@SteveJB @agowa338 @greenpeace every problem you've raised is a standard process engineering problem with known solutions.
@greenpeace it isn't in the planet's interest to spread misinformation.
I've been a chemical engineer for the better part of a decade and plastic recycling is definitely both chemically and financially feasible. I've worked on this myself. It will, however, take huge amounts of investment and a couple decades.
This doesn't take away from the fact that we need companies to stop producing virgin plastic.
It's literally in the slogan "reduce, reuse, recycle" - reducing is the first priority.
