I’d like people to post their ideas for new things they would like to see invented. All are welcome to join. All posts are copyrighted to the author of the post. This site is is not for people are actively trying to invent something.
If there’s something you dream of seeing, post it up here. It can be anything at all. As a guideline however, please stay away from political/sexual inventions. There are many, many other sites that do those much better than here.
Please refrain from snarky comments. While they may be humorous, they take away from the overall discourse of the site.
Thanks.

Plastic Zapper
No matter where you go in the world, if your walking along the beach you’re going to encounter a plastic trash on the beach. In some places, an incredible amount. Mos of it is some form of container. Used an discarded long ago the container is still almost perfectly intact.
Plastic is great. Its light, easy to transport and holds up well. The problem is when its time to discard it.
I think about biodegradable plastic. The problem for manufacturers is, when should it start breaking down. A month? A year? 10 years?
I love to see some kind of plastic zapper. Something like the size of the pen that when you’re done with that milk container, you touch it with the zapper and it sends a jolt of electricity that starts the decomposition/breakdown process. It would work on anything plastic- toys, containers, auto parts, whatever.
The zapper would be easy to use so that even a child could zap the plastic.
