We've made significant advancements in catalytic converters over the last decade and many waste management centers are able to incinerate much of the trash without the toxic emissions. They can then use magnets and eddy current separators to extract nearly all the metals out of the resulting ash.



This is new to me. But even if it's true, it still requires a lot of energy to produce the chip and then apply the waste management you mention.

The best waste is the one that does not exist.
