Letter: Life in plastic is not at all fantastic

Published 29 October 2025

From John Healey, Semaphore, South Australia

I read with concern that research scientists have developed a stronger, tougher plastic. Why? Plastics contribute massively to greenhouse gas emissions, pollute the oceans and kill wildlife. We should be phasing out plastics, not inventing more(4 October, p 12).
