htmXlabs··on Htmx: High Power Tools for HTML
The reasons however are not so valid anymore in 2026. Plain HTML has lots of extra features that did not exist in 2010 (form-validation and input-types, canvas, fetch, history-API), and some shortcomings have disappeared (like 'Flash of Unstyled Content'.)

Endless scrolling (made popular by Facebook/react) used to be heavy on the browser and sometimes made mobile devices unresponsive. That is not an issue anymore.

Tbh, I can't name a single issue we have today that requires large client-side frameworks for a fix.

"PET bottles on the Dutch market averaging 44% recycled PET content in 2023". Also, many other products: Fleece jackets are made out of bottles. That's up-cycling, afaik. And lots of packaging materials (bags, shampoo bottles, etc). If it is economical depends on many factors, and can be different in each country. Landfill may be cheap in the US, but extremely expensive in European countries, because there's no un-used land.

but yes, what can't be recycled is epoxy (also a plastic).

that is a misleading number. In my country it is almost 100%.

Most gets recycled, the rest used as fuel in energyplants. The real problem is the 10 countries in the world that are responsible for 90% of dumping stuff in the rivers (all in south asia and africa).

patent and trademark are different things. patents are usually for protecting a technology, trademark is for protecting a name.

Set a price, perhaps they'll buy it. That is a lot easier for them as well.

But still, a trademark only applies when in the same industry (competitors), so if your project has nothing to do with real-estate (or SaaS for real-estate), there should not be any issue.
