From Plastic Waste to Fuel—Improving the Environment

It’s not the plastic water bottle that causes the most harm to sea birds, but the cap, which is mistaken for food.

But this is no ordinary type of recycling, which aims to turn a plastic product back into another plastic product with the addition of more plastic.
