naturejab_ aka julian brown is making strides with his microwave pyrolysis plastic into gasoline rig. it’s been giving me a little bit of hope lately.
It’s a complex hydrocarbon. Shred it, heat it up, and feed it in the front end of a refinery.
produces insane loads of toxins. 1/4 get cancer near the facilities or some such crazy statistic
Unfortunately it tends to get uncontrollably dispersed in the environment before.
That’ll be a change from the past 30 years where we’ve merely been unwilling to cope with the volume of plastic waste.
You’ll be able to walk to Russia on the plastic bridge from Alaska, good times ahead!
