    Would be interesting to see which uses more energy. Implementing a carbon tax would surface those costs pretty quickly.

      That’s the thing about plastic people seem to ignore. The carbon is in the plastic, not released into the atmosphere as co2. Which is why plastic isn’t that bad for global warming purposes. It’s an area where generic environmentalism can be at odds with someone that is solely focused on climate change.
