Plastics were a luxury good 100 years ago. How much is petroleum distillation subsidized currently? That contributes to the cheapness of plastic. China has demonstrated that doing things for the people's benefit is worth their time instead of focusing on endless profit.
If Chinese companies start using bamboo plastic for disposable packaging it'll make more of an impact than you repeating oil oligarch propaganda
I’m not a propagandist, I’m an engineer who designs consumer products. As an environmentalist I actively campaigned my last employer in support of bio plastic options. However in over 30 years I have never been able to specify a single part made from bio plastic due to either material properties and/or the cost of raw resin. Like I said, good for the Chinese. But in America corporate greed rules.
There's no propaganda in that post. Unless forced by consumer demand or the government companies will not switch to a more expensive packaging. They're about quarterly profits, that's it.
Additionally, there are some oil applications we don't have a replacement for, however we have replacements for pretty much all the largest polluters (energy, transport, and plastic).
Propaganda deepthroating level: all porn actresses are envious.
