I agree that papershells and fiber wads would be a better green way to produce the shells. Unfortunately, in today's world that isn't going to happen. So making a better product that will biodegrade seems to be a desirable option to the shotshell producers.
You may be surprised to know that a large part of the expense of today's shotshell pricing isn't from the plastic but from the brass and steel/nontoxic materials that are also used to make them.
If you believe that "green" shells are just a money making ploy, that's fine, but I don't think a small difference in pricing is going to make or break the shell industry. If it makes someone feel better that they are helping the envirnoment to shoot them, why shouldn't they shoot them?
The way this product works the final broken down product consists of carbon dioxide, water, and biomass consisting of animal waste and plant materials from the organisms that eat the microscopic particles. The main ingredient in the additive is Palm Oil and when used in Polyethylene is FDA approved. In other words, it's not harming the environment while breaking down the plastic.
Thanks for your response.
Okay, we're tied at 4 positive and 4 negative.
