Big dog 2 months... If you knew how companies figure out their pollution metrics you would be very sad.

As for a better metric, I don't know. Everything is tied to cost so it's really dumb

I know this is a funny haha but NGL I'd rather have this bleak future than revert back to 1997 with FOSS alternatives.

It was not 'pictures of monkeys' it was art. It was digital art. If you don't get that then you don't understand money laundering.

Sending plastic to the landfill that doesn't decompose anaerobically is essentially the same as sending regular plastic. Also, using shitty material that has a shorter shelf life also means it allows for planned obsolescence for items you wouldn't have thought was possible. For instance that can allow companies to put best use by dates on a refrigerator, home insulation, soles on shoes etc. For single use items it would make it so stock would be thrown out if not consumed more frequently. We would end up sending even more plastic to the landfills.

I remember I spoke with the professor at UCSD working on this eTPU alternative to regular PUR this article is referencing a few years back. He was frothing at the mouth of selling this as a product as he was eager to talk with big companies to sell the research, it turned me off 100%. I asked if it decomposes just as well anaerobically and he said it's not intended to be used outside of composting scenarios. It also has little shelf life and more hygroscopic which reduces use performance over time. So there we have it. Another green wash situation. Your composter is NOT going to accept this when they see it x10000000
