‘They lied’: plastics producers deceived public about recycling, report reveals
theguardian.com

“The companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve caused.”

Ah, you are talking about paper and carboard. I thought you meant cotton fibre. As long as it can be recycled.

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.
