A solution for ridding the island of plastic waste and saving money
#8
"My question is what is left over in the pressure vessel after you cook out the fuel."

I was thinking the same thing. This process of trying to clean up probably creates some pollution too.  But how much?  Might it still be worth it  There's probably a reason this isn't a more popular recycling option.  The video makes it look quite easy but of course there is the set up process that might cost a few bucks.  But if you created enough fuel through the recycled plastic the cost of the set-up would be covered.

"The walls of my house are 86% recycled polystyrene."

So you dodge termites and rot but what about the fact that all plastic does this thing call off-gassing.  You know that new car smell?  It's off-gassing of new plastics.  The newer it is the more it smells and it eventually fades but it still continues to seep out.  I often notice it from plastic crap you can buy at walmart.  (I stopped doing that) Smells awful for awhile.  The gasses aren't so good for humans to breathe.  It's tempting to build out of materials that will be around for our grandchildren though.
