Actually there is a small company here in the philippines thats been doing that for years now. Theyre turning plastics into diesel. I forgot the name of the company but i watched it in the local news. The owner said you just need the right temp.
Pyrolysis. Please research. It's widely used with plastics and also with used vehicle tyres. But pyrolysis is a very bad producer of greenhouse gases.. So many regulations need to be in place before its widely adapted.
@@MrDileepkoppu oh. So thats what its called. Thankz
At least he’s giving the story more coverage instead of it being a silly article.
dileep koppu reckon it will still work if it’s done outside of earth’s atmosphere? eg Mars, the Moon, in space etc
@@istoleurfaceha3527 what the hell?
The problem with the 2010 graphic of polluting countries is that most of our western waste gets exported to them. Also China banned the import of waste last year, which lead to more exports to Indonesia etc.
If by countries you mean China then yes. The other countries, not so much. So please stop with the misinformation.

This exported waste vastly surpasses the rate at which the country itself is producing waste. It gets sent there by big industry nations like the US, EU, etc. It gets send there to be "recycled" but the country doesn't have the capacity or technology to process the vast amount of trash. China banned trash imports, which has lead to other countries taking it's place. Not sure what you're talking about "missinformation".

It's insane blame others what we doesen't see anymore in front of our eyes. Out of your eyes, out of your sin.

Turning plastic to fuel was already a thing in the 2000s. Just that recycling companies sending them off to China was much cheaper.
This. lol
I remember Bill Nye did a segment talking about how a man turned rubber back to fuel

I think a major concern in converting waste plastics into useable products like fuels is the amount of energy needed to do the conversion. So the question is if there is enough of a net gain in energy output to make it economically viable.

A Canadian company called Cielo Waste Solution Corp (CWSFF) is already doing this. Turning almost everything except dirt, glass and metal into renewable fuel. Small company that needs attention/support.
A company called recycling technologies is UK based and can take basically any plastic, including ones that you usually can't recycle such as crisp packets, and turn it back into oil that can be used as a feedstock for making new plastic and many other options

Surely the priority should be collecting the flotsam floating down the to mouth of those 10 rivers and turn it into fuel near the source
I love the way they r cleaning up and using plastic trash...congrats
You're thinking like a production manager... are you a production manager?
you are a visionary
The priority should be banning all single-use plastics that aren't completely necessary and crack down on littering.
The video simplified that there are many types of plastics, some of them you can not turn into fuel or they will disrupt the process of turning plastics into fuel. So a sorting job needs to be done before the plant can turn plastics into fuel.
On a similar line of thought. I work for a company that recycles tires into fuels, gases and carbon black. We recycle the entire tire. With our system we are currently recycling 1000 to 1500 pounds an hour of shredded tire. A similar large-scale system should be able to handle other types of plastics.

I really get emotional when I see/hear about sea pollution. IDK why but saving the fish is a matter that gets me a lot.
It's a damn shame man
Agreed, instead of throwing hundreds of billions (worldwide) at macking wind turbines, we should be spending much more money on cleaning up the oceans and beaches and educating Asian countries about being cleaner with their rubbish.
I know, I love eating fish so much. Getting plastic in my gut is probably gonna result in early death. Damn Oil corporation stealing my lifespan.
I'm right there with you. It makes me so upset.
Fish have tons of mercury in them because of pollution, it doesn't happen naturally
Sad to see, Bangladesh is contributing more plastic wastes even more than the US.
A scientist from here 🇧🇩 has invented a way to produce bags from jute what is disposable and looks exactly like plastic bag. Sad thing is that we are still not seeing any commercial use of that. Our government should ban plastic bags and promote jute bag
Jude was always used historically
Hi, can you please give me some more details about this new product? Thanks.
I have another data about it, UE and US make all that waste then export to China, Bangladesh or other "3rd world" country

they did. I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere. Problem, too expensive.
@@r3dp1ll Since when do bacteria charge for their services? ;) Just dump the bacteria into a problem spot and let them eat it up until they run out of food and die. Seems pretty cheap to me.

