Maybe don’t use a photo of regular plastic then? That’s literally a stock photo.

That sounds extremely cool. Hope it’s as good as it sounds

Probably sticky when wet.

How sustainable is it to make plastic from milk? How much milk would be needed? Doesn’t sound like a good replacement at all to me.

There’s so much people becoming vegans. We got to keep milk in high demand somehow! /s

I know you’re being sarcastic but for the people not aware, the dairy industry does not require demand: they have a deal where the government buys all the milk and cheese consumers don’t want. So this incentive is likely trying to recuperate some of the wasted tax money, but stopping this ridiculous subsidy would be much more effective in reducing environmental issues.

Hah, the title (being just “Plastic is…”) makes it sound like it applies to plastic in general! I wish.

Well, actually I don’t wish. It sure would be inconvenient for all the electronics and stuff that are made out of plastic.
