New subscription model coming to plastics! Products last only 13 weeks.

I know - long lived plastics are bad. We need some kind of middle ground thats as cheap as the current plastics and doesn't last as long.

Its called paper, wood, glass, ceramics or metal depending how long you want it to be around for and what you are putting in it.

Only lasts 13 weeks in soil. It presumably lasts a whole lot longer when you don't bury it in the ground.

We go through a lot of single-use plastics.
