Plastic2Oil converts waste plastic into low-sulfur biofuel that they sell primarily for off-road diesel fuel, although they have the flexibility to create a variety of fuels. According to the US EPA the USA generated 31 million tons of plastic waste in 2010, representing 12.4 percent of total municipal solid waste, and of that plastic only 8 percent was recovered for recycling ( http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/plastics.htm ). Plastic2Oil uses types of plastic that are not even collected for recycling.
