> polyethylene – a soft, durable and flexible plastic that can now be made with ethanol extracted from sugar cane material and, Lego claims, is as durable as conventional plastic. As a bio-plastic, it can be recycled many times, though it is unlikely to be 100% biodegradable.
As a bio-plastic? polyethylene? What different does it make if your atoms were cycled through a living plant, or a dead plant in the ground (oil)?
From a chemistry point of view it makes no difference.
This is 100% greenwashing, and it relies on gullible reporters not to call them out on their nonsense.
You can make polyethylene from air. Are we calling it atmo-plastic now?
