Just think about how many used condoms there must be somewhere in the world. All the condoms you’ve ever used. And your grandparents. And theirs. Surely they could be made out of some of those plant-based plastics that are currently being developed?
And don’t get me started about disposable nappies.


Condoms are mostly made of latex, which is biodegradable. This is why they have a use by date, which you absolutely should check. And also why their storage instructions say to keep them in a cool dry place and not in your warm and constantly moving wallet, even if you think you’re a total dawg.
