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