Recycling metal isn’t a scam, especially aluminum where a surprisingly high percentage of the amount of aluminum ever produced is still in use and it can be recycled to a pristine state with much less energy than producing from ore.
- j-bos 4y agoAgree, recycling aluminum is not a scam. Talk about plastic ehhhh. Or plastic coated paper. Or overly soiled paper. Or rubber tires.
- colechristensen 4y agoThere are actually some developing technologies which really do transform some polymers back to plastic precursors which could recreate full quality materials, but these are all at a pilot project stage or earlier. But really until we get to a renewable majority power production, any garbage with carbon in it should just be burned in power plants designed for that kind of thing.