Amazing video mate, looking forward into the next one!
Dagogo, you're always on point man! Keep up the amazing work!
How much energy is "gained" by recycling the plastic as fuel? It seems like incineration with extra steps.
Regardless of whether energy is lost in the process, the important takeaway is that we are removing ocean plastics, microplastics and thus protecting our selves, our future generations and wildlife from consuming and bio-accumulating toxins like BPA.
@@itsover9008 I think there's enough plastic trash around to keep the pyrolysis industry going for a few years, so the financial potential should hopefully drive these entrepreneurs to clean up our planet asap! We can only hope...
More 'recovered' than gained. Synth-diesel is 66% cleaner burning than fossil fuels, and the gas produced in the process is fed back into the plant to heat the plastic, so no escape into the atmosphere, The small amount of hard 'char' that is left can be used in building materials.
@@robjworkshop5692 what is the char made up of?
Wow, the United States and Canada should top that list of the countries with the biggest plastic output. They send most of their plastic waste in the developing countries. Thought you should mention that in your video.
@ColdFusion
You should tell the history how humanity started using plastic more and more.
The battle between different products is a very interesting one!
So grateful for this video and the inspiration it has brought within myself dagogo.
VERY IMPORTANT topic. Recycling keep it out of the oceans for a few more years, not much considering the lifespan of plastics. The best solution is not to use them. Carry a nice stainless steel water bottle or coffee mug.
I agree. What do you personally use for food storage? Upcycled glass jars, or....?
@@brightbite TF. Steel boxes obviously. As an Indian, the only food containers were made of steel when I was growing up. You can take them anywhere.
@@TheFourthWinchester I wonder if I can find those here in non-ingeniuos USA. ha ha Thanks!
What about water? We need potent filtration systems in every home to clean that piss coming out of our faucets...
@@brightbite Yes I upcycle glass jars.
Replace coal plant with with nuclear, solar, hydro, wind. -> turn plastic into fuel -> use fuel to make more alterative energy sources repeat from step 2
Great video. Turning plastics to fuel is a great start which can be done on both local and large scale. Putting plastic catchments at the mouth of the most polluted rivers plus a converter next to it will stop the plastics before they enter the ocean and provide local people with basic fuels for mopeds etc. the river will act like a big collection and transport system leading down to the fuel converter.
Very hopeful at once with demonstrations of the solutions makes this one of the best videos.
7:18 Anyone else notice the "1 October 2019" publish date on a 21 August 2019 video? Am I missing something?

Why is making jet fuel better than incinerating plastic for electricity?
Plastic is one of those topics that gets swamped by green washing. So it's useful to look into the current efficiencies of the traditional and alternative production methods, as well as the theoretical efficiencies that could be achieved in future (like practical engineering with his hydrogen vs electric vs gas/diesel vids)
Why not do both?
Using hydrogen in cars is a very energey intense exercise and also very difficult to do on a grand scale.
@@dougie8010 why not put solar everywhere? Because it doesn't always make sense. So the interesting question is where does it make sense.
@@dougie8010 I wasn't asking about hydrogen, I was referring to the channel "practical engineering" who does great videos (ie hydrogen).
It probably isn't any better than incinerating plastic for electricity lol
Plus, we already have the technology to burn plastic for fuel and filter out all the toxic gases.
I wish you could have made it more clear as to how we are ingesting plastic on a daily basis. Great video as usual, thank you for your hard work to create the great vids.
I just heard about this Plastic to Fuel topic on the radio, a German scientist confirmed that this process requires a very large amount of energy, and to fuel every jet with this replacement fuel it would take at least 10 years before the process is refined enough. He proposed to develop new jet technologies rather than replacing one carbon fuel with another equally polluting.
More environmental innovation videos!
Cold fusions genuinely makes great videos and gets us to be aware of societies problems 🙏🙌🏻 best youtuber
We need a company that takes all the plastic from every where and makes a product.
Awesome video as usual. Keep up the good work.
I was expecting the "misleading" bar chart in the video depicting the world's largest plastic contributors, but we have to take into account that most waste from the West get exported to the aforementioned countries in the chart. I mean, how does the USA, a developed country, produce six times less waste than a developing country with a third of its population? Additionally, the "contributions" from Southeast Asia are more likely to increase as China has implemented its Operation National Sword, which will limit plastic exports from the West.
The chart doesn't show the plastic waste produced by a country, but rather the amount that goes into the oceans. That's why the USA ranks rather low. Only a small amount of plastics in the oceans originates from US coasts or rivers. However the plastic that originate from asian rivers might have been from the USA originally due to trade. So the underlying problem is the lack of legislation and technology to dispose of plastics (accumulated through trade and own production) in East Asia!
wow nice idea
Hi Dagogo my name is Jesse waweru from Nairobi, Kenya. I am a huge fan of your channel and i wanted to say thank you for just being able to expand my knowledge of the world from A.I, Blockchain, how big series and all the different categories you touch on. I really love it.
I loved the video and I was humbly requesting for a deeper video if possible of the current issues in climate change especially after the recent burning of thew amazon forest and the reduction of ice and glaciers in greenland and Iceland. Also " who controls our money" and also has there been any developing stories or significant improvements on blockchain and stem cell usage for curing diseases like Alzheimer.
This technology sounds interesting. Even though I find it hard to believe that it will be implemented on large scales to tackle the waste problem any better, compared to just burn the waste in a waste powerplant directly. Turning it into high quality fuel first will lower the efficiency by a lot.
I live in Europe and you can find manufacturers like Bic here, which sell stove lighters that are made of plastic, they are pretty big too, and they have no hole to refill after the gas runs out. They just expect you to throw it away and buy a new one every time. So I've switched to matches.
4:44 how do we “LEAN” up this mess ?
Cold fusion you always make one of the best videos on CZcams
Great video as always! You should take a look at 2 U.K. companies doing amazing things with end of life plastics. EQTEC and Powerhouse energy. Both turning plastics into energy, solving 2 problems at once. Could be another great video from Cold Fusion!
it's possible we could use up all the resources required to make plastic, I could imagine plastic mines being dug on old landfill sites.
I have been saying that for the past 45 years (I am 52). I think we will be mining our landfills for plastics and metals in the next 20 years. I could not agree with you more!
That's just plain wrong. SO wrong
Pumping fuel will always be cheaper than making fuel from plastic.

