          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.

                Uranium baseball cups. Not physically possible to throw a baseball hard enough to damage the goods, plus it helps combat the effects of overpopulation.

          Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn’t a problem.

              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.
