What makes these scams so successful is that there

For those who don't know what plastic is, it's a continuously linked chain of atoms. A piece of plastic that you can hold in your hand essentially is one gigantic molecule.
If you've ever tried to burn plastic, you can generally see it melt and drops of molten, burning plastic will fall to the ground. Those drops are plastic where the heat broke the bonds and it's an oil. Unfortunately at the temperature where plastic 'melts', it also burns. Solution: starve it of oxygen and recover the liquid. That's pyrolysis.
Pyrolysis is nothing new but the concept of garbage-to-oil thrills investors. Oil is associated with value in investors' minds. The feedstock for pyrolysis can be pure hydrocarbon plastics, which are expensive but will produce a hydrocarbon-only fuel...or the feedstock can be mixed plastic or even household garbage which will produced an oil as worthless as the garbage from which it came.
So when PTOI came along, your very first question should have been, "How is your pyrolysis better than regular pyrolysis? What can you do that I can't do by simply heating up that same plastic in a steel container over a campfire?
After six years of no transparency into the actual processor results, investors should be concerned to say the least. If anyone still think PTOI's process is the best ever then at least ask PTOI how much of a value-adding process it really is. If you get silence, you'll know why.
