Artist and researcher Inge Sluijs, through her project &#8220;The Rebirth of Waste,&#8221; views landfills as &#8220;mines&#8221; or viable economic resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technical Characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Process:<\/strong> Waste is broken down at an atomic level. A plasma torch generates heat more intense than the surface of the sun, decomposing gases into atomic elements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Result:<\/strong> A composite material that is extremely stable, chemically resistant, and structurally solid. It has a glassy, angular appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Efficiency:<\/strong> 100 kg of waste yields approximately 20 kg of PlasmaRock, along with syngas that can be stored and used for energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ecosystemic Impact:<\/strong> This material addresses the toxic infiltration of soil and water caused by old landfills. By artificially recreating a natural process in a very short time, it cleans up environmental hazards while providing a durable material for tiles or glass-like architectural elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
