I can identify more with your new claims.

Your original claim was about coming from a natural source. You say that "thermoplastic derivative of polystyrene".

ABS is derived from acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene.

Acrylonitrile is a produced from propylene (from fossil fuels, but it occurs in nature as a byproduct of vegetation and fermentation processes) and ammonia (also occuring in nature, but commercially produced by catalytic combining of the natural gasses nitrogen and hydrogen.

Butadiene is a naturally occurring petroleum hydrocarbon - I suppose about as natural as the sulphur used to make hard rubber.

Styrene is made by dehydrogenation of ethyl benzene — a hydrocarbon obtained in the reaction of ethylene and benzene. Ethylene is an important plant hormone, but produced commercially using ethanol (the booze alcohol) and aluminium oxide, very common naturally in the environment, while benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, which is natural - I guess about as natural as the sulphur used for hard rubber.

I wonder if mining sulphur and putting it on the surface of the planet is any more environmentally friendly than digging up the same quantity of crude oil.

How much of that sulphur eventually becomes acid rain, killing the likes of the Black Forest?

More questions than answers.
