Vent: Adopted a bamboo phone case to cut plastic use, but now I'm debating if it's just greenwashing. Thoughts on truly sustainable tech?

Who decides what's truly sustainable if not by trying alternatives like bamboo?

Look at bamboo farming in parts of China, where it's monocropped. The sustainability gets murky when you factor in processing and shipping. Most bamboo fabric is chemically intensive viscose, and that's before it gets shipped globally. The full lifecycle audit is what's missing from most "alternative" claims.
