    In Norway we pay 20 cents extra when we buy a bottle of soda, and then we get that back when we return the bottle to a store. It's called refund, or "Pant" in Norwegian. 96% of all bottles get returned. 20% of the plastic from the returned bottles get reused in new bottles and the rest is used in other products such as fleece clothing and blankets. The only reason only 20% is used in bottles is that the plastic gets a little cloudy when a high proportion is recycled PET.
    We also have refund on aluminium cans and some glass bottles.

      The premise of piranha solution is to remove carbon from its volume, deconstruct it. So, that would lead me to believe that any discoloration was from the carbon, and once it has been totally removed, the solution would become both clear and pure again.

    I think the the more important thing is to develop plastics that compost on their own over time. Obviously you wouldn't want this for devices with a longer life-span like electronics or toys, but even if you could make a bottle that degrades after 5-10 years, that would be plenty of time.

      @@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058 I believe that this sort of thing could be extremely dangerous as there are many dangerous elements in landfill waste, and they could be aerosolized when the piranha solution explodes due to organic solvents that are also in the waste. And any elements that go in must either stay in solution or come out, including mercury and the like. Mercury would probably be vaporized by the heat produced. Either way, even after algae treatment, I'd be very wary of releasing the gas into the air. The explosions themselves could be avoided by putting the waste in slowly, but then, wouldn't just burning the waste in a strongly oxidizing flame do the same thing?

    Landfills are deliberately designed so that things don't break down. Releasing carbon dioxide is one of the things we're trying to avoid but keeping other toxic things out of the air is also good. The real trick is figuring out how to turn carbon dioxide into solid carbon and oxygen. As it is, it's better to bury garbage in a way that won't break down because that is the most economical way to not release toxins or carbon dioxide into the air or soil.

    I can see how this works putting the bottle into the liquid… But could you try to flow a curtain of the liquid over a bottle and see what happens. I would love to see if you could come up with a way to use this in a landfill to reduce the volume of the landfill.

    aren't plastic bottles supposed to already be recycled? i mean you pay 10 cent for the bottle then get refunded at the recycling depot and they then send those to the recycling... or are they the ones throwing the bottles away? throwing bottles away is like throwing money away...

    Here's the big question though; what do you mean "keep piling up in landfills" ? That type of plastic is one of the most recyclable types of plastics that exists. My local city never took PS and recently stopped taking PP, but they've always accepted PETE and HDPE. As far as I know type 1 and 2 are the only plastics they actually accept and the most recyclable plastics. So why do I keep hearing concern over "single use coke bottles filling up landfills"....???
