Interesting stuff. I've often wondered how we're seriously going to tackle plastic pollution when it's a fundamental component to entire industries (medicine, tech etc). It would be great to see a transition to natural storage solutions, but in my view it would have to be coupled with a radical reduction in consumption if it were to be successful, otherwise we'd just shift the impacts elsewhere? Also, much of the plastic in the ocean is nets and gear dumped by commercial fishing vessels
