Are you confused about plastics recycling? Do you think it is all a fraud?The ultimate goal of this podcast is to provide a platform for the people that are making recycling and the circularity of plastics a reality. Real people that are making a difference!We might even debunk a few myths about plastics, or correct the current narrative around plastics.People choose plastics because of convenience, but we need them to choose plastics because they are a better sustainable packaging option for the environment. Success in these areas will "redefine plastics" in the eyes of consumers.We need to better express the benefits of plastic products. If we do not connect the "Why" of plastics with our overall messaging, we will continue to be deselected in packaging applications by consumer demand.Part of the Brave Media Family#plastics #plasticrecycling #plasticwaste #sustainability #microplastics
