Plastic Expelled: Exposing Industry Propaganda in Schools

The plastic industry—including some of the largest chemical, fossil fuel, and plastic producers in the world—is buying its way into U.S. public schools. They are funding and distributing highly biased plastic “education” programs and materials that frame plastic as safe, essential, and recyclable, despite the increasing evidence that plastic harms people and the planet.
