1. Solid idea, grows fast, natural and won’t fill our blood streams, scrotums and other orifices.

3. Cellulose from plants can produce plastic-like containers and items *and* have many benefits of not using petroleum, such as being bio-degradable, for one. See, for example, [Robust, high-barrier, and fully recyclable cellulose-based plastic replacement enabled by a dynamic imine polymer](https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2020/ta/d0ta02138e).
