minus-squareripcordlinkfedilink8•6 months agoYou’re talking like .01% as much plastic use per liter as plastic bottle water packs. Is that not…much much better?
minus-square@nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilink5•6 months agoI’m not sure how much microplastics are released in that way. It can be better than bottles, but if we used non plastic materials for so long, and it worked fine, I see no reason to put plastic in there.
