How Waste Plastic is Converted into Fuel

[@PeregArBagol]

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

[@hepyemliha]

Plastic use should be limited. States should do this. It should not be left to individuals.

[@Nee96Nee]

I don't agree that the states should be responsible. I believe that it is the companies that are creating the plastics to begin with. They lobbied for this mess they should pay to clean it up.

Colorado has a polystyrene limit in food packaging. Policies are changing slowly in the USA.

[@BrowncoatGofAZ]

@@titanicisshit1647point taken, but we’re getting to the point of finding microplastics in our water supplies. I remember hearing about PFAS contamination in my former city of Tucson.

[@mcuserton]

The easiest way to limit the use of something is to increase the tax on it. No need to set up special regulations, just heavily tax it and it will only be used when there's no good alternative. That higher cost will also drive innovation for alternatives.

[@ikechukwuo.ogbonna2892]

Quite educative... I would like to know the name of the specific catalyst that was used in the chemical processing

[@alexandraapjarova2871]

Not sure why they can’t continue developing safe “plastic back into oil at home” machine and sell it as a necessary house hold appliance like oven or fridge, washing machine and so on. Why did they cancel this development progress. They were on a right track for everyone to put an effort to eliminate plastic from oceans. Please continue with it! Please!!!🙏🙏🙏

[@icaropratti9527]

Ooh my dear. Are you naive? If we recycle it means we diminish the reliance on the oil industry and in the capitalis era we live it is easier you get away with murder than be successfull on a business who threatens the oil business.

[@presitatorproductions1134]

The reason why is because the USA runs off the petrodollar. If something like that hit the market not only would it destabilizes a trillion dollar industry it would mean the US killed millions in middle Eastern countries for nothing

[@christopheresquea4541]

Because then there would not be a middle man and you would give people too much freedom and we dont want that

[@PomahXomehko]

That's nothing new a Canadian Ukrainian developed a process back in the 1990s and built a plant near New York basically using plastic waste and after heat treatment 5 barrels of Plax and 2 barrels of gas . A British company tried to market their TR7000 meaning processing 7000 tonnes per annum but the company went bust after COVID 19 . You need energy something like 4MW per tonne of plastic good idea but only works if oil is above 120 dollars a barrel. The Plax oil was priced 150 dollars a barrel in 2018 .

[@michasosnowski5918]

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??

[@chpsilva]

And what to do with all the plastic that already is a problem now ? Even if isn't an energy efficient source of fuel is better than burning it directly or, worse, throw it in landfills or the ocean.

[@de0509]

Glass breaks and is a safety hazard. Do you use glassware to teach kids how to eat? Glass is heavy, and would waste more energy in its handling and its transport. And lets remember being brittle, glass needs sufficient material to pad their rattling and stay apart from each other, causing less volume. Not only are glassware thicker than a plastic bottle wall thickness, they need to be spaced apart too. A lorry that couldve carried a million drinks normally would only be carrying a few hundred thousands if the drinks were packed in glass. More trucks on the road to satisfy the same demand. Glass needs high temperature to remelt/recycle, and will use up more energy and cause more emissions. Aluminium needs higher temp than plastic to process too. Cannot be injection moulded and needs really expensive machinery to forge into shape. Aluminium is also expensive. Also too flimsy when thing to wrap food as bags, unlike plastic bags that actually get tougher when you stretch it (up to a limit). Its easy to shoot out suggestions and pretend to be smart, but its clear you have never really given any meaningful thought to the stuff youre saying. I immediately formed these arguments against glass and aluminium as soon as I read your idea. Go brainstorm a new idea for material to replace plastics. Lower your ego, and play as a critic against your own ideas. Otherwise you would be churning out half baked ideas and have it be ridiculed so easily

[@chpsilva]

@@de0509 I was raised using glassware. A cup or two have been broken, but eventually me and my sister learned not only how to avoid it but also how to deal with the shards when it happened. But then again children nowadays are made of snow flakes, apparently.

[@michasosnowski5918]

@@de0509 I posted open ended question, not solution. You suggested for me to think things thru(which is valid), but then you said that you formed your opinion immediately after reading mine. Kind of hypocricy. What about all the plastic that ends up in the environment? Microolastic? Plastic killing wildlife on the ground and in water? There are problems with all materials. The bigger problem is overconsumption. Why we dont carry our own reusable bottles? Conveniemce is killing us. Want caffeinated sugary drink? Take Hot coffee with you in thermos. I will brainstorm, wishing you to do the same.

A similar program to this Japanese pilot plant is complete in Alberta and undergoing process trials. It's a true large industrial scale plant that had $180 million spent on it over it's 15 year design and construction cycle. The trials for this plant leads to a lot of heavy coking inside the pipes leading to frequent shutdowns. We are not giving up on this and more investment is needed to change out some of the system to reduce coking. If successful, they want to process 10,000 tons of plastic bails daily from all over western Canada and north western US. Alberta was chosen because of our extensive experience in refining heavy sour crude and have all the refinery infrastructure for it. We were the first place in the world to blend plastics into bitumen and asphalt for roads and roofing and have been doing it for over 40 years.

What do you think most plastics are made of? They’re made of oil. This process is just converting plastic back to oil, not creating new oil. And a byproduct of the process is massive amounts of carcinogens and other toxic chemicals and heavy metals that need to be sorted out.

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.

[@gr8bkset-524]

How costly is this process compared to virgin plastics? Producers of virgin plastics profit from its usefulness to society, but don't pay for the harm. Recycled plastics should therefore be subsidized (or virgin plastics taxed) the equivalent value to the harm. Also, how much energy does this process use and can processing use renewable energy?

this would require $187.5 oil barrels and price per pound of plastic sustained at .50¢ given the 80% retention from initial weight to end product weight to be profitable. Unfortunately because oil prices that high would kill the global economy, the global powers will not introduce this cyclical economy, rather they would have a consume and dispose economy which is awful for the environment.
