Excellent read! From an article posted by Roth_IRA_3000 on iFud.
PTF is the best solution we have today to get closer to zero waste for plastics.
Until there is global alignment among product manufacturers, retailers, consumers, packaging manufacturers, and waste system managers on standards for material types and closed loop systems for those materials, we have a challenge. Today, we have four choices for managing difficult to recycle post-use plastics: convert to oil, waste-to- energy, landfill, or have the public sector subsidize non-economical recycling. PTF recovers chemical mass and embodied energy better than the alternatives.
