You say "packaging", but more than half of packaging is paper, not plastic. Plastic products are extremely valuable to humanity, the plastic manufacturing industry is merely meeting the demand. Each moment humanity is without plastic is a moment hundreds of millions of people are suffering beyond contemporary compare. If the waste is unacceptable, we have to find something to do with it, because we won't (and shouldn't) stop producing plastic. Personally I think more paper could be used, and advancements could certainly be made in paper and metal foil manufacturing to reduce reliance on disposable plastics, but painting plastic manufacturers as simple villains is childish and absurd.
