I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Like Mike said; dishwashability. Makes it a lot easier and quicker to sanitize.Not a huge tree hugger, but I can’t understand why anyone would want to use plastic anything if there is a better or equal solution that is natural. I do understand it can be recycled but that process is also not the best thing for the environment. Just saying why?
Justin also has some fair points; wood is not without downsides. It does require at least some maintenance. And especially for boards that have to get washed / sanitized often that maintenance requirement goes up since you're essentially washing out the oil in the outer layer. Which is why personally - even while sharing your dislike for plastics - I still have seperate plastic boards for raw meats. Though I'm open for alternatives that aren't priced at Hasegawa level.
