Filipino inventor converts used plastics to diesel, gasoline and kerosine.

totoo kaya yan? baka katulad lang nun inventor nun na tubig lang ang gamit sa pagpapaandar ng lumang sentra nun...sino na nga ba un?
kung totoo yan sa yaman ng oil magnate pipigilan nila yan baka mawalan sila ng kita

As shown in the links, it's relatively easy, and many individuals and companies are doing it.

The question is the cost per liter and economies of scale. If you don't have enough plastic waste and cheap enough electricity or heating, then it's not economically viable.

totoo yan. syempre pwede i-convert ang plastic to fuel. galing sa crude oil ang plastic

kung totoo yan sa yaman ng oil magnate pipigilan nila yan baka mawalan sila ng kita

as if

no competition sa kanila yan

napakaliit ng volume nyan para maapektuhan ang mga oil companies

[uls]

hindi one-of-a-kind ang "invention" ng pinoy inventor na yan

dami gumagawa nyan sa ibang bansa

kahit sino pwede pumasok sa ganyan business

di naman kailangan maging inventor ka para mag convert ng plastic to fuel

meron nabibili equipment para sa plastic-to-fuel plant

dami nagbebenta

Plastic To Fuel-Plastic To Fuel Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters on Alibaba.com

para saan yung patent ni pinoy inventor pwede naman bumili ng machines abroad

e di pwede gawin crude oil un basurang plastic ng manila...kung gaynoon sana suportahan ng goverment yan or mag sponsor ang mga billionaire jan hehehe
para naman bumaba naman ang price gasolina at deasel...

Instead of thinking of ways how to produce fuel to satisfy the increasing demand for it, we should invent machines that use less energy or less fuel but produces the same amount of output.

[fourtheboys96]

Regarding this "invention", if the inventor found a new way to convert plastic to diesel, then it is still a valid discovery.

If that is the case, the next question would be about its practicality.

The amount of plastic in garbage isn't that big. You have to sort it, classify it and clean it. Obviously can't have food scraps, metal and wood in the machine with the plastic, as this would contaminate the product.

Poof. The cost of manual labor and cleaning eats up your last peso difference per liter to regular fuel.

and when there's a big plastic-to-fuel plant that needs continuous supply of waste plastic the market will put a price on waste plastic

hey, kailangan mo eh. bayaran mo

hehe

yung mga supplier ng waste plastic (Scavengers United, Inc.) will benefit

yung planta naman may added cost sa raw material hehe

kamusta naman kaya emission nyan.

im no chemical expert, napaisip lang ako.

mababawasan nga ng solid waste,
magkakasakit naman tayong lahat sa baga,
pag lahat ng jeepney driver yan na ang kinakarga.

enlighten me. hehe.
