Plastic harbors bacteria. Every cut makes a tiny groove for the wee folks to inhabit. These folks started researching wood v. plastic back in the 90s: https://cms.johnboos.com/assets/wood-vs-plastic-cutting-boards.pdf

Not to mention all the microplastics that shed on your food when the knife cuts into the board.

Plastic goes in the dishwasher. Wood doesn’t. Plastic is cleaner.

Dishwashers aren’t some magical tool. They just wash so you don’t have to.
Well, that and… I put wood boards through the dishwasher all the time. Not end grain blocks, but regular low profile boards.

I was doing that with a wood board about 7 or 8 years ago, eventually a chunk fell off the side. I kept using it. Then, it warped. That’s when it was tossed and I got a plastic one.
