How long has the problem of #PlasticWaste been recognized? How long ago did the #BigPlastic (everyone from chemical companies to users like#CocaCola, #Pepsi & #Nestlé ) talked about #recycling? 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?

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 […] -

back in the early heyday of #plastics, the great conjecture was that it was just a matter of time until we found an easy, natural way to break down plastics and make them reusable.
I bought in—I made the scientific leap that let me follow that conjecture—that some bacteria or enzyme or process would be found soon for the #plasticwaste.
60 years of #BigChem promises and profit taking, with no discoveries—and those made even less likely by their lack of corporate responsibility..
