Today I bought chocolate. The packaging says that the plastic rots. Why isn’t this kind used for everything?
In: Chemistry
It’s worse for the environment than just using oil based plastics, which also rot if exposed to the elements. I’m reminded of how legislation was passed a while back mandating a bunch of cardboard be made from a particular plant that grows in Madagascar. This plant made cardboard easy to recycle. So the Madagascans bulldozed 75% of their rainforests putting countless species to extinction so they could farm this 1 plant. Meanwhile nobody really recycles much cardboard anyway so it was all for nothing.
