摘要

At this point, no informed person can honestly deny the world's plastic waste issue. Researchers have delivered sobering statistics about the amount of plastics ending up in waterways. Media outlets have offered a regular stream of stories and imagery, mobilizing consumers and nonprofit groups. Today, the plastics industry itself is quick to acknowledge the severity of the problem. "We cannot continue business as usual," the American Chemistry Council's Steve Russell noted recently. "It's time for change." That quotation from Russell came in "Plastics Wars," an hour-long episode aired by PBS investigative news show "Frontline" this spring. (Russell, who retired from the ACC earlier this year, was the head of the group's plastics division at the time he was interviewed.) The "Frontline" report has been on the recycling industry radar for some time now. In fact, the Resource Recycling editorial department offered industry background information to "Frontline" producers in mid-2019. The depth of reporting "Frontline" was clearly doing around plastic waste and the show's reputation for in-depth insight offered hope that we'd be in for a well-researched perspective or why plastics mismanagement keeps happening - and what we as a society should be trying to do about it.
