Yet simply decarbonising petrochemical refineries will not be a silver bullet for a sector which - as we are continuing to discover - has significant impacts on biodiversity thanks to the spread of microplastics. Moreover, even 'green plastics' have a significant carbon footprint if they are burned at the end of their life.
