probably still plastic, but highly biodgradable, plus they can easily recycle them using replicators. since most of the microplastic that we absorb, comes from water, containers. trek wouldnt have that problem since it will the replicators recycling it back to ship resources. since when your done eating with utensils, they always put it in the replicators to be recycled.
Isn’t the microplastic problem increased with biodegradability since that’s what they typically degrade into? If replicators can do the recycling effectively, there doesn’t seem to be a need for something to be biodegradable.
