It’s true. Give me a hot and dense enough furnace and I’ll recycle everything into iron. EVERYTHING.
- Even denser and I'll make it neutronium.
  ... But not too dense or it becomes ???.
  
  Hawking radiation.... eventually.
- Wouldn't the hot part actually make it harder...? All you want is density and as little to counter gravity as possible.
  
  Fair enough, though I promise at those pressures things get spicy.
  
  Its harder but its necessary i guess. For ionisation
- we already have one
- The factory must grow.
- @pennomi @fossilesque by launching trash into sun? :blobthinksmart: :ablobcool: :blobthinkingcool:
  
  @pennomi @fossilesque Sun's nuclear fusion can make atoms up to iron.

Deep down chemists know all chemistry is physics, and that fact makes their bones tremble.
- And all physics is just statistics
  
  And all statistics are damned lies.

They're not recyclable yet. In a few years when we have Mr. Fusions and replicators, things will be different.
- Lol literally Recycling everything made of particles would be pretty sick

They are making plastic out of strange quarks!?
- What a quarky process recycling is!

plastic bottles are recyclable
- PET bottles yes, other plastic bottles not so much, or at least until someone figures out a way to turn plastic trash into a cheap alternative to petroleum.
- Not really. Plastic gets damaged when heating it up to melting temps. You won't get a product that has the same properties, unlike with aluminium for instance. You can maybe get away with adding a small percentage of recycled pellets back in, but that's it.
  
  Metals are also not 100% recyclable due to contamination. We just have plenty of use for low grade metal alloys.
  
  fair enough

were 99% binding energy anyway
