Plastic is basically free. It's a waste product from refining oil. That's why it's so cheap. Instead of telling the petroleum industry they needed to properly deal with their hazardous waste we let them sell it. It would be like a coal mine finding a use for the chemical soup that remains after processing, and then just yeeting it everywhere.
