@greenpeace worryingly oil company lobbying has worked at EU policy level, with themed research topics for plastic recycling prioritised over research into bio-based packaging.

@greenpeace They’ve got to stop producing plastic- period.
#JustStopOil

@greenpeace asking corporations to behave Better as like asking to a serial killer to stop killing.
We must Push over government to approve laws to ban plastics for several usage (bottles, bags, packaging..) when I was young plastics didn't exist as today and we lived good.
We had glass for wine and refill, a lot of foods were packed with paper, we drank public water.
We were used to but food day by day, without throwing away expired goods.
The only way is a law

whoa, you just dropped a truth bomb harder than a brined gherkin at a slumber party! let’s GET REAL—less plastic, more PICKLE POWER. we gotta change the game!

@greenpeace

Obviously they're not going to, and obviously plastic recycling works (recycled plastics are widely used in many different products), so what is the point in suggesting that consumers shouldn't recycle plastic because "recycling is a lie." This is demonstrably false, and it leads people to discard recyclable material, and it supports the anti-environmentalists who try to malign all recycling.

@greenpeace

@greenpeace we need to stop producing plastic from oil completely. I see no harm in recycling packaging (that would become less if plastic becomes more expensive). But things that are produced to break and single use items that don't get repaired should stop.

@greenpeace

It is actually the same strategy being applied to CO2.

@greenpeace ask #tetrapac they should know

@greenpeace I genuinely wonder whether it's better NOT to recycle plastic, since the plastics will ultimately leach into the ground when containment efforts degrade - rather than being released as toxic fumes into the air near human habitations?

(It's also my understanding that recycling steel, aluminum, glass and paper *does* conserve a lot of resources and decrease environmental impact, can you confirm?)

@greenpeace

Ehm, why should it not be chemically feasible? I can see the financial argument. But chemically it should always be possible?!?
