      While this is technically possible it is not a cost effective solution to plastic recycling.

      Psychotic capitalism at its finest. Instead of addressing the issue with huge corporations creating plastic for literally everything, they create a new industry to deal with the problem instead of stopping the source of the problem. They act like it’s some unstoppable mystery why plastic is in everything. Maybe force the gigantic cooperations that are the worst offenders in plastics to fund research to replace plastic instead of creating a solution to deal with plastic. I wonder what horrible gasses are a byproduct of “vaporizing” plastic.

      You could put it in a landfill where it’s going to stay for millions of years, or you can burn it up, get a nice smokey smell and let the smoke go up into the sky where it turns into stars!!

      Chlorine is “nothing but gas”, and it turns our lungs to acid.

      This is a stupid headline.

    5. Friendly reminder that in the EU almost half of all plastics is already recycled.

      You just need this crazy thing called taxes to sway the market.

      Direct nuclear strikes can also turn ANYTHING into nothing but gas. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

      The same kind of gas that we breath? How will they compete with microplastics for space in my body
