oh boy i can't wait to never hear about this again just like with every other eco-conscious plastic innovation

Part of what makes plastic useful is that it DOESN'T DECOMPOSE.

What's the use-case for stronger than steel material that rots in 3 weeks? State Fair buildings? Concert bleachers?

If you can make plastic bags out of it for groceries that would be useful. Doesn't have to be stronger than plastic though, just equally flexible.
