I wonder if the information being put out regarding microplastics is really a play toward restricting home 3D printing.
Discussion
they lied about that island of plastic in the pacific.
they lied about recycling.
they lie about everything.
they lie to sell. they lie to control.
Can't have everyone printing 3D pewpews ... think of the children.
When can I sue Tupperware for all the plastic in my balls?
Plastic is definitely stored in the balls. Just like pee is.
It certainly would fit their methods of attacking anything that promotes self sovereignty and self reliance. When you realise the amount of plastic that comes into your home that can be ground down and melted into spooled plastic that can be utilised in production, it does make a massive difference in the total amount of waste produced.
Probably not
But all is connected or correlated somehow
I was wondering about how this news would impact the 3D printing community as well. Interesting to me that someone I know bought a 3D printer shortly after getting really into removing plastic from their food and home...
