Abstract
Amid growing public awareness and concern regarding the true nature and extent of plastic pollution, and growing realization of the urgent need to transition away from petroleum-based plastics, consumers have a vital role to play in addressing the problem. Where they can make informed choices on avoiding products containing the most persistent and harmful plastics, consumers can lead the market away from its current reliance upon such plastics and can promote more sustainable production and consumption of similar or substitute materials.
