So. Is there a good way to isolate and harvest microplastics from …anything? Because the problem with microplastics is that they are practically everywhere by now and you’d probably like to get them out from everywhere.
I’ve been doing my part and trying real hard to get em out of my balls.
they are everywhere, but you could probably get them out of SOME stuff, some point in the ecosystem you could use as a removal vector, so when they hit that point in the plastic cycle, they can be cleaned up. like how we mostly control mosquito populations by going after stagnant water.
Goodgutdamn this better be true and work.
Right?! lol
I don’t think this will ever be used to recycle micro plastics. Just grinding up plastic is way more economical.
You’re suggesting we lower the amount of plastics by grinding up more plastic?
No, they’re saying that companies that want graphene would probably grind up plastic rather than pay to extract microplastics from the environment.
That’s the only way to melt it efficiently…
most microplastics come from car tires and breaks. its there BECAUSE it’s been ground.
Yall excited for this, but all our balls are full of microplastics.
I guess if we’re lucky, someday they’ll upgrade it to graphene.

I would love to see a technical breakdown video of how this works.
Same!
