science

That doesn't sound like a problem but a feature. We love new shiny things and wasting things.

I think if we find materials that breakdown in a useful way, it creates an incentive to make use of those products that have a shelf life. But more importantly creating a waste product that is beneficial.

I didn't know if the material science is there yet. But we need to figure out the best way to use these new materials to change industries.

If we can make something profitable, other people will do the hard part of adopting it and getting it out there.

My work produces sooo much waste. More than all of the staff combined will ever produce. And thats just my branch. We have hundreds of branches and being where we are in canada, we put some of the most amount of effort into recycling. Because its law, not because the company is willing to sacrifice profit by spending resources on anything that doesnt produce value in dollars.

We are small fry, and we arent in a monopoly
