What? More oil? How dare they! This is going to get Greta Thunberg even angrier than before.

They’ve known about making oil out of plastics for years. I remember from about thirty years a huge used tire dump in the Virginia mountains caught fire and because it was in a steep gully they couldn’t get to it to put it out so it burnt for weeks. The big problem was oil was running down the gully from the bottom of the pile.

Be a revolutionary! Stand up!!
Adding plastic straws to your every Amazon order is as easy as pie and a lot cheaper. Gotta do it every order or it doesn't work.
Make leftists cry. Or don't and we all die in unspeakable torture.

I’ve sold shredded tires to a Wisconsin utility.
They burn good, along with chopped railroad ties.

Dr Humphreys said the Cat-HTR technology he and his co-founder patented was different from existing plastic-to-oil technologies like pyrolysis, which is a process that involves heating materials at a very high temperature. Unlike traditional physical recycling, it does not require plastics to be separated according to type and colour, and can recycle anything from milk cartons to wetsuits and even wood by-products.
It also means plastic products can be recycled again and again.

Taiwan simply open-burned our plastic. It was an open secret, but our masters didn’t want the country to turn against recycling (as it would crash a lot of leftist egos)...so it never got much play.

Pyrolysis of oil is simple. This is not new. They went to the UK because they subsidize the product with credits. Australia did not. Tech doesn’t pay for itself, unless government gives credits.
Solyndra.
There is an efficient tech being deployed now in the US.

Using hot water at high pressure to get oil? Sounds like fracking to me.
PlastiFrack might be a good thing to trademark.
