As a scientist, as a human being, as a citizen of earth, I say it's insanity. Industry has proven that they cannot self-regulate. They lied to us about recycling for the last 50 years in saying, “No, no, it's okay; we've got a fix.” They lied. It doesn't work. It's been proven that it's more dangerous to try to recycle it than it is to bury it.
The material needs to stop. We need to make regulations. The government needs to do this. We need to stop greenwashing that we think there's a way to do this. It's not going to happen any time soon. It doesn't matter if it's enzymes, bacteria, fungus or insects that they try to get to make it work; none of them ever make it to a scalable stage. It doesn't work.
