Season 2, Episode 11: Debunking 10 Common Packaging Myths
In this episode of Crazy About Packaging, the CAP Pack take aim at one of the biggest sources of confusion in the industry: packaging misinformation.
From dramatic headlines to misquoted studies, there’s no shortage of bad information floating around. This episode takes on 10 of the most common myths about plastics and sustainability (and explains what’s actually true).
This isn’t about defending poor design or pretending everything’s working fine. It’s about getting clear on the facts, so teams can make better decisions without getting sidetracked by noise.
🔍 Tune in to explore:
Why “all plastic is bad” is an oversimplification that misses the real story
How alternative materials like glass and paper may create more problems than they solve
What “biodegradable” actually means, and why it doesn’t always help
The truth about recycling: where it works, where it doesn’t, and why that’s changing
How shifting the blame to plastic distracts from the real issue — infrastructure and behavior
🎯 Whether you're new to packaging or deep in the sustainability weeds, this episode breaks down the myths that keep teams stuck and gives you the clarity to move forward.
