    doesn’t metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?

      But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.

        True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

            that’s…

            I somehow doubt that.

          I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too

            Stainless steel leaches nickel and chromium.

                I’ll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it’s made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn’t matter what it is made out of, it’s going to pollute.

                What a downvote Nancy.

      probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.

        at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor

          honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol

        But what about ingesting micrometals

          do micro metals even exist in substantial capacity? The problem with micro plastics is that they don’t break down and decay until like a gazillion years later, so whatever micro plastics are in your kidneys now, will continue to be in them until you die.
