Waste Plastic Resource
- 12,000 Mt (megatons!) per year? [1] NOT!
- Looks like about 300 million metric tons, half of which is waste [2]. If the tonnage is used for plastic lumber - say 100 panels of 200 lb each - then we have 20,000 lb per Seed Eco-Home 2. Only 10 tons. So the global supply is good for 15M houses per year. That's a 15M*50,000 or $750B net market.
