It would be funny for there to be a massive sewage management issue in every major population center, at least
Overall though, maybe we shouldn’t be relying on pipes that slowly poison the environment through the slow shedding of microplastics anyways. As ridiculously painful as the transition would be in this case
lots of medical implants are made of plastic. A great number of medical equipment is also made of plastic. Plastic is used ib critical components in everything from airplanes to powerplants. There’s not a lot of things that have the same durability, flexibility, and weight as plastic.
It would really suck if all plastic actually degraded. A better solution imo is to just stop using it for packaging. It’s only marginally more expensive to replace it with wax coated paper in the vast majority of cases.
