Great video.
Quite educative… I would like to know the name of the specific catalyst that was used in the chemical processing
I really enjoy this longer format. It's kind of frustrating when the topic is interesting but the video only lasts a few minutes. Thanks for this
Just ad 10 times as much energy as you will get out of it. And how much CO2 are you producing. Why not let nature return it to our environment to promote life.
Stop making everything out of plastic 🤷♂️
Still using energy and emits carbon. Taking all energy input from production, recycling, or building new things from old plastic, wouldnt it be more wise to use alternatives like glass and aluminium in the first place??
Until you want to discuss China's and the rest of Asia's involvement into the plastic pollution problem I don't need to waste my time with you.
Why this video sounds just like the Western plastic companies old rap of putting the responsibility (and blame) of plastic pollution on the consumer?
what we need our appliances that people can buy and put their plastic waste in it and turn it into fuel for their vehicles. fo course the corporations won't allow that to happen
How safe are the derived fuels? Do they work the same as fuel derived from crude oil / petroleum?
Why blaming the consumer when those giant profit mongering companies are still producing them when they are already alternative for it. It's all about sustaining oil and gas companies that's literally still supporting plastics.
There has also been progress on using bacteria and enzymes and fungi to break down plastics.
Isn't more accurate to title it "Converting Plastics BACK Into Oil"?
Plastic use should be limited. States should do this. It should not be left to individuals.
From what I saw the biggest issue with plastic waste is the various plastics combo to the finished product , this makes seperation difficult EG. A chips packet, almost every country has csir centres dedicated to finding ways to break plastics down , in India there's a innovative way displayed in labs so not sure if it's gone commercial but that process has zero emissions , it's a bio degradable process using chemicals & organisms to absorb the carbon in plastics & the waste generated is eco friendly that can be turned into fertilizer. If only we had listened to the boffs that warned us decades ago but we allowed idiot politicians who scammed us to keep opec countries flush with Petro dollars that has brought us all to the brink of a disaster probably last seen by the earth when the dinosaurs became extinct along with much of nature then , this time it's not aliens , asteroids but us ! We really f..KD up a good thing & for what ? Printed paper that has no cosmic value ! Takeall of the world's richest wealth & put it on another planet – it does nothing , our economic model is flawed neither capitalism nor communism has been able to deliver a viable solution , if we r to ever reach that dream of star trek things have to change rapidly now.
