and, regarding the cheese wrappers...

i'm thinking i should wait it out. it seems like the technology is currently in development.

an apparent problem is that the fda won't allow for the recycling of food packaging into more food packaging for contamination reasons, which is perhaps overly cautious - they are melting the stuff down. nonetheless, it means that you can't recycle cheese wrappers back into cheese wrappers. as a lot of this packaging is actually engineered for specific purposes, that makes finding something to do with it somewhat challenging. some cursory research suggests that you could convert this particular blend primarily into plastic bags, at this timer.

it would be nice if somebody would just warehouse it, then. well, the idea is to keep it out of the fucking landfill as much as it is to actually reuse it. i'd be just as happy to send it to an empty warehouse in detroit until somebody figures it out. you know?

so if anybody wants a pile of pet/evoh black diamond parmalat cheese wrappers...
