It's not a zero sum game. There are other projects tackling garbage collection and processing on land as well.

Saying we shouldn't do something because it isn't profitable is what got us into this mess in the first place. Since we've been shitting where we eat, it's about time where we need to start eating our own shit metaphorically. It's better to do this than do nothing. If something more cost efficient comes out in a few years, sure that's great, but we don't quite have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines and waiting/hoping for that to happen.

Apparently there's plastic in our salt and drinking water now, so we are officially eating our own pollution.
