At least they're biodegradable though? Plastic isn't really.

- qbrass 9y agoPlastic breaks down in oxygen and UV light. The problem is people keep burying them.
- always_good 9y agoWell, they break down into small pieces that everything ingests.
- sdfasdasfsf 9y agoWhat is plastic? PE, PTFE, There are microorganisms that eat certain polymers (PE), but I don't think anything will ever eat PTFE (teflon) I'd bet that switching away from teflon frying pans you'll help the environment more than getting rid of a life time of PE bags. F chemistry is super nasty
- dpark 9y agoI bet you won’t. The amount of PTFE consumed by the typical person is minuscule compared to the amount of PE they use. People buy Teflon pans maybe once every decade. They buy more PE with a single bottle of soda. For that matter, most people probably have more PTFE in their plumbing than stored in their kitchen cabinets.
