1. A method of recircling a multitude of generic waste streams from a plurality of sources, comprising
identifying, determining, and quantifying initial input waste streams and sub-components, wherein waste input streams form a multi-chain and wherein waste input streams form interwoven chains, wherein quantifying involves two or more of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, and quality of the waste streams,
codifying said input waste streams and sub-components,
in taking the multitude of input waste streams,
separating separable sub-components of the multitude of generic waste streams from one and another and providing sub-component waste streams, wherein sub-components have a chemical, physical, or biological nature, or a combination thereof,
inputting each sub-component waste stream or generic waste stream into at least one distribution station, wherein at least one waste stream enters a distribution station,
providing at least one re-use path per distribution station, and selecting at least one re-use path per sub-component waste stream, therewith forming an interwoven chain of waste to product process,
transferring the multitude of sub-component waste streams and generic waste streams to a number of re-use paths while controlling two or more of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, and quality of the waste streams, and controlling a number of reuse paths, and wherein control involves of at least one re-use path forecasting at least one of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, quality, and a number of reuse paths, wherein the multitude of sub-components and waste streams are transferred, to a plurality of re-use paths,
generating at least one output stream, each output stream receiving input from at least one re-use path,
transferring at least one output stream to a number of product paths while controlling in the multi-chain and interwoven chains at least one of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, and quality of the product paths, and controlling in the multi-chain and interwoven chains a number of product paths, and
optimizing in the mold chain and interwoven chains recircling continuously in view of changing initial waste streams and sub-components in view of two or more of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, and quality of the waste streams, and in view of controlling a number of reuse paths, and optimizing in the multi-chain and interwoven chains recircling in view of changing output streams, and optimizing recircling by providing feedback to at least one producer of generic waste stream in view of one or more of time, quantity, quantity/time, emission, energy use, costs, and quality of the waste stream.
