minus-squarezout@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoFrom other times something like this came up: The rate of conversion is too low It will only eat plastic if other carbon sources aren’t available Probably more, this is from the top of my head. Also, this will still cause the plastic to eventually be converted into CO2 which is released in the atmosphere.
minus-squareWeeSheep@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoI see this every couple years (I think it’s the same). The fungus can only degrade very few plastic types, like Styrofoam.
minus-squarePerogiBoi@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoFantastic. Styrofoam is not recyclable like Polypropylene or even the Polyethylenes. Styrofoam ends up in landfills. I want it in mushrooms. It’s not the magic bullet but it’s a fucking howitzer. Yas kween.
minus-squarescutiger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoStyrofoam is technically recyclable, it’s just that there are very few facilities that handle it.
