      I don't agree that the states should be responsible. I believe that it is the companies that are creating the plastics to begin with.
      They lobbied for this mess they should pay to clean it up.

    From what I saw the biggest issue with plastic waste is the various plastics combo to the finished product , this makes seperation difficult EG. A chips packet, almost every country has csir centres dedicated to finding ways to break plastics down , in India there's a innovative way displayed in labs so not sure if it's gone commercial but that process has zero emissions , it's a bio degradable process using chemicals & organisms to absorb the carbon in plastics & the waste generated is eco friendly that can be turned into fertilizer. If only we had listened to the boffs that warned us decades ago but we allowed idiot politicians who scammed us to keep opec countries flush with Petro dollars that has brought us all to the brink of a disaster probably last seen by the earth when the dinosaurs became extinct along with much of nature then , this time it's not aliens , asteroids but us ! We really f..KD up a good thing & for what ? Printed paper that has no cosmic value ! Takeall of the world's richest wealth & put it on another planet - it does nothing , our economic model is flawed neither capitalism nor communism has been able to deliver a viable solution , if we r to ever reach that dream of star trek things have to change rapidly now.

    That's nothing new a Canadian Ukrainian developed a process back in the 1990s and built a plant near New York basically using plastic waste and after heat treatment 5 barrels of Plax and 2 barrels of gas . A British company tried to market their TR7000 meaning processing 7000 tonnes per annum but the company went bust after COVID 19 . You need energy something like 4MW per tonne of plastic good idea but only works if oil is above 120 dollars a barrel. The Plax oil was priced 150 dollars a barrel in 2018 .

      Glass breaks and is a safety hazard. Do you use glassware to teach kids how to eat?
      Glass is heavy, and would waste more energy in its handling and its transport. And lets remember being brittle, glass needs sufficient material to pad their rattling and stay apart from each other, causing less volume. Not only are glassware thicker than a plastic bottle wall thickness, they need to be spaced apart too. A lorry that couldve carried a million drinks normally would only be carrying a few hundred thousands if the drinks were packed in glass. More trucks on the road to satisfy the same demand.
      Glass needs high temperature to remelt/recycle, and will use up more energy and cause more emissions.
      Aluminium needs higher temp than plastic to process too. Cannot be injection moulded and needs really expensive machinery to forge into shape.
      Aluminium is also expensive.
      Also too flimsy when thing to wrap food as bags, unlike plastic bags that actually get tougher when you stretch it (up to a limit).
      Its easy to shoot out suggestions and pretend to be smart, but its clear you have never really given any meaningful thought to the stuff youre saying. I immediately formed these arguments against glass and aluminium as soon as I read your idea.
      Go brainstorm a new idea for material to replace plastics. Lower your ego, and play as a critic against your own ideas. Otherwise you would be churning out half baked ideas and have it be ridiculed so easily
