Yeah idk if you can feed it through them more than once. More than scared to add the castings to soil too, all I see is distributing microplastics throughout the entire garden
The Earth will be just fine, every city is full of animals and plants that thrive in exhaust fumes, motor oil, and human waste. It might not be the same life that we have today, but life on Earth isn't going anywhere.
If you want to go down a tech click hike: look up pyrolysis videos. You break down polymers into monomers, in styrofoams case, styrene, which can be used as a fuel.
you can also turn styrene back into styrofoam and other plastics
chemical recycling is better than mechanical recycling because you don't have to worry about contamination as much, and you don't have to worry about polymers degrading because you're breaking them down and repolymerizing them anyway
of course, very few recycling plants do chemical recycling at scale because it's unprofitable
Fun fact: mealworms can eat polystyrene
