There is a huge amount of very cheap stainless steel goods available now. I have some kitchen ware 20yrs old and still as good as new. i hope that my set may still be in use in 50 years time. This is a real concern as stainless steel uses huge amounts of nickel and chrome which have very limited total availability on the planet. I never see this mentioned on green sites so thought I would bring it up. If we do use it well then it is saving much energy and resources but if we treat it as expendable and throw it out through fashion then it may not be an option two generations on.
