Yep, just as neutral and useful as all the research on how cigarette is "not that bad", conducted by Marlboro and friends
Oh man... I was about to comment satirically "this study was sponsored by coca-cola" but then I read your comment.
Sometimes it seems like there is no more need for satire, because reality has become a joke itself.
The entire basis for this is the assumption that goods are being transported using fossil fuels. If we transport the goods using electric trucks suddenly plastic starts to look much, much worse than paper or even glass.
Aluminum is much better all around so I'm not sure why it's lumped into everything else. It's basically infinitely recyclable and you don't have to use natural gas or propane to heat it up to the melting point for forming/extrusion. There's basically an infinite amount of ways to heat things up; even to really high temperatures.

Alu is very expensive to produce due to how much processing it takes—which also includes requiring a ton of energy and water, IIRC.
Bulllllllshit.
