minus-squareSteve@communick.newslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoYah, that’s not how they are recycled. That gets burned off by the temps required to melt the aluminum.
minus-squareP1nkman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI, nor the poster you replied to, never mentioned recycling. Your starting to put things into the discussion that was never there.
