I don't think this will ever be used to recycle micro plastics. Just grinding up plastic is way more economical.
10 1 ReplyYou're suggesting we lower the amount of plastics by grinding up more plastic?
7 1 ReplyNo, they're saying that companies that want graphene would probably grind up plastic rather than pay to extract microplastics from the environment.

most microplastics come from car tires and breaks. its there BECAUSE it's been ground.
