To be fair, we don't need it to overtake, or even come close to, the entire plastic industry. It'd already be nice if it, and other sustainable materials, could chip away at different uses of petroplastics.

My point is that Cork is so laughably far away from making a meaningful dent.

It's orders of magnitude away from even taking out 1%.

Would be nice if we could invent a way to produce and 3D print cork in factories.

I don’t know about printing but there’s various methods for liquifying and expanding cork. E.g. spray cork insulation and moldable cork ski boot liners.

Like artificial “meats” there’s going to be a lot of artificial things in “printing” “cork” plain old plastics might be better.
