> The obvious side effect I can see is that plastic will no longer be super-durable and plastic goods used outside may now start to "rot". When left outside, most plastic goods degrade after a few years of solar UV exposure. Not well enough to remove the plastic from the environment, but sufficiently degraded that it breaks and is no longer fit for purpose. Like an old plastic lawn chair that becomes brittle and eventually shatters when you sit on it. Indoors things are different. But indoors, wood furniture and whatnot can last hundreds of years.
