Assuming a 70% reduction in the global consumption of single-use #plastics, our latest report reveals a substantial impact on petrochemical industry revenue and a significant reduction in #oil demand that highlights the shakiness of the industry. https://t.co/DslnuVbkvj

In our most recent report, we examined how a 70% reduction in the global consumption of single-use plastics would spell trouble for the petrochemical industry. Get the key findings in our fact sheet:

“The policy changes here may have a delaying effect on the decline of coal, but they are certainly not changing the direction of coal’s future,” - IEEFA's Seth Feaster. The technical and economic rationales for quitting coal remain undeniable. via @DeSmog https://t.co/HwXDyhnnMe

Our new report analyzes the implications of a 70% reduction in global consumption of single-use plastics. We found that such a reduction would reduce demand by approximately $138 billion per year within an estimated $197 billion global market. Learn more:

Exactly ten years ago today, the #ParisAgreement set a new course for the global energy system. Since then, solar grew from playing a marginal role to the fastest-growing source of electricity worldwide -- with emerging economies now in the lead. #COP30 https://t.co/o4f9vVyvt1

With 92% of planned steel capacity yet to be built, India has a critical window to avoid carbon lock-in. And as global experience shows, right mix of public capital instruments can dramatically lower project risk & unlock private capital at scale. Report: https://t.co/aGu0iC1yzU

In the ongoing move away from #coal generation in the U.S., the long-term reality is that the transition has been remarkably consistent. This is a trend we believe is irreversible. via @ConversationUS https://t.co/WUUkRhSiNY

Global energy demand rose rapidly in 2025. But supply rose even higher...thanks to solar ☀️ 🔗 https://t.co/TkxEGJeY0h

IEEFA's latest research finds that a large reduction in the global consumption of single-use plastics would substantially lower #plastics demand, reshape #oil consumption patterns, and compress earnings for major producers. Read the report here:
