A Japanese man has invented a machine that converts plastic to oil that can be burned as it is or can be further processed into gasoline, diesel, and kerosene.

He also says this in the vid, but I don't get it. Refining oil produces a lot of different compounds (like gasoline, kerosine, propane, butane, and other distillates for plastics...) So how does melting down plastic make more of these things?? They were already separated out in the refining process.

No apology necessary, I had no idea that was possible... its a real shame we aren't sing this to recycle at least a little bit.

Agreed. We should be funding this. It would help so much with getting rid of crap in landfills
