When plastic companies write the lesson plans

September 1, 2026 · Grist · Score: 0

This story is outside what Retrofit Relay covers. We focus on home energy upgrades, weatherization, heat pumps, and rebate programs — not school curricula or plastics industry influence in education. There's no angle here about insulation, air sealing, electrification, or utility incentives that would affect a homeowner's energy decisions.

If you're looking for news on energy-efficiency upgrades, rebates like those under HEAR (the Home Efficiency Rebates program), or technologies such as heat pumps, check back for stories tied to those topics. This particular piece concerns a nonprofit report on plastics industry materials in K-12 schools, which doesn't translate into guidance for planning a home retrofit.