Ahem... and the cost of the fuel energy used to create the high heat to render the fuel byproduct ? Sounds like a moribund circle to me.
The energy could be produced by incinerators, so x amount of plastic is burned and y amount of plastic is turned into fuel.
I heard the idea of dropping it on a volcano. there's been a lot of ideas but they still expensive.
But it gets the plastics out of the enviroment, that's the point.
Wow, this is truly amazing!
In California the supposed laws to reduce plastic bags in grocery stores actually doubled the use of plastic bags consumers pay 10-25 cents per bag, which are plastic. In decades past grocery stores gave free paper bags.

Great. Finally Nicky Minaj can be put to use!
It's amazing it took so long for people to think of doing this
With Pyrolysis a catalyst is not needed, I’ve seen many vids of commercial, domestic and DIY Pyrolysis machines all of which just used heat to break the plastic down and got liquid fuel and a Syngas that is fed back into the Pyrolysis machine to keep the process running, an external gas source is only needed at the beginning to start the reaction.
I am not sure how I feel about seeing Sri Lanka on that list... especially as a Sri Lankan.

@@schnufflerunerwunscht8872 and you should not be proud either , you are sending your waste to Asian countries , just look who are the top consumers of plastic and what they are doing with their waste !
So you make fuel out of plastic, and then use it by burning it.
It's a lose lose situation.
Better than it floating around in the ocean.
not as much oil extracted.
Why is it lose lose? They are still gonna spend billions extracting oil from ocean beds anyway. Might as well reuse the waste plastic as fuel and get some of the plastic out of the oceans. Its not a perfect solution no doubt but still a very useful one.
It's not lose lose if it's needed. We haven't yet eliminated airplanes and airplanes aren't going to go electric any time soon so it's worth working on.
There is a great use of plastic in making long lasting and low maintenance tar for roads.
More relishing to temperature, rain and usage based wear we see in regular roads.
Remember learning about a few years ago, the problem back then was scalability, however the cost was still pretty low.
That process also needs very clean plastic, but that wasn’t a bug issue.
I think a company from Bangalore or Chennai (India) was spearheading the adoption.
Another great way to recycle and use plastic.
I think this method was used in India to make fuel out of plastic long time ago .. was developed by student of Indian institute of technology . I think I read about this conversion in 2015 and now in India it's being used commercially as well .
7:17 min e-paper Applied energy mentioned date as 1st- October-2019 and today's date is Aug 31st....who is fooling who...😥
Online publications can be pre-releases of actual publications. The 1st of October is the due date.
Why aren’t we funding this in a global scale
Because there's no global government. Also even if scalable, it's not clear if the fuel produced is cheaper that traditional refineries (the idea being of course the recycled fuel replaced traditional production).
Its still a new discovery from what i see
The date in paper are 2019
Also, there is more money to be made in fighting global warming. Australia spends billions on trying to lower their co2 levels, resulting in skyrocketing utility costs.
The world should divert SOME of that money to cleaning up oceans.
Because muricans need to destroy the world more
Because Trump is building a wall. China is going to the moon. UK paying brexit bills.
30 or 35 years ago, I had an American professor who taught “pollution monitoring in groundwater” and he said that the big problem is when we transform one pollution into a worse one. Look at common plastic: it is visible, solid and reacts little with water or air. Then, they invented “biodegradable plastic” that actually turns into “microplastics” that we don’t see, but are present in water and also in dust that can enter the lungs. Turning plastic into fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) is not ending pollution, but transforming it into something more harmful to the environment. When pyrolyzing plastic, a lot of energy is used and generally comes from polluting generators (there is no generation of energy without side effects), and what was solid and relatively inert will be transformed into CO2 and other harmful gases. And what to do with the rest of the pyrolized plastic? This professor prophetically said: the end of the world will not be through a huge nuclear explosion or a huge asteroid, but, silently buried in garbage, with no air to breathe and no water to drink.
