Moving In The Right Direction: Plastic to Oil

Online, April 12, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Every year, Americans throw away enough plastic cups, forks, and spoons to circle the earth 300 times. Over 7 billion pounds of PVC are thrown away annually in the U.S. alone. Less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled each year. These facts are but a few in the astonishing battle we are fighting in order to gain control of plastic waste.

The battle is an ongoing one and has been for decades, however the results we never expected to see are becoming more obvious as each day passes. It is no secret that there is is an energy crisis occurring in America and the rest of the world. Energy stores have been depleted and the need for clean energy is more prevalent than ever. The result of these energy and fuel depletions has become obvious in our daily lives and we have seen only minuscule changes being made in the overall scheme of our energy crisis. It seems we have been moving in the wrong direction for the past 50 years. Carelessly using energy with no regard for the future and sustaining ourselves when the energy stores do run out. Recycling and it's importance was overlooked as we never fully witnessed the effects of plastic waste in our society.

It is in the obvious nature of the catastrophic effect plastic waste is having on our planet that recycling technology has improved over the last 20 years. Most impressive of all is the recent ability to convert waste plastic to ultra-clean, ultra-low sulphur fuel. This process of converting plastic to oil will bring immediate economic benefits for the majority of industries, communities and government organizations with waste plastic recycling challenges.
