Sounds amazing, but how will we dispose of this? Looks like 760 C is required to form this. I imagine it will need to be heated above this to dispose of.

That's hardly more than the melting point of aluminum (which is a large part of what this is made with.) It's much less than the melting point of copper, glass, or steel.
Huh? Plenty of things go in landfills that won't go away for many lifetimes
Seems legit to ask whether we can prevent adding more things to those landfills.
Like all metal items, this is trivial to recycle by melting it.
