« La production effrénée de plastiques engendre une pollution aux impacts croissants, qui entraînera des coûts considérables à mesure que les crises qu’elle suscite se multiplieront. En ce qui concerne la crise climatique, l’industrie plastique est responsable de 5,3 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre (chiffres de 2019). Si rien ne change, ces émissions pourraient doubler, voire tripler d’ici 2050. »
