handle it. Plastics, in many cases, do offer unmatched utility and efficiency, particularly in sectors like healthcare, transportation, and technology. The problem lies often in our systems of consumption and waste management. If we had more robust, transparent, and globally coherent recycling infrastructures, the environmental impact could be dramatically reduced. Thank you for highlighting that, it's a reminder that the issue is as much social and systemic as it is material.
