The Propaganda-Elephant in the Room: there is no such thing as "recycling plastics" - but still the word "recycling" is commonly used, even if the described process very clearly is not about recycling. Obviously, this is a downcycling process which will lead to dissolved plastic in the food chain after a few decades, so this is far away from an ecologically sustainable or clean solution, that might be acceptable for our next generations, it is plain stupid.
The solution is to reglement plastic production to a set of about max. 50 different recipes for different applications that actually can be recycled. Today we have thousands of patent-protected artificial substances called "plastic" and the plastics lobby is extremely strong in suppressing any discussion that goes into that direction.
