Cool
Why tho
Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic
doesn't metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?
But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.
"Honey, I accidently digested our SD card again"
True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

Uranium
that's...
I somehow doubt that.
Uranium baseball cups. Not physically possible to throw a baseball hard enough to damage the goods, plus it helps combat the effects of overpopulation.
I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too
Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn't a problem.
Steel or stainless ain't gonna give you metal poisoning
Stainless steel leaches nickel and chromium.
Better toss all your cookware then
I'll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it's made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn't matter what it is made out of, it's going to pollute.
What a downvote Nancy.
probably, but then i can ingest less micro plastics. Which is probably good.
at least its not a single use product, the packaging it comes in is probably a worse contributor
honestly, this might be true. There are definitely worse things to be made from metal lol
People will pay more money for premium.
But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.
sounds pretty metal
Maybe extreme weather conditions for trail cams? That's the only reason I would think about using one but never actually buy one for lol.

Cause it's metal.
