There’s no breakthrough until a business plan exists to resell for a profit, otherwise it’s as recyclable as plastic.

- sojournerc 3y agoYou don't think there is a market for recovered cobalt? I see your point regarding recyling, but plastic just isn't as valuable as cobalt, given the relative difficulty of extraction.
- overstay8930 3y agoOf course there’s a market for it, but if you can’t sell it for a profit then it doesn’t matter how much of a breakthrough your recycling project is. Plastic is trivial to recycle but it’s cheaper to buy new plastic than to buy recycled plastic.
