Wildlife filmmaker Sir David Attenborough has appeared in a video campaign for a new plastic recycling technology in the U.K., alongside other naturalists calling for stronger protections for the world’s oceans.
Disclaimer: I didnt watch their video but did read the article.
How does this:
Mura’s recycling process, branded HydroPRS, took 12 years to develop and uses supercritical steam—steam that is superheated under great pressure—to break down plastics back into the oils and chemicals they were made from. Those components can then be used for a range of products, from new plastics to fuels.
Help long term, wouldnt we just be moving the problem from one section to another? Im thinking that the fuel isnt clean burning, the manuafactoring process wont be able to be used purely with components freed by this method, etc.
I can see some definitive ways it helps, but didnt know if anyone has a better handle on some of the implications.
