So much of what we “Recycle “ goes into the trash. This looks like a promising development. I wonder if the cost is competitive with making new plastics?

Anything that truly "recycles" into something new is excellent. I do know that TREX uses plastic bags as part of their process for making "deck material/lumber"

Great invention if it is cost effective and can be done in mass quantiles.
