“It’s a strange lifeform, Captain. It seems to feed on Glass fibers + synthetic polymers + composite resin.”
— Mr. Spock
Nobody could still get rid of ALL the fine slivers of glass fibers that would remain in the “separated” resin. And once consumed, they could penetrate the intestinal walls and cause internal bleeding, or worse, an invasion of intestinal microbiota into the blood stream.
Either one could cause permanent disability or a painful death.
Not a VIABLE MEANS of recycling.
