GTSnake Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 I think they skipped a step in the reprocessing of ocean plastics. They said it's washed then extruded. You can't extrude hard plastics it has to be melted first then extruded. But the surprising thing is how much effort and energy is spent in gathering and processing this waste material and still comes out cheaper than making new.
