Yes, life-like sex dolls contribute to plastic waste, primarily due to the materials used in their construction. These dolls are often made from non-biodegradable plastics like PVC and thermoplastics, which persist in landfills for hundreds of years. While they are durable and long-lasting, the disposal of these dolls at the end of their life cycle poses a significant environmental challenge. The manufacturing process also involves large amounts of plastic, adding to the overall plastic waste generated by the industry. However, as consumer demand for eco-friendly products increases, manufacturers are beginning to explore alternatives to traditional plastic-based materials. By developing new, more sustainable options, there is hope for reducing the plastic waste associated with life-like sex dolls in the future.
