I was just reading about TheOceanCleanup [1] and its depressing. It is hard to collect the garbage, it cant be disposed off, and there is a huge ongoing flow of new garbage.

Can we at least recycle plastics into other low-quality plastic which can be degraded/mix-quality/blended or something? I am not an expert.

And what happens with this low-quality plastic when it's no longer needed? Make even lower quality plastic?


In some countries, lower-quality garbage is incinerated to generate electric power.
