Old news. :) I've heard about veggie-plastics for a number of years. A
prof at my university was researching converting garbage into a fuel.
Damn, I should look him up and see what he's doing now. My question is
has anybody found a way to de-polymerize a plastic back into a
pre-plastic state such that the hydrocarbons can be recovered and
converted into a useable fuel. We can recycle plastics by powdering
them and forming the powder into pellets for re-use, but can that
powder be further broken down into basic components?
