Open Secrets has a database that tracks political donations By Big Oil & Gas. One way that Big Plastic protects itself is by putting its political contributions under Big Oil. This has two benefits for the plastics industry: 1) It keeps Big Plastic’s name out of it, and 2) it confuses consumers because when someone says, “Big Oil,” one is inclined to think of fuel rather than plastic pollution (despite the fact that nearly all plastic is made from petroleum).
