    the thing about this is that yes, CURRENTLY plastic recycling fucking sucks, but if we ACTUALLY BUILT SOME FUCKING RECYCLING FACILITIES that would change…

    here in sweden we’re building a recycling facility in Motala that will be able to properly recycle a good chunk of our plastic packaging, it’s clearly doable, let’s fucking build them.

      what kind of recycling plant, because it matters greatly as of efficiency

      if you just want to remelt it, then sure, it works pretty well, but you have to have that plastic sorted by type and clean, and then you need to have a use case that would accept potentially unsanitary plastic

      or you could just say fuck it all, and treat is as a kind of extremely heavy crude, but this is pretty inefficient, kg per kg
