    yeah, i’ll just take my stinky seafood leftovers down to the neighborhood seafood recycling center so they can scrape all of the renewable energy out of it.

    i hate stupid headlines like this.

      I guess you didn’t get any further than the headline. If you read the article, it says it should be done at the factories producing crab meat.

      We’re already recycling the crab shells:

      [Phillips] operates a plant in Fishing Creek that has offloaded its crab shells to a farmer for use as fertilizer since 2018.

      But if we were to get the chitosan out, we’d need to do it on a large scale:

      [In Asia], Phillips said, four factories in Indonesia, one in Vietnam and another in India process a combined 100,000 pounds of crab meat each week.

        i was specifically complaining about the misleading and click-baity headline-- this isn’t a process that’s really utilized by the article’s audience, the casual reader.
