There's nothing inherently wrong with plastic, and there's no shortage of the stuff (as in "no need make more").
My decks (lanai's) are made from recycled grocery bags !!
That source was shut off by a county ordinance !!!
Just think,we could be using all of those bags and make recycled lumber using the heat from Madam Pele.
