    Actually there is a small company here in the philippines thats been doing that for years now. Theyre turning plastics into diesel. I forgot the name of the company but i watched it in the local news. The owner said you just need the right temp.

      Pyrolysis. Please research. It's widely used with plastics and also with used vehicle tyres. But pyrolysis is a very bad producer of greenhouse gases.. So many regulations need to be in place before its widely adapted.

This exported waste vastly surpasses the rate at which the country itself is producing waste. It gets sent there by big industry nations like the US, EU, etc. It gets send there to be "recycled" but the country doesn't have the capacity or technology to process the vast amount of trash. China banned trash imports, which has lead to other countries taking it's place. Not sure what you're talking about "missinformation".

    I think a major concern in converting waste plastics into useable products like fuels is the amount of energy needed to do the conversion. So the question is if there is enough of a net gain in energy output to make it economically viable.

With our system we are currently recycling 1000 to 1500 pounds an hour of shredded tire. A similar large-scale system should be able to handle other types of plastics.

    Great video. Turning plastics to fuel is a great start which can be done on both local and large scale. Putting plastic catchments at the mouth of the most polluted rivers plus a converter next to it will stop the plastics before they enter the ocean and provide local people with basic fuels for mopeds etc. the river will act like a big collection and transport system leading down to the fuel converter.

    I was expecting the "misleading" bar chart in the video depicting the world's largest plastic contributors, but we have to take into account that most waste from the West get exported to the aforementioned countries in the chart. I mean, how does the USA, a developed country, produce six times less waste than a developing country with a third of its population? Additionally, the "contributions" from Southeast Asia are more likely to increase as China has implemented its Operation National Sword, which will limit plastic exports from the West.

    • @carlcaturday1790
      @carlcaturday1790 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The chart doesn't show the plastic waste produced by a country, but rather the amount that goes into the oceans. That's why the USA ranks rather low. Only a small amount of plastics in the oceans originates from US coasts or rivers. However the plastic that originate from asian rivers might have been from the USA originally due to trade. So the underlying problem is the lack of legislation and technology to dispose of plastics (accumulated through trade and own production) in East Asia!
