Discarded plastic, too often, ends up buried or burned, not
recycled (it's just too complicated). But Mike Biddle has found a way to
close the loop. Only 5- 10% of plastic trash is recycled -- compared to almost 90% of
metals -- because of the massively complicated problem of finding and
sorting the different kinds. Frustrated by this waste, Mike Biddle has
developed a cheap and incredibly energy efficient plant that can, and
does, recycle any kind of plastic.
Biddle has developed a patented 30-step plastics recycling system that
includes magnetically extracting metals, shredding the plastics, sorting
them by polymer type and producing graded pellets to be reused in
industry – a process that takes less than a tenth of the energy required
to make virgin plastic from crude oil. Today, the company he cofounded,
MBA Polymers, has
plants in China and Austria, and plans to build more in Europe, where
electronics-waste regulation (which doesn’t yet have an equivalent in
the US) already ensures a stream of materials to exploit – a process
Biddle calls “above-ground mining.
