I would like to know if plastics can be reverse engineered or are the costs too significant .
I still don't understand. When you say "reverse engineer", In English, that means to learn exactly how the plastic was MADE so that you could make it yourself. I think that is not what you mean, yes? You mean how can you DESTROY plastic (turn it into something not harmful), yes?Derek lynch said:Hi thank you for the reply , yes with the state of ocean's and with plastic of all nature is there or is it plausible with the help of physics that plastics of certain types can or could be reverse engineered , I am aware that they have found enzymes that can eat plastic to degrade it ,my goal is to educate myself more about the subject and help if I can.
Reverse engineering plastics is the process of taking apart a product made of plastic and analyzing its components, design, and functionality in order to recreate or improve upon it.
Reverse engineering plastics allows for a better understanding of the materials and design used in a product, which can lead to improvements in its production, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
It can be cost-effective in certain cases, as it can help identify and eliminate unnecessary components or processes, leading to cost savings in production. However, the initial investment in equipment and expertise may be expensive.
The steps may vary depending on the specific product, but generally involve disassembling the product, analyzing its components and materials, creating a 3D model or CAD design, prototyping, and testing for functionality and performance.
There can be ethical concerns if reverse engineering is used to replicate or reproduce a patented product without permission from the original manufacturer. It is important to follow ethical guidelines and obtain proper legal permissions before proceeding with reverse engineering.
