When will we acknowledge that industry's "voluntary" controls are a smokescreen to cover their continued bad acts? That only a small percentage of plastic is responsibly recycled?

This Startup’s AI Designs Enzymes That Can Eat Plastic Waste
In a lab tucked away in an old gun factory in New Haven, Connecticut, a machine heated plastic waste to 536 degrees Fahrenheit and spat out gloopy strings of material that start to harden when they hit the air. This substance made of textiles and post-industrial scrap that were destined for a landfill will be ground to bits to create as much surface area as possible. Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using […] -

Polymer Editing Can Upcycle Waste Into Higher Performance Plastics
Adam Malin/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material. Upcycling may help remedy the roughly 450 million tons of plastic discarded worldwide annually, of which only 9% gets recycled; the rest is incinerated or winds up in landfills, oceans or elsewhere……Continue […] -
