unfortunately (or fortunately, glass half-whatever), this broken clock is in 24 hour format. Less assumption and more rule of thumb nowadays.

Its worth noting that this settlement is technically just kicking the can down the road 10 years and 99 mil is just a rounding error when it comes to corpos at this scale. In my opinion, the endgame of right to repair is robust legislation.

The pyrolysis process that the article refers to can turn organic material into biochar which is essentially charcoal. Organic material being anything that has carbon in it which does include sewage and critically plastics. There are studies about using biochar as reusable microplastic adsorption material but I'm not really qualified to draw any conclusions

I saw some tech a while ago referred that used hydrothermal carbonization which from what I can tell is a kind of "wet" pyrolysis. There was a company with a working demo system for sewage treatment which seemed promising, but I haven't heard any new developments since I heard about them a few years ago. I don't know if it's just all up in regulatory processes or if it fizzled out.
