You can? I thought it deteriorates with every time that's being done but maybe that's just true for the methods that are economically viable.
The polymer decomposes when you heat it up, yes. But you can also start from scratch, so to speak. But that is a more involved process. The same way you can reuse steel or melt it completely new.
