Which is what Mizu answer was!

I just showed my dad you pic and his answer was “thats a by product of sugar cane”

Is that your train track? Or a google image?

I just showed my dad and told him he should do it for his train track!

Pretty sure that it’s made from petrol, like most plastics????? Not very enviro friendly at all, which is prob why ya see more and more companies using recycled brown cardboard that’s moulded into shape for packin????
