Plastic to Oil Fantastic OW2.0

Read the article: http://ourworld.unu.edu/en/plastic-to...
The Japanese company Blest has developed one of the smallest and safest plastic-to-oil conversion machines out on the market today. It's founder and CEO, Akinori Ito is passionate about using this machine to change the way people around the world think about their plastic trash. From solving our landfill and garbage disposal issues to reducing our oil dependancy on the Middle East, his machine may one day be in every household across Japan.
While holding up a bag of trash, he states, "It's a waste to throw away, isn't it? This is a treasure."

Turning plastics back into plastics also saves oil. So yes, you are correct. The issue is when plastics are thrown into a landfill or incinerated.

650KWh for 1 liter of oil (blest.co.jp/s-5.html)--> use Google Translate if you do not know Japanese, compared to standard 1 liter of petrol oil producing 11KWh of energy (bioenergy.ornl.gov/papers/mis­c/energy_conv.html), this machine is EXTREMELY efficient (59x more), and energy saving. It also produces much less waste.

here in the us we have a bunch of rats that controls the economy selling oil ,polluting is not a mayor concern for them,.A plane flow with algee  oil yes a plane ,and outperform the kerosene ,,excuse they can't mass produce it algee oil,yes sure but they can bring 5 or more oil tankers a day from middle east no problems,your machine is awesome but they are goin to find the way to say that it's not safe to use ,or dangerous ,,

big question is were to buy one before goverments make it disappear ?

I think the best solution for garbage volume control is recycling , and after a lot of cycles of recycling procedure when no plastic can be recovered then we can use this excellent oil making machine

Where do I buy one.

28 losers did not like it. go figure! Fortunately they do not represent us. How can we buy this machine? I would love to have one! I would not buy an expensive TV set and buy this instead. Let me know. Even though I use plastic as little as possible and recycle, I would collect them and make my own gas and oil.

Why do you need an excuse to love? Just love him anyway!
