Special Microwave Turns Plastic into Oil!

You heard it here first, folks!


Global Resources Corporation has developed a specialized microwave that directs energy at plastics and releases the hydrocarbons. The result? Waste plastics are transformed into diesel oil, combustible gas, carbon, and whatever else is in the original plastic!

As we know, plastics are made from oil. Some, however, are extremely energy-intensive and expensive to recycle into new plastics. GRC's process can recycle essentially anything which contains hydrocarbons, including those pesky worn-out tires that burn so freely in junkyards across the nation!


I'm all for reducing and reusing first, and buying more durable products which we need not recycle so quickly; however, a process like this can provide incentive for people to mine our junkyards for oil resources, stretching the life of in-earth oil reserves AND the capacity of our landfills.
