Hi Mark,

What I wrote about came from a newly published paper describing a novel invention. I wish haste preoccupied researchers when they come up with something new. But my guess is that the technology is replicable, and if it remains as inexpensive as the inventors profess, we will see it become widely adopted. Recycling programs have been ineffective around plastic. That's why so much of it ends up in our lakes, rivers and oceans, and in the gut of wildlife and ourselves. See: 

I understand your impatience. I'm not convinced after looking at how my neighbours recycle that general consumers understand the necessity of disposing of plastic using circular economic principles.
