I think the government should not be technology-neutral. I think the government should base its decisions on science. Science will decide which technologies to choose, based on complete transparency, in terms of only two metrics: What are the greenhouse gas emissions in making that plastic, and what are the end-of-life emissions at the time of disposal of that plastic? Are there any more smart ways in science to deal with both these metrics? There are international standards—they don't have to be reinvented—that can actually speak to this.
I think the government should follow science, and follow science based on internationally acknowledged standards like ISO 14044 or the carbon-14 carbon dating system. These are long-established standards.
That's my view.
