The conversation around microplastics is filled with myths—but what’s the real story? In this episode of Crazy About Packaging, Natalie, Mike, and Jonathan welcome back Dr. Chris DeArmitt, a leading plastics expert and independent environmental scientist, to separate fact from fiction.

🌍 What you’ll learn in this episode:✔️ Are microplastics as harmful as the headlines suggest?✔️ How do media narratives fuel misinformation about plastics?✔️ Why do life cycle analyses show that plastic alternatives may not be as eco-friendly as they seem?✔️ Do microplastics actually degrade, or do they persist indefinitely?

Dr. DeArmitt debunks common myths using peer-reviewed data and shares insights from his upcoming book, Shattering the Plastics Illusion. If you want science-based answers on microplastics, sustainability, and the future of packaging, this episode is a must-listen.
