    While this could be good, I think about this much older article that talks about somewhat similar things, specifically

    turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores

    but they ended up only doing (what I remember being) the turkey offal. The article mentioned here says

    plastic compounds and agricultural byproducts like discarded plant stalks into proteins, fats, acids, and flavorings

    and while it has been 20+ years, my concern is that it will end up doing much less than promised. But I can hope for more.
