Plastic industry explosion is last 40 years. I think today almost nobody remembers Pepsi or Coca Cola in glass bottles. Suddenly it has become more expensive to wash bottles than to poison people and the planet. If you enter "pepsi" in image search then all it's there is plastic bottles or aluminum cans. Apart from "water producers" (sic!) the largest plastic-producing industry is kids' toys. Think all the guns, kiddie bikes, cars, dolls and a lot more. Plastic toys wrapped in plastic, breaking after 1 day, or a week, then thrown away. Or kids growing up and toys thrown away as well. Or parcel shipping. Even the smallest item sent wrapped in enormous amounts of stretch wrap with bubble wrap inside. Or theft protection: a micro SD card a size of nail wrapped in 20-cm long and thick plastic to prevent it being easily stolen. Governments around the world are more than happy to tolerate all that.
