In medieval England damaged old clothing would be left in water with a little lye to break down and then when there's a jelly like emulsion of fibres left it would be lifted out on a mesh and while wet a makers mark would be hammer into it with a dye {hence the term watermark} the then mix would be gently squeezes of most water and then left to dry, producing an extremely high quality parchment.

parchment is made of animal skins. also, the watermark isn't "hammered"into the wet paper. it is pressed with a roller. also, at the time, most paper was made of new linen fibers. wool was an unsuitable fiber, and cotton wasn't terribly widespread. and this was much, much earlier than the discovery of the process used to turn wood pulp into paper.

Planned obsolescence: short term use items need replacing more often, making money for manufacturers and sellers of what amounts to trash. If all the PET bottles in landfills and the ocean could have been made once, reclaimed, sanitized and reused, we'd have enough bottles to last for generations, and the manufacturers would be bankrupt. So, manufacturers must be legally responsible for the full life cycle of every product they make, including all the steps stated above, or they'll just keep making single use trash no matter how bad things get.

Thank you very much for this video! The problem with recycling of plastics is, that it is almost impossible to sort the wide variety of different polymers out, be it due to the lack of the knowledge of the customers, be it because different plastic layers are combined within the same object, be it because of the lack of different containers for PP, PET, PE, PVC, etc. Perhaps a slight help would be the addition of specific pigments with a unique spectral signature in the UV, or VIS or IR light, so that machines could sort (most) of them aautomatically out. On the other hand instead of burning the plastics, you could pyrolyse them (e.g. with solar arrays reflecting the sunlight to its reaction centre at the focal point) and distill the produced vapors to collect the various substances out of it like alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, etc. and the residues of charcoal mixed with S, Cl, F, ... and metals like Al, Sn etc. Landfills are the worst solution.

I absolutely love it! It's about time we all started thinking beyond throwing our old stuff into a bin. This is by far one of my favorite channels!

The fibers mixed with plastic remind me of melmac from the 50s dinnerware made of it is damn near indestructible. You could definitely make lots of useful items with this, and I'm sure that the process will be refined and improved for industrial production.

There are cities build on top of landfills, if done properly it can work. The only problem with landfills is when they are not properly made in respect with protecting the underground waterways, and if you are going to build on top of it, you have to do proper engineering because there can be pockets of gas that turn into holes . I don't know why people think just land-filling plastic doesn't count as a solution, while they still keep dumping on the ocean or sending it to poor countries, which is even worst. Heck, literally burning the plastics in a autoclave with a closed catalyst would do the trick (yes, that emits CO2, but it would be such a tiny amount of CO2, we still have fucking coal burners, heck literally burning plastic instead of coal would be better)

Would you consider making a video on plastic pyrolysis? This is a process that is fast, cheap and easy and does not require sorting of different plastics. Plastic pyrolysis creates a synthetic light crude oil and carbon. The oil can be refined into petoleum products or new plastics. The carbon can be reused or sold. Some plastics also release chlorine and sulfur which need to be managed. Although toxic, these products are also useful in industrial processes.

Plastics and other synthetic materials can be pyrolized into fuel. Plastics and synthetics are made from natural gas or petroleum products to begin with. Through pyrolizing/heating, they can be broken back down into the materials they were originally made from. This would allow the resultant products to be remade into plastic/synthetic or burned as fuel in electrical generators or boilers to desalinate seawater. They are a resource that is not being utilized on a large scale but is being done in some remote areas without other fuel sources.

You are soooooo awesome! I'm a huge fan!

Two things; one we have bacterial enzymes that can decompose plastic over 48 hours, two there is ecology in plastic patches in the ocean that now solely rely on the plastic to live. The latter is why birds are often found trying to plastics. There are snails and fish that look like plastic trash.

Correction: there are bacteria and fungi who can break down plastic. However, they simply do it way too slow. Well, thank Green Activists. They spent 20th century advocating for more plastic use and less wood/paper use.

Props to that guy for saving a minute

Recycled pressed plastic has been used to make make composite timber for a while now. The problem with pressing and cutting is it's slow and wasteful, unless it can be injection moulded it makes more sense to use it for items that can be pressed to final dimension.

There already are some micro-organisms and bacteria eating plastic. In fact, this is one of the discoveries challenging our current ideas on how fast can evolution take place. First examples of this were actually in the early 2000's with the CDR/DVDR eating fungus destroying out burned data (at the time nature seemed not to like piracy hehe)

Please present more information on other plastics and the temperatures and methods of molding?

Lightweight and applied durability to specific tasks; sounds like something SpaceX, Roscosmos, CNSA or any of those space administrations can incorporate into the structure/insulation of large one-way bulk-transportation vehicles to Mars and planets beyond, where they can then be broken down and used for localized planetary construction projects... tho the linen-composite plastic probably won't have great endurance against radiation on Mars than it would against the super-low temperatures.

Plastic is indeed a very versatile material, and quite recyclable, but the energy cost (which translates to money cost) of doing so is still much greater than just sending it to an 'emerging' country in which it will be mismanaged, and eventually ending up in the ocean

Whether your hairbrush is sitting inside on table versus outside doesn't matter. You're still expending energy and further processing plastics and making a carbon footprint. It's like saying "no my soccer ball that sits outside in my yard isn't littering! Only the soccer ball that sits over there in a pile (landfill) is littering!"

Great idea 👍😊

looks like a trabant body panel part to me. perhaps that would be a good use for the compound...body panels.

What I do not get, and I would explore if I had more money, is why plasma processors are not focused on particular substances in order to implement processes of higher efficiencies. For example plasma processing focused on specific materials. A plant designed to process polymers, a plant that is focused on cellulose, tuned specifically to those, and other, substances. Specific focus will lead to efficient processing of materials into methane or syn-gas products which can be used in efficient fuel cells or polymer precursors. Like cellulose can be use for polymer precursors. While either can be used as methane for fuel cells which have have greater efficiencies than other methods of producing electricity.

A solution to the trash problem is incineration with electrical cogeneration.

Where I live, our council/government doesn't even want to deal with garbage so they sold the garbage facilities off to private companies whom immediately made it quite expensive ($35+ per small trailer load) to bring garbage in. The result is more garbage ends up in the environment. Nobody seems to want to pay money to setup the facilities to correctly recycle this stuff, so instead we send everything to places like Vietnam, China, or Korea and let people sort through it by hand for what amounts to breadcrumb like pay! _(and lots of risk to the health of the people sorting this stuff out)_ I honestly don't know when humanity is actually going to really start caring about recycling and waste management; maybe it kills us in the end.....
