Plastic packaging has issues but climate change is not one of them.
Shipping also isn’t impactful at all. Most shipping emissions happen when the product moves to the store, not when it sails in a container ship.
Based on your post, the main evil of the corporations is manipulating the media, confusing people with things like abolishing plastic straws (which are very efficient at what they do).
Eating beef, owning a car and buying unnecessary stuff (for example those bottled drinks) are huge. They easily make up half of a persons emissions. An accurate measure is hard because of secondary effects like needing less road with fewer cars.
Consumption of everything is the problem. More people means more pollution. Plastic is a side product of oil. Cement is one of the big players and it’s used everywhere.
Eating meat on the other hand is not as bad of a reason as you’d think. People often think that cattle feed comes from same fields as out food, but that’s simply not true. For the most part it’s leftovers from food we consume, plant matter from corn and wheat for example, and from fields that would otherwise be unused due to low fertility. If you remove meat from the diet only thing you are left with is excess plant matter.
