Paternoster plastic grinder and mushroom grower

The one that blew my mind. I’ve been thinking of home plastic digestion by microbes and knew plastic would have to be ground up. But I never imagined such a cool device like this, not only does it grind, but also grows mushrooms on the plastic compost. And go see the detail pictures – pretty engravings and just beautiful shapes and gears.

  1. Too bad it’s just a design concept, and not actually a working prototype.

    Plastic digestion is difficult and slow – and will probably be messy and stinky as well. Philips makes it seem really simple and pretty, but then I’ve seen plenty of beautiful and entirely non-functional designs before…

Thoughts?
