- Abstract
The document is an editorial from the Journal of Plastic Film & Sheeting. It discusses the current state of Covid, comparing it to the annual flu, and emphasizes the importance of not letting it interfere with our lives. The editor also addresses the issue of plastic pollution, arguing that the blame should be placed on individuals who allow plastic to enter the environment rather than on the plastic itself. The editorial highlights the need for life cycle analysis to make informed decisions about environmental choices and discusses various recycling technologies. It also mentions the issue of forever chemicals contamination and the efforts being made to find alternatives. The editor expresses optimism about progress towards a circular and sustainable economy but acknowledges that it will take time and collaboration between the public and private sectors. The editorial concludes with a call to protect the planet and create a safe and peaceful world for future generations. Additionally, the document includes summaries of four original articles on topics related to plastic film and packaging.
