The whole point of plastic is it doesn't desolve . I have a wash basket my mum bought. Its still fine, I played in it as a kid, my kids played in it. It is ficking indestructible !

The new ones last 5 weeks, so instead of buying 1 basket for generations , you have to buy one every couple of months 🙄
