"Plants that are used to make the product can be replaced."

Reason: plant-based materials are renewable—you can regrow crops—so they reduce reliance on finite fossil fuels. They also tend to be more biodegradable and can have a lower overall environmental impact. The statement that all plant-based products cost more than petroleum-based ones is not generally true and is not an advantage.
