Conveniently leaving out the fact that doing this would release all of the carbon in those plastics into the atmosphere and contribute further to global warming, while simultaneously claiming that it would be -Good for the environment- is both negligent and unethical. Burning fossil fuels for energy contributes to global warming. Turning fossil fuels into plastic contributes to global warming. Turning those plastics into fuel requires energy that likely comes from fossil fuels, and contributes to global warming. And burning those fuels made from plastics that were made from fossil fuels to create energy ---contributes to global warming---
This doesn't fix any problems and it doesn't reduce pollution, it just moves it from somewhere we can see it to somewhere that we can't, using the things that caused the problem in the first place to do it, increasing demand for those things and perpetuating the problem further. Intentionally or not, This video is contributing to the misinformation campaign that giants in the fossil fuel industry have been propigating for decades.

Normally i was collecting my trash wich can burn in 60 liters bags. Everything like plastic wraps, used paper and cardboard, rubber, etc. -
In the winter i was burning those bags mixed with wood to heat my house. -
The chimney is charging up pretty fast from the plastics but for me was like a energy recovery. ---
Now i wonder if i can use those mixed bags in this type of installation or this works only with plastic? -

So you said, what if we convert it to the fuel and could we live in plastic homes. And what you did is only covered about fuel. How about cover everything you said not only one thing. And on every video you do the same. we want to know more than one thing. Or if you only giving one thing then dont bait with other things that you mentioning at the beginning and then you not even talking about them.

Well imagine if this idea came into reality and now petrol is cheaper because they can just keep producing it. Or if some other guy doesn-t even need to go to the petrol station he legit collects clean plastic and can actually turn it into real petrol and can easily just fill up his car when he needs

Need there be more blood sweat and tears from the suffering of oil based petrol manufacturers, if that wasn't enough to persuade them to fight this kind of thing.
Petrol companies will literal kill double or triple the amount of people they already do to counter this kind of future movement.

Hey What if I have read that in one University in India some students made an initiative to use plastics as road fillers ( making roads) and maybe that's a good solution since we can't use them as fuels.
Pls reply to my comment.

I don't understand the concept of cracking down the plastic because after all it is also using energy and the amount of fuel that you are generating is nothing in front of the energy utilized.
Correct I'm wrong

I don't think it's a good idea. People made products that contain CFCs, which is a cause of the ozone hole. We will not know whether or not this type of fuel will harm the planet and in what way can it harm us.

companies: -let's invest on turning plastic-to-fuel because its good for the environment! -
CO2 emissions: StOnKs
-many forget that plastics come from fossil fuels and burning them worsens the problem.

Well we simply burn plastics in a totally closed chamber to make almost pure petrol and gas. Their purity rate is so high that they can work asides gas station fuel. Your idea is not much of good

Thank you for making video on my and many other people's suggestion.
And my another suggestion is what if we make a giant chimney to space so our carbon emissions can reduce.

WAIT what if we used WATER as a energy source, we already are, hydroelectricity, but I mean like when you drive your car it comes out as a cloud

i have heard about. plastic being used as a replacement of bitumen for making roads.
but that too will result in environmental pollution.

This is feasible, if used in conjuction with a nuclear power plant.
. that way you aren't burning fuel, to create fuel.

Countries without fossil fuels can use it till they transition into renewable energy. This can give opec a run for its money.

Plastic no wonder can be turned into fuel, and that can really save our planet by helping reduce our usage of fossil fuels.

Plastics like LDPE, HDPE, PP are suitable to become fuels because they contain only carbon and hydrogen chains.

This is far to expensive. I don't think car companies will change their engine structure because of this.
