And in the process, we started recreating how the plastics industry makes plastics.

Chemistry gave us plastics.

Now because the plastics are so plentiful and by the way, those other methods don't lead to the recovery of plastics, obviously but people do try to recover the plastics.

Plastics are also hard to recycle.

That's where the ability to engineer microbes, the ability to engineer tissues, and the ability to engineer robots begin to lead to a reboot.

They store the plastics on the roofs.

At the end of this process, we have a mixed plastic composite many different types of plastics and many different grades of plastics.

Manufacturing sectors include textiles, cement and plastics.17

Whenever possible, refuse single use and disposable plastics.

Those three trends are the ability to engineer cells, the ability to engineer tissues, and robots.

I'm a process engineer.

We genetically engineer bacteria.

They reverse engineer manuals.

Plastics have overlapping densities over a very narrow range.

And this becomes the currency of the plastics industry.

Plastics have taken the place of many conventional materials.

Monitoring of compliance with no dumping regulations for plastics

In a world that is reliant on plastics, more sustainable production, consumption, and disposal of plastic products is crucial. Civil society, industry, and government must work together to increase the share of recycled plastics, thereby ensuring that plastics costs do not outweigh their benefits.

We reverse engineer lab equipment.

My brother became an engineer.

Trust me, I'm an engineer!

They manufacture plastics. They use large quantities chloroprene and benzene.

But actually, plastics are several times more valuable than steel.

So whenever possible, to choose alternatives to single use plastics.

Increasing the proportion of re used plastics is a crucial step toward more sustainable plastics consumption. To this end, some automobile manufacturers have adjusted their designs to allow for easy disassembly of parts made of compatible plastics, while governments have set recycling target proportions for end of life vehicles.

Although all 40 kinds of plastics used in a North American automobile can be recycled, the need to separate and clean them makes using them more expensive than using virgin plastic resins. This translates into a higher proportion of plastics in the remnants of shredded end of life automobiles a contaminated mixture of plastics and non plastics that is usually disposed of through some combination of landfilling, incineration, and secondary recycling.

It's mostly many types of plastics and many types of metals.

The traditional way to make plastics is with oil or petrochemicals.
