Plastic Waste to Oil conversion

[raithnor]

This has serious potential. Anything that allows for more efficient recycling is a good thing.

Envion said its new generator can consume any type of plastic and convert it into synthetic oil; depending on the type of plastic, one ton can be converted into three to six barrels of fuel. Envion said it costs about $10 to convert the plastic

So.... we use real oil to make plastics (if I remember my HS chem right), then when we're done, we recycle the plastic into synthetic oil.

I like it.
