Except recycling isn't that effecient.

But how efficient is it? AI says: Recycling Iranian banknotes into usable cotton is highly inefficient and impractical for profit, as the process incurs significant costs and losses that far exceed any potential gain. The amount of usable cotton recovered from 1 kg of Iranian banknotes would be substantially less than 1 kg due to material degradation, ink removal, and the inherent limitations of mechanical recycling, with estimates suggesting only about 70% of the original cotton material can be recovered. The process also requires substantial energy, labor, and specialized equipment, and the resulting recycled cotton is typically of lower quality and unsuitable for high-grade applications.

I don't know, 70% sounds high to me.
