It is already annoying, let's just get this over and simply say if it is made of plastic, even in small part , it will release micro plastics .
Because every other day is another "revelation" of something obvious .
Even the paper fast food cups have a plastic liner, which isn't obvious unless you examine it or look into it. It's insane.
How else would paper hold a liquid
Back in my day, they used waxed paper.
