Why aren't we funding this?
Has it been on the news?
Does the electricity cost make this unfeasible or what?
Hmm.

I'll do some research on it. It makes sense, as plastic is made from oil, so must be a cost-benefit ratio to consider.
I notice the world is running rapidly out of Helium, may be all gone within the next generation.

I helped make that Video
I was one who made a lot of that trash, in the shots of the cherry blossom ( sakura Party) I was very busy producing the trash they needed for that film
On a skeptical note , if it was so damn good , why isn't it on every street corner ,,,

It's a simple pyrolisys process. And you can't get 1 litre of fuel from 1 Kg of pure polyolefin based plastic let alone mixed waste plastic.Originally Posted by Brian d'marge
We're doing better that that right here, theres a far more sophisticated process is coming to a town near you soon.

Hmm.
Good to hear. Would love some of this recycling to appear locally, it all just gets shipped overseas now doesn't it?

Yes, consuming oil in collection and transportation to get what little oil.

No. A couple of percent is processed for re-manufacturing material, the rest of it ends up in the environment, 'prox 10% "controled" (landfills).

You need to take the process to the waste, dude.
Even so it just barely breaks even, and that's because the true cost of turning oil into plastic is nowhere near included in what you pay for your latest toys.

I think you will find that a small system like that in the video will produce a lot of CO2.
It's all good - a nice warm future for all
The plastic is far more innocuous in a landfill than being burnt to drive the pyrolysis process.

Bad idea...........think of the Oil companies
Ive run out of fucks to give

For the obvious reason that the major oil companies don't make as much of your hard earned cash... so they will come up with reasons why it doesn't work and or try to supress the info etc... the idea of doing this has been around since the 50's
If they control the the flow and supply they control the demand, and then they control the price fixing...
Either that or it doesn't work and wouldn't make enough money... ???
Hmm.
Even if it's not economically viable now, eventually the price of oil is going to rise to the point that it is.
