This is great progress! If a solution like this can reduce global hard plastic usage by even 1%, that would be a massive impact.
It's encouraging to see smart people attacking this hard problem persistently, delivering new solutions, and inching us closer to a real breakthrough with each iteration.

- kikoreis 2y agoThrough regulation?
- foundart 2y agoI read it as “by replacing use of some hard plastics”.
- Y_Y 2y agoIf this a good substitute for "hard plastic" then it could reduce usage by replacing it.
- Dylan16807 2y agoBut wouldn't the thing we're replacing it with also be a hard plastic? Then we're reducing the use of more persistent hard plastics but we're not reducing hard plastic use overall.
