Very interesting paper. I personally think some serious attention needs to be given to use cases, which in turn drive the issue of plastic waste (which I assume is the one the Action Plan aims to solve). Single use plastic packaging, microbeads, textiles that generate microfibres. These are more of an issue than activists going after "an industry" IMO.

"The Polymerist Policy Position on The Presidential Plastics Action Plan"
I dislike puns, but I love a good alliteration.
I could be wrong with all of this. Australia actually just implemented a sort of plastics ban of their own: https://www.environment.gov.au/protection/waste/plastics-and-packaging/national-plastics-plan/prevention
This will be a good model to see if a plastics ban does actually work or if they start importing more wood, paper, and pulp as alternatives.
