what they don't do, which makes this entire endeavour nothing than egotistical self-satisfied masturbation, is identify the companies found in the waste and impose fines on them.

This is one bit of runoff in one country. Capturing this waste isn't even a rounding error on the amount going into the ocean. It is, quite literally, entirely a waste of resources because it's an anti-solution to the problem.

the river that one flows into is incredibly disgusting and is estimated to account for 2% of the world's plastic ocean pollution

Hubbert: Mar 25, 2007; At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Scientists Create Gummy Bears From Wind Turbines posted:

In a media briefing from the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2022, Dorgan commented, �the holy grail in polymer recycling is always to go from the same application back to the same application.� This is known as �bottle-to-bottle recycling.�

In addition to reusing the resin to create more wind turbine components such as blades, it can be combined with other materials to make sinks or countertops for household use. The team produced cultured stone by mixing the resin, which Dorgan and his team have used to create a full-sized bathroom sink. The recovered material can be combined with other plastic resins for injection molding, which can be used to create consumer goods like speakers, blenders, and laptop coverings.

Not stopping there, Dorgan and his team turned from physical to chemical processing of the thermoplastic resin. By digesting the resin in an alkaline solution, the team could extract poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), also known as plexiglass. This material can be used to create taillights for automotive manufacturing and other products.

Poly (methacrylic acid) was also produced by increasing the temperature during alkaline digestion. Dorgan and his team also recovered food-grade potassium lactate, which they used to make some gummy bear candies. Although Dorgan had a taste, he admitted there may be some pushback from people trying candies like this in the future.

Another hurdle is the lack of enough bioplastic material to create enormous structures like wind turbines. Dorgan expressed that there would need to be a significant production volume of the resin material to make this possible.

i wonder if they banked carbon credits in case it burned down to make it "net zero"
