matrixmannAnyone's already seen the latest craze - shopping carts with the basket area entirely made of plastic?
Only the wheel area and their legs that connect to the basket made of metal?
One of those things which make you ask how much the appeals to you personally to use less plastic in life to go easier on the environment are actually meant seriously...

Other than that, I can't come up for a reason why one should start to make those parts of plastic.
They aren't that weight-heavy while pushing around, but seriously, put two bags of potatoes in it or a six-pack of any sort of drinks of your choice and then this thing gets harder to push around again... So, what the heck...?
