Can it be recycled?

[@HeavyRepping]

I did a bit of research into this and it seems that larger pieces have the potential to be recycled. The problem with smaller pieces is that, as part of the heating/cooling process, they start to lose consistency and tensile strength, resulting in a weakened material the second time around. There's a number of makers using recycled material or biodegradable/recycled/eco material, like Rombo, Howling Monkey, Pigtrum, Plectro etc. I'd like to see more of this in the Plectroverse, and I believe there's still a way of making picks with a decent lifespan from such materials (Tagua and Agate being the frontrunners in this field).
