oxygen free environment turn into a gas condense and filter
make plastic into oil like making alcohol, but hotter and harder.
China no longer takes it, gets ship to Indonesia and it is not cleaned their like it is in china, Expected outcome increase in disease real outcome increase in plastic eating bacteria
1. separating and remelting plastic
2. pyrolyze plastic back into flammable gas and liquid plastic monomers
3. sell the pyrolyzed plastic monomers leaveymer manufacturers at a discount
4. or just make fabric and thread
5. start ww3 so plastic recycling becomes profitable on a large scale
t. i don't know shit
Recycling plastic is a meme
Or can't be "recycling" means you burn it and make electric from it in a third world country without EPA laws.
It's a shit material and youre a shit person for purchasing it b the first place.
i never buy my spores from amazon, but its the first link on google
basically mushroom eat plastic, not all kinds and you have to shred it first. but it will eat it all day. you could eat the mushroom after, or toss it in your compost. or for me bc im paranoid about microplastics, i keep them in a seperate compost. not that a hungry mushroom leaves much plastic behind. i just dont like messing around
HDPE you can just put in blender, melt in oven and then press into a mould.
Not all plastics can be re melted as well, but afaik you can take some good HDPE and mix in tiny shreds of worse plastic to create a mixed ‘block’ with varying mechanical properties (eg harder or more flexible). It will have a terrazzo kind of look
there's a documentary somewhere, maybe netflix about how big oil sold the lie that plastic was recyclable. The reality is that you can, but it produces worse plastic, it COSTS MORE than making new plastic, and those stupid triangle symbols that were the genius thought of big oil are worthless because there aren't just two or three types, but countless types that don't mix well.
ok, not netflix, i think this is it on pbs https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/plastic-wars/
and maybe not big oil, but big plastic, which is closely related.
The best thing is probably one of those plastic bottle to filament setups.
Chopping shitnup and injection molding is a b***h and you need fresh shit
>he still believes plastic is recyclable
LMAO
It is, but it's not cost effective, so all waste companies just ship it to china to throw in the ocean.

You can do all kinds of cool shit with HDPE and you probably have 20 containers in your house that are made from it. I like doing soup can mallets
melt HDPE with electric irons/oven.

Sorry if you can't handle the truth
Throw it in a dumpster and dont worry about it. There are 2-3 more generations before itll really be a problem.

It's expensive and energy intensive, but it works. http://preciousplastic.com/solutions/machines/overview.html

Are younthat dahgot that comes into everything whinging about microplastics but you're so fucjing dumb you don't know when they're biodegradable
not him but 'biodegradable' is BS, they just degrade into nanoplastics or not at all
At some point it's just dust bro
Plastics don't last for shit particularly under UV.
Everyone in school always awww hurry don't use plastic they gonna last a hundred gorillion years.
Meanwhile the plastic bag no one has picked up evaporates.
There's a poweful utility in cheapness. That cheapness factors in a low of costs.
Everything else is more expensive. Plastic bags are amazing tech. They should come back
>it's just dust bro
Its microplastic in your bloodstream
microplastic are a meme created by companies so they can greenwash. pretty much every human has microplastics and we are fine
>and we are fine
are you sure about that?
Do you ever reuse the plastic bags
Mealworms degrade polystyrene into fertilizer, The Thought Emporium made some videos about it
