If there is a service or a product, there is a potential for a return.
>Who is gonna fund a large scale investment?
The same people who fund all large scale investment: the general population.
Could make a business case out of it: get paid to haul away plastic nobody wants, get free feed stock to grow mushrooms, sell mushroom related products for profit. Lobby for some environmental tax credits to get the public to pay for the process in return for reduced environmental contamination for a tidy profit.... Devil is in the details but it is not an impossible sell.
