Given the real world profitable and environmentally friendly alternatives of recycling and waste-to-energy, pyrolysis of plastic doesn't seem to have any environmental advantage. Unless it's profitable, it's toast. There's a reason why dozens of moribund pyrolysis companies litter the landscape. It's not for the lack of several decades of their trying.

PTOI came on the scene a decade ago and promised high profitability. By now most shareholders are acknowledging that founder Mr. Bordynuik was lying his butt off about profitability...but shareholders are still ascribing super-powers to the processor in the field of environmental benefits. PTOI itself, somewhat to Mr. Heddle's credit, hasn't made any new claims about any value, economic nor environmental, since Mr. Bordynuik's fake claims about profitability fell apart. Shareholders are ascribing value themselves. It seems the perceived benefits of the processor know no bounds.

I can't think of any real world situation where plastic pyrolysis of any sort would be worthwhile. PTOI hasn't found any in a decade either. If I'm just blind, I'm probably not the only one who is blind and PTOI should therefore step forward and delineate a real-world example of where a processor would be worthwhile. For example, where is a source of plastic which has too much contamination to be recycled yet not enough contamination to prevent processing by PTOI into usable diesel or naphtha??
