I'd certainly still be asking for cardboard -
I find it awfully difficult to keep a firm grasp on a
plastic mount, for one, and it is difficult both to secure
labels to them and/or to write on them. As long as they can
be made with recycled paper I see no harm to the environment
in cardboard ones - I'm not really knowledgeable enough to
get into the details of that, but it is a mildly educated
guess.

It very much depends on whether you project very much or not. The card mounts
deform easily when the projector arm pushes them into the breech. Then the
arm will miss & possibly cause a jam. This might not be true of the Kodak
Carousel machines, of which I have ltd experience.
Kind regards
