Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · The Great Recycling Scam: How Big Plastic Fooled America | Julia Cohen · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

There are now preemptive banning of bans on plastic bags and some other items.

So unfortunately, some legislators took it upon themselves or were supported to ban bans.

100 percent.

Of course.

Yeah.

Right.

So those are now being contested.

Hopefully some of those make it to state Supreme Courts or higher to overturn that.

I mean, even if you're a libertarian, like you don't want a preemptive banning of bans.

You may not like any bans at all.

But are you going to say we're going to ban doing any bans?

It's a whole convoluted question.

But a lot of states are pushing for extended producer responsibility, EPR laws, which basically are the polluter pays.

So that, you know, the former head of Unilever even was quoted as saying, sometimes I think we're in the plastic trash business or the plastic packaging business.

Like they sell all their products in...

You know, plastic packaging.

So it's like not even so much about what's in the bottle.

It's all these bottles.

But if you require companies to have to have a plan and a system to take back their bottles, that changes the incentives.

That changes the game.
