Also very....very suitable for intensive closed loops. I've been eyeballing high desert in wyoming for a hydroponic startup.
I looked up the wiki on plasticulture and it doesn't say anything about the plastics in the ocean or much about recycling other than the original plastics having a potential to be recycled into resins to create more plastic, but I doubt that is done because there isn't much use for recycled plastic due to the costs to purify it enough for use in a new product. It seems to me that the primary use for any recycled plastic is for use in third world countries, with very little regulation, as building materials.
The wiki mentions polyethylene in multiple forms but, I'm sure you are aware, there are so many other plastics that wouldn't be suitable for use within plasticulture.
