TileGreen, which started three years ago, aims to make the country’s construction industry more environmentally friendly.
So much blablabla. Where do they get it from? What “tiny shards” are that supposed to be? Why do they then mention regular plastic waste, which are clearly not “tiny shards”? How stable is the product they make (both time and force)? What can it actually be used for? Does it need new plastic mixed in? Is it going to break down to micro plastic real quick? This is pure green washing.
Seems to be a greenwashed scam I would say based on their website. Their tech document is highly suspect.
Plastic waste recycling is primarily done by shedding the plastic into tiny shards. Sometimes it’s even sorted by color
This is bad, why? Because our problem is plastic production, any reuse that does not reduce production is meaningless at it would all still break down into microplastics and new plasticts would still be produced.
Nor recycling, no reuse, just abolishing the wode spread use of plastic. Plastic should be kept for tasks that are not convinced based, but rather exclusive to plastic (like medical usage, not like saving costs cause it’s cheap)
