Fuel From Plastic Soon To Be Commercialized
A novel form of alternative fuel that regains energy from plastic wastes discarded by the consumer or by the industry, which cannot be recycled efficiently. Technologies which produce these fuels try to address two major issues: the excessive quantity of used plastic in landfills, and the production of household energy sources. US shall witness several of such plastics-to-fuel (PTF) conversion processes being commercialized soon.

The waste-to-energy (WTE) industry started by drawing polymer wastes as an issue to get rid of, but was unsuccessful to create financially attainable methods, stated Jay Schabel, CEO of PolyFlow. Plastics-to-fuel (PTF) energy regaining techniques provide a varying tactic by producing technologies that may turn profitable. These technologies are directed towards non-recycled plastics, which otherwise find their grave in landfills, as the highest-BTU waste stream at hand is polymer. Conventionally, solid wastes are burned and the heat is employed to generate steam in a closed-loop process, which either produces heat or electricity.
