The cardboard feels cool and it has a sick ass latch system and the crevices underneath between eggs are so cool

          Yeah idk if you can feed it through them more than once. More than scared to add the castings to soil too, all I see is distributing microplastics throughout the entire garden

              The Earth will be just fine, every city is full of animals and plants that thrive in exhaust fumes, motor oil, and human waste. It might not be the same life that we have today, but life on Earth isn't going anywhere.

        If you want to go down a tech click hike: look up pyrolysis videos. You break down polymers into monomers, in styrofoams case, styrene, which can be used as a fuel.

          you can also turn styrene back into styrofoam and other plastics

          chemical recycling is better than mechanical recycling because you don't have to worry about contamination as much, and you don't have to worry about polymers degrading because you're breaking them down and repolymerizing them anyway

          of course, very few recycling plants do chemical recycling at scale because it's unprofitable

      This is actually a common myth. All you will accomplish by attaching egg cartons to your walls is to make them 100% more flammable.

    They ought to make them out of cellulose to be more environmentally friendly and also so you can see whether the eggs are cracked or not
