Well the world is bigger than your view, needs or experience. There are many industrial appliances where plastics is not only cheapest, but also the overall best solution. Same would go for example for medicine.
Can it be fully replaced? Yes, but it will really take quite a bit of effort, or even going back to already phased out tools and materials.
- lucideer 7y agoI think you may have misinterpreted my post: I think we agree. It would take an almost impossible effort (I'm not optimistic) on the part of industry. The only point I was rebutting is that our day-to-day consumer needs could not be met without plastic without significant lifestyle change by private individuals. I don't believe that this is true. But yes, the change required on an holistic level is pretty much insurmountable.
