Ask any nurse or doctor. There is somuch single use plastic used in the medical field that I don't think could be practically replaced with glass, paper, hemp, or something green.
Of course plastic is also lightweight and relatively durable. This makes our cars and airplanes more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, among millions of other uses.
Single use plastic in the medical field is a great example, and was my first thought too. Fuel efficiency seems to be a double edge sword that just extends a resource, but is short sighted.
