Earlier tonight I was looking at an advertisement for trash bags made out of “ocean bound plastic”. The whole concept seems patently absurd — in much of world there isn’t much strategic dumping of waste plastic into the ocean. Recovery from plastics, from the ocean, seems kind of a joke too, as any resin is likely highly contaminated with dirt and debris, to say nothing of the damage to the material from salt and sunlight. All things that video I posted earlier confirms. Like so many green-marketing products these days, it’s pretty much a scam.
