I'm sure the big oil conglomerates will try to find a way to stop him. I wonder how much the machine costs and how much it cost for the electricity to convert plastic into a liter of oil. Also, is there any residue? All questions/answers missing from the video. But ever at break-even or minor net loss, it would be worth it to control the plastic.
Here was a comment under the video.
The machine produced in various sizes, for both industrial and home uses, can easily transform a kilogram of plastic waste into a liter of oil, using about 1 kW·h of electricity but without emitting CO2 in the process. The machine uses a temperature controlling electric heater instead of flames, processing anything from polyethylene or polystyrene to polypropylene (numbers 2-4). Comment: 1 kg of plastic produces one liter of oil, which costs $1.50. This process uses only about 1 kW·h of electricity, which costs less than 20 cents
