With enough energy we can separate anything into its elemental constituents.

“Recycling” as mentioned by the US press is a scam because we had humans walking over our trash in India manually recycling in such a dangerous way they banned our recycling.

Anything can be ground into dust and sent through a series of physiochemical processes to reconstitute.

Well. The "recycling" we’re talking about in this thread is a greenwashing lie to make consumers feel better about their irresponsible consumption.

The recycling you’re talking about is a science fiction trope, and utterly irrelevant here, because we don’t have a way of expending that much energy, let alone generate economically (or ecologically).
