Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution. That has not stopped them from promoting it, according to a new report.

        Thread is made out of the material that is separated from the Hurd. Any seeds you get are 30% oil by volume, and they are high in protein. Basically the entire plant has built in uses, and I want it to become an everyday product. This is basically a full drop in replacement for corn only 100% usable.
