"Mass production" shouldn't mean lower quality.

 

The original idea was that it resulted in consistently higher quality - that's what standardisation was all about.

It all started going down hill when alloy wheels replaced steel wheels with 'hub-caps'.

My boat hasn't any wheels, steel or alloy!

They steal steel? They'll be selling seashells on the seashore next.

Setting to one side your recent ablation of the ulmar collateral ligament, I know perfectly well where steel comes from. It isn't a secret (steelsustainability.org, for example).

 

"Steel is the most recycled material on the planet, more than all other materials combined. Steel retains an extremely high overall recycling rate, which in 2014, stood at 86 percent. The amazing metallurgical properties of steel allow it to be recycled continually with no degradation in performance, and from one product to another.

The sources for steel scrap are plentiful".

 

Why is Liverpool Boats any different from any other builder in the content of the steel it uses?

C'mon you are not that out of touch.

Coming to a supermarket near you...

 

Steel shopping bags! They could make them in a mesh for lightness and even stick a wheel on each corner of big ones to aid mobility.  Not only the ultimate in recycling but, if some moron chucks 'em in the sea, they'll sink and become part of an artificial reef! Win-win!

why doesn't someone invent a simple bag made of netting sourced from sustainable organic materials.  ....................  and simple single use bags made from a cheap biodegradable material?

 

 

 

................................   oh, hang on, a string carrier bag and brown paper bags!!

 

our addiction to synthetics is suicidal for us and homicidal for the planet.  We could cure 99% of the packaging problem tomorrow if we and the politicians had a will to do so.   Unfortunately we and they do not, and the end is nigh.
