> Imagine all the plastic items in the World suddenly as susceptible to rot as wood. It would fundamentally change almost every aspect our existence, in a very short amount of time. Absolutely! The first thing came to my mind is the usage of polymers in construction industry (epoxy for joining material, coating for anti-corrosion measures) and the predominant PVC underground sewer lines and plumbing pipes. If those aren't as durable as we previously assumed, the rebuild/replacement is going to be catastrophic. (PS: I had almost had to replace the underground clay/cast iron sewer lines that's been there for 50 years and reaching the end of life for the material at our new home last year. The cost was astronomical and requires many town permits and time to even start the project. Thankfully we didn't have to!)
