Pollution? It comes from underground, does something useful, gets buried again.
Waste? Uhh... It may "feel" wasteful, because it's more durable than paper, but if it's both cheaper and better than paper, I don't really see the issue. Plus if I want to pay to buy something, it's kinda by definition useful.
Environmental damage from fruit & vegetable plastic packaging. Again, not clear on the how. Plastic is very chemically inert to the point of being used as food packaging. It may at worst be visually unappealing in the wrong context, but that's a disposal issue.
And please, please, for the love of all that is still logical, don't tell me about plastic in oceans. A ban on packaging in Spain will do absolutely nothing about how municipal waste is disposed of in Africa and Asia. Both wrong problem and wrong continent.
It's about pollution and waste and environmental damage generally.
Not sure why people keep getting this confused.
