As far as recycling goes, it's very exciting that you can recycle plastic bottles into plastic granules/filament and use them for printing.

I think we are not that far away from a self contained fabricator that turns garbage into everyday plastic parts you need.

It's probably going to take a little more than that, but I've always held that landfills are probably going to be very valuable property in 50 years or so. I assume there are going to be "dis-assemblers" to consume and separate "junk" for repurposing in manufacturing.

It's a little dream I have. :-)

Your vision is like a scene out of Wall-E!
