    That’s nice and all but these are fungi release CO2 into the atmosphere just like burning it would. It’s a bit counter-intuitive but burning it with carbon capture is less CO2 emitting.

    Filtering out particles is obvious requirement and easier than filtering CO2. This is all a worse solution than to simply use less plastic. Taxing plastic out of existence is the real solution.

      Preach.

      Everyone wants a silver bullet to the problem. The silver bullet begins and ends with a corporate pocketbook.

      But the plastic already is captured carbon. Burning it and then capturing it again makes no sense at all.

      If you want to avoid the micro plastic, store it better, that’s still much cheaper.
