It’s an ISLAND ‘Mon!
If EVER there was a place where Thermal Depolymerization made sense this would be it.
Turn the trash into oil and raw materials.
Yes, there would be a cost.
NOT getting this under control has cost too.
We have been burning our trash here in southern NH for years.
It also creates electricity.
The only thing that ends up in landfill is stuff like construction debris.
There are companies that buy the cardboard, steel cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles, mixed clean paper.
The problem for PR is the shipping cost to get those potential recyclables to the place that will buy them is too much.
