Do we wonder why? Bet that figure hasn't changed much has it?
I'll stick to the steel and plaswad option but I can see the little bits of plastic being next on the hit list and we only have ourselves to blame if we start getting criticised for that, which we will.
A bit of joined-up thinking regarding the other components of a cartridge wouldn't have gone amiss when our sporting organisations signed us up for a voluntary lead ban.
Eley have brought out cartridges with bio-degradable wads. How long it will be before the wads can be bought from them, if ever, is anyones guess.
I think it would make sense to market the wads. It is good for the environment and good advertising for Eley.
