It's a brave new world that we are looking at,when we have to do like they have been doing all over the third world and go through our dumps to survive.

Imagine large scavenger digester ships cruising the oceans and turning the plastic flotsam into energy.

It's got to be much better to capture plastic waste for recycling before landfilling, eh?

Hopefully, the methane will have been fully removed, lest we release even more GHG's.
