      doesn’t metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?

        But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.

          True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

              that’s…

              I somehow doubt that.

                Uranium baseball cups. Not physically possible to throw a baseball hard enough to damage the goods, plus it helps combat the effects of overpopulation.

            I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too

                  I’ll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it’s made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn’t matter what it is made out of, it’s going to pollute.

                  What a downvote Nancy.

        probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.

          at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor

            honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol

            do micro metals even exist in substantial capacity? The problem with micro plastics is that they don’t break down and decay until like a gazillion years later, so whatever micro plastics are in your kidneys now, will continue to be in them until you die.
