Posting a website to get your informed, brilliant opinions. :)

I won't even pretend to act as though I understand the science behind this technology, or how viable it may be. That's why I'm posting here, because all of you are quite knowledgeable about the subject of new technology.

This technology and website was just brought to my attention, and I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts and opinions about this being introduced here in the US.

Thanks much.

About E-N-ergy

E-N-ergy is pleased to exclusively represent Blest here in the United States, Canada and South America. These machines, which are already in use in Asia and Africa, convert waste plastics into useable oils. The sizes of the machines vary from small B-240 which will process 528 pounds per day continuous processing to multiple tons of plastic.

Systems can be configured to process upwards of 21 Tons per day and can be customized to meet your individual needs.

Because the Blest Plastic to Oil conversion System uses a highly efficient process, the cost of operating them is literally pennies per day. The type of oil produced in the reclamation process will vary depending on the types of plastics used in the recycling process. Refining of these oils can produce a useable diesel, gasoline, kerosene and heavy oil for operating vehicles and other machinery. Waste product is amazingly low. Prices for these machines begin at under $200,000 for the B-240 and can be scaled to almost any size and price.

but I'd rather see plastic recycled than burned. Anything that puts GWG in the atmosphere is getting harder to justify by the day.

I didn't realize burning was involved; I posted here before even trying to understand it, knowing others here would have excellent feedback that wouldn't naturally come to mind for me.

What you say makes a lot of sense.

Thanks again!

it is the CO2 that is the issue. Plastics started out as oil and when reduced again to that state, free the carbon into the atmosphere, when used for power of whatever form.

The highest priority for humans today, is the need for a near instantaneous conversion to a carbon free energy and lifestyle.
