Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic
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?
Wood
H e m p
Uranium
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
