Recovering? It that the term for reusing the plastic?
Are grocery bags made of one of the bad plastics, unlike beverage bottles, that is hard to recycle?

So which type of plastic does these bacteria eat? Or are these bacteria so destructive as to become an Andromeda Strain? All those women with plastic surgeons are in trouble.

Whatever type they make plastic bags from, that's all he tested. The article didn't say what type of bags, either... shopping? trash? sandwich?
I still don't understand where you came up with $1.25/$1.50 per bag?

Sorry. I get distracted by things that are actually important. What was that question? Oh. What kind of plastic would be consumed? That plastic is a problem only when it goes where recylcing (and microbes) cannot get at it. Sounds like these microbes are a solution still looking for a problem. Plastics that are problematic are ones that escape the recycling bin. That microbe solution is woefully ill-defined by unanswered questions such as which type of plastics get eaten, what are those plastics converted into, why is this method better than existing recycling methods, and what will protect those medical wonders from Silicon Valley? |
