I never understood why it couldn't just be melted back down, even if it's not suitable for whatever parts it could still be used in something like insulation, packing foam, etc.

There’s more kinds of plastic than you can imagine, and the ones which can be treated like this need to be kept uncontaminated by other kinds of plastic for the process to work. There aren’t that many kinds which can, though.

And, yeah, it’s more expensive than new plastic.

Because of plastic chat I went to see if reusable slow cooker liners are a thing, and apparently they are! I wonder how well they work?

A lot of the reactionaries that Musk follows seem to sincerely believe any effort to address climate change is simply a front to control the population for nefarious means. You saw this with Covid, and it'll inevitably come up on the next major disaster that happens.
