In a lab, maybe.
But as a practical application, (i.e. plastic into jet fuel, not requiring much more energy input as you get in return) I call BS.

How will the green kooks respond?
1. Recycling plastic — VERY good.
2. Making hydrocarbon fuel — VERY bad.

mr. robinson was right... plastics.
what are the chances these students won’t turn this over to the chinese communists?

If you are going to burn the plastic anyway as jet fuel, you might as well burn it in furnaces, use anti pollution smokestack technology and save the cost of liquefying the plastic. The amount of carbon dioxide released will be about the same and maybe even less with modern capturing techniques.

and to easily fine-tune the process to create the products that they want.
This line is intriguing. I've been watching as the technology for plastics pyrolysis improves, I even tried to order a small pyrolysis machine once that was designed for home use. There's a lot of potential in that field. Even more so if you can adjust the settings for exactly what you want out of it.
I vaguely recall something about the same process being used to turn low-grade crude into a lighter, higher grade of crude. Definitely useful.

Decades ago there was a giant pile of used tires in a mountain hollow outside of of Winchester Virginia that was set on fire by a lighting strike. The fire was under the pile and as it burnt it created oil that gathered in the bottom of the hollow and flowed out in such amounts that a dam was built to catch it.

Pyrolysis of plastics to liquid and gaseous fuels has been worked for a while. The most interesting processes throw together mixed plastics (polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET)).
I read last year that two plants would be built in the US. I haven't looked into it since.

How much energy (cost of) is needed to drive this process? If energy positive net game this is good. If not it is just liberal mental chemical masturbation.
I can make any hydrocarbon (plastics, garbage, oil etc.) into anything I want. The real question is it a net gain or loss in energy and is it a cost effective synthesis.
Political correctness will never defeat thermodynamics and entropy which are actually one and the same. Entropy always wins until the universe runs backwards. It does not.

Ruthenium occurs with other members of the platinum group of metals in the Ural mountains (Russia) and in North and South America. It is also found in the Sudbury, Ontario nickel-mining region and in the pyroxenite deposits of South Africa. Ruthenium may also be extracted from radioactive waste.
