Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution. That has not stopped them from promoting it, according to a new report.

“The companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve caused.”

        Yes, but hemp needs far fewer chemicals and it is biodegradable. Plus it needs far less land to produce fiber.

          Less land to produce fiber compared to what? If it’s vertically farmed, I’d be happy with it. Though I’d move as much farming as I can to vertical farming to free up land for nature.

                  Ah, you are talking about paper and carboard. I thought you meant cotton fibre. As long as it can be recycled.

                    Thread is made out of the material that is separated from the Hurd. Any seeds you get are 30% oil by volume, and they are high in protein. Basically the entire plant has built in uses, and I want it to become an everyday product. This is basically a full drop in replacement for corn only 100% usable.
