So while I don't disagree with the spirit of this video, I've come to distrust Matt and that youtube channel as a reliable source of information.

https://undecidedmf.com/episodes/why-seaweed-could-be-the-fu...

If you look at the link to his script with his source citations, most are pop science articles, several are marketing/press releases for companies, and at most there's two maybe three things I'd consider a primary source there.

Of those sources, two look to be paywalled content for market research firms, and the lone source that's actually (appears at least) to be a peer reviewed paper, is about seaweed agriclutrue not applications for plastics specifically.

The man's videos are a game of telephone with other people's journalisim as 'sources' -- the message out the end is a stretch at best, and hyperbole or marketing for companies at worst.
