I hope the paper and cardboard construction they mention is feasible for commercial use. Otherwise I'm picturing a future where drone deliveries are commonplace and these plastic parachutes litter our streets and waterways.

I always assumed that drone delivery was just a publicity stunt (in urban areas anyway). I am hoping that it stays that way. I am really not convinced that a sky full of buzzing drones delivering people's toothpaste and takeaways is a great idea.

But it would probably makes economic sense. A big cost of delivery is the personal that actually does the delivery. It might not be viable for all packages but probably for the premium delivery that promises sub 1 hour delivery.

I think this would actually make me buy less stuff. Like, I can see the neighbors think, oh look, wkjagt getting junk from Amazon AGAIN.

It'll be like living in a late-game Factorio base.

Biopolymer or paper, hopefully.
