Maybe I'm misunderstanding the post from @megopie@beehaw.org too? They seemed to be criticizing this plastics control agreement so I was countering that idea. On repeat readings, it still seems ambiguous.
That's fair. I did misinterpret the article and didn't notice the date, so I've deleted my post.
The profitability and market viability of fossil fuels depends pretty heavily on plastics production as a way of profitably disposing of byproducts. Take that away and they’re much less competitive with other energy sources.
Reducing fossil fuel extraction is something we need to do though. Regardless, the agreement is not talking about eliminating plastics completely but regulating their production. If you wanted to address what you described, couldn't they regulate it so plastics are used for more durable things, like plastic lumber, car parts, furniture, etc. instead of all the endless disposable stuff?
