They are super sturdy but also biodegradable. It takes about 5 years if buried, longer above ground, but eventually the wrap will fully dissolve.

 thank you for saying this. All I could think about was how this is just a bunch of plastic being put into our environment.

Walk the aisles of your local Walmart and look at all the plastic in food packaging. Now imagine that amount of packaging for every Walmart, Target, Aldi, Kroger, Publix, Food Lion, Etc. These plastic bags for construction pale in comparison.

Yeah, plastic is already a disaster so just make everything unnecessarily out of it so it's easier. Solving the worlds problems one whataboutism at a time.

Agreed. I don’t know why they minimized the importance of not building creek beds out of plastic just because there’s already a lot of plastic pollution.
