In our April Plastics in Politics Live, Steve Toloken talks about polling data from Shelton Group that shows that plastics are a bigger concern for the public than climate change, and that there’s growing skepticism about whether plastics recycling works.

He also covers extended producer legislation, which is being debated in D.C. and in state capitols, and answers questions about a move to establish U.S. federal standards for mass balance for chemical recycling.
