Well imagine you Atari case were made of wood, if it weren't exposed to excessive moisture, or kept in contact with soil it would still be in fine shape.

- TylerE 8y agoNow imagine how much time and energy it would take to gather 15x6x2in blocks of wood. To mill them out to shape, transport them. How long does it take to grow trees big enough to get such large blocks from? Quite a bit worse than a bit of injection molded plastic.
- gerbilly 8y agoSure, but I was comparing the theoretical longevity of biodegradable plastic to wood. OP was worried his atari would have disintegrated by now if it had been made 40 years ago out of biodegradable plastic. I was giving wood as an example of why it might not.
