There's bacteria that eats plastic too, but they aren't edible like these mushrooms. I love mushrooms, but I'm not going to eat a plastic-eating mushroom. I prefer my mushrooms to feast on plain old manure. ;)

The cost of using UV light alone makes the whole project economically unviable. Recycling would be far cheaper.

Yeah, that raised an eyebrow too. Creating one waste to get rid of another. Even if they used solar panels to power the lights, the solar panels still took oil and plastic to make.
