All plastic is produced from petroleum and as long as big money is made from those petroleum distillates, plastic will keep pouring out into our environment, even as it becomes an ever greater pollutant in the physical environment and danger to ALL life on the planet. Just try to find any food product at your grocery store NOT wrapped in plastic. Oil is the source of ALL of our environmental problems and, like any good addict, we just can't live without it. So, we will die from our addiction, just like any other addict.
Thanks for the link, but it says that only 2% of the 380M tons of annual plastic production is bioplastic, and only a fraction is compostable. I still would like to know how the Germans made petrol synthetically to run their motors without fossil fuels in WWII.

Actually, some are not petroleum based, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioplastic
