Plastic oil to oil conversion (Japan)

The process isnt very new but (see in French a subject from 2004: https://www.econologie.com/forums/l-inde-pou ... vt118.html ) it has to be know and it partially solves the huge problem of the plastic wastes. Now in Japan.

Excerpt:

We are all well aware of plastic's “rap-sheet.” It has been found guilty on many counts, including the way its production and disposal raises resource issues and lets loose extremely negative environmental impacts.

Typically made from petroleum, it is estimated that 7% of the world's annual oil production is used to produce and manufacture plastic. That is more than the oil consumed by the entire African continent.

Plastic's carbon footprint includes landfilling and incineration, since sadly, its recycle rate is dismally low around the globe.

Plastic trash is also polluting our oceans and washing up on beaches around the world. Tons of plastic from the US and Japan are floating in the Pacific Ocean, killing mammals and birds. Perhaps this tragedy is best captured in the TED presentation by Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation.

To those Japanese who have the art of making small, inexpensive individual machines that will be sold all over the world.
The microwave oven, the walkman, etc. etc. to end up using a machine to recycle plastic diesel packaging in each kitchen and save on heating oil !!

You have to ask them to make a cheap micro-mole drill to save all the CO2 from heating fuels, by storing summer heat underground for winter.
