Or you know, you could just not make so much plastic and just make fuel? Archive: https://archive.today/UU7SR From the post: >>Scientists in the United States and China say they have developed a one-step method to convert mixed plastic waste into petrol at room temperature and ambient pressure, achieving more than 95 percent efficiency. The approach, which the team describes as requiring less energy, less equipment, and fewer steps than conventional plastic-to-fuel pathways, is designed to be scalable for industrial use. The work involves researchers from the US Department of Energy–funded Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Columbia University, the Technical University of Munich, and East China Normal University (ECNU), SCMP reports.
