    But compared to plastic from virgin fossil fuels?

    We as a society are going to need memory cards.

    What do you think they should be made out of?

        If you penny pinch and don’t want to pay the environmental cost, sure plastic might come out cheaper.

        But when you take into account the triple bottom line, plastic comes out behind.

          Plastic in a landfill is a lot less harmful than co2 in the atmosphere.

              Sure but do you have any proof they are doing that? some places are really good and others really bad. Overall my guess is iron is still worse than plastic but there are exceptions.
