I kind of feel it is going to end up being used in food packaging, marketed along the lines of smart-packaging. Not sure how well the sensor market is and if some could be built in if not already, but it sure does seem to be that such cheap plastic chips only lean themselves being a cheap disposable item.
What value they will add, may well vary, but a few pennies upon many items they would be targeting, well those items mostly borderline latent-landfill at best and whilst it is cheap upfront. Is it cheap to recycle or more costly? Equally the enviromental risks of the ones not recycled is often overlooked and easy to say something is recyclable when that depends upon every single one being recycled. many recyclable plastic waste in the environment already, so I'm somewhat of mixed feelings about this in the respect of how it may well pan out being utilized.
- chillingeffect 4y agoThere will be a mixture of beneficial and wasteful uses. Ppl will say the good outweighs the bad bc they don't know how to measure environmental and personal health outcomes. Ppl who question it will be villified and called luddites for besmirching the godly triology of Innovation, Science, and Dopamine. But the true crazies will be the ones connecting it to defending our country and saving children.
