What's the motivation (market pressure) to develop such a thing? Plastic is cheap, so without other external pressure, there's no reason for any company to fund the development of something new. This is why pollution and other society-scale problems need a society-scale solution (government regulation).

The epidemic happened and we were able to make one in less than a year. But there was a fuckton of money to be made in it so we found a way.
