ok i will give you a sanity check. but please actualy read the links and material that was provided. the trivel amount you speack of is around $27,000 of material from 1 (ONE) ton of waste. the UN reports states that the amount of material gained from waste is MANY MANY times more than can be mined from raw gold ore etc. or to make it simple as you seemed to have missed the whole point the report was making. according to the report done by scientist for the United Nations and heads of goverment it MAKES MORE sense to reclaim the material that continueing to waste it and mine more. there is your sanity check. you demand proof and reports and links, i gave them you then completely ignore there content or simply dismiss them, on what i can only assume are on the grounds that they dont back up what you would like them to say.You want to do something that will recover a trivial amount of raw materials and expend more energy in the process than creating new materials from mined components....
I think we need a sanity check here.
and yet again we are waiting for ANY (yes includeing some dubious wikipedia link) that even hints at it not being a sensiable viable economic practice. lets face it scead the reality check needed is where do you draw the line at refuseing to belive something solely on the basis that it dosnt say what you wish it to?? i even updated the figures with current metal values. at least have an attempt at crunching down figures like i did and show me even some half believeable ones that show its a waste of time and effort.
i didnt come into this thread on some kind of crusade i merely related something i had seen and found interesting. i have then tried to gether up info that would show wether or not reclaiming was viable on a small scale. i would have been just as happy had i found something that had half hinted it was pointless but the truth is i havnt managed to find ANYTHING that even sugests it isnt a hugely profitable option, and as is often the case so far you have done NOTHING not a single thing includeing a quick calculation on the back of a napkin that shows its a waste of time.
its very iratating when you simply state something as if its written in the gospel as a fact, then stick hard and fast to your opinion simply because its yours! and yet make ZERO attempt to prove your point, but still have the nerve to ask everyone else to prove theres. this kind of practice it has to be said is forum trolling at its very worse. so time to put up some facts (i will settle for half facts if thats all you can manage) that show its not economical on a small scale, or i think you realy should think about letting this one go.
sorry mods just my opinion, and i prefer to call it as i see it. i also except that this may well be deleted and of course fully except that.
