Would be nice to see more plastic actually recycled.
Of course, not sure how many microplastics this process leaves behind. I have some biodegradable plastic bags for mycology sitting on a shelf because I don't want to be feeding my vermicompost microplastic.
Yeah, microplastics seem to be overlooked too often when people talk about plastic recycling "solutions". The worst one I've ever seen was a video where they cut a plastic bottle into strands and then made a broom out of them...
It's much better than making a new broom out of plastic. It also avoids carbon melting the plastic into pellets then remelting into a new mold.
