RE: Structural material inspired by nacre as an alternative to plastics

I wonder whether this new material will end up filling the rivers in india as plastics do today. Being durable is something I would like to see for things that are supposed to last years like a bicycle or a car bodies. It might be good to replace these plastics provided at the end of life this material isn't worse for the environment.

We could all do much better for the environment by going back to glass, aluminium, and paper.
