What do you think about Plastic Bottle Caps?
I've calculated the
SSA of a typical plastic water bottle cap to be 145 sqf /cubic foot
that is approximately 60% per cent of the SSA of kaldness k1
i can buy 1 cubic foot of k1 for $60 so that is 0.25 cents / sqf
if i could buy plastic caps for $10 that would be 0.07 cents /sqf
72% savings
would anyone here recommend plastic caps to their customers?????
i started collecting them , here is the first 100,
My First 100 Water Bottle Caps
I need around 3500 for 1 cubic foot. I am curious how they will workout as filter media, has anyone used them before?
so if you have any free caps lying around send them my way
