Will that apply to latex, such as condoms? Is latex a form of plastic. If they are a form of plastic maybe they should be designated for multi-use. Ouch.

No big deal, just hold it upside down and shake the fuck out of it......

Latex is rubber and is biodegradable, however latex condoms typically are treated with an additive that prevents bacteria from degrading them as well as other compounds to increase their strength and flexibility, and thus are not really biodegradable. That said, condoms are generally considered to be a net positive, because they help keep the population under control. The number of humans that don’t exist because of condom use far outweighs the environmental impact of disposable condoms.
