The invention relates to a method for recycling cellulose acetate-containing material, such as a filter tow starting material which consists of cellulose acetate or at least has cellulose acetate. The method has the following steps: supplying a filter tow starting material to a pelletizing press; and pelletizing the filter tow starting material in the pelletizing press in order to convert the filter toe starting material into pellets, wherein the converted pellets have a higher density than the supplied filter tow starting material, and the filter tow starting material, the pellets, and/or intermediate stages of the material are cooled at least temporarily during the pelletizing process.

A waste management system for plastic or other material floating on the surface and in the subsurface of a body of water. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is frozen to a temperature at or below minus fifty degrees Fahrenheit, using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon may be recycled or used as fuel by the ship. Water may be used by the ship or returned to the ocean.
