As part of my (apparently) on-going series on plastics (see this and this post) I have found another TED video discussing those wonderfully manipulable materials.  This one is about a guy who managed to develop a recycling plant and process by which all plastics can be effectively and efficiently converted back into the raw materials from which plastic objects are created (those tiny pellets).

Hope this helps the future as much as he seems to think it will. I’m all for helping the future.
