    Somehow I doubt hips and wheelchairs are among the top offenders

      Well, stop and think about all those plastic medical devices that get used. Everything from syringes to hips, to air tubing, to the packaging of sterilized surgical instruments. That’s a metric carp tonne of plastics. There are a LOT of life threat level safety devices that use plastics also.

      We probably don’t need to bottle soda pop or water in plastic bottles, but the use of plastics will never go away.
