OW2.0:Plastic to Oil Fantastic



From the video description: "The Japanese company Blest has developed one of the smallest and safest oil-to-plastic conversion machines out on the market today. It's founder and CEO, Akinori Ito is passionate about using this machine to change the way people around the world think about their plastic trash. From solving our landfill and garbage disposal issues to reducing our oil dependancy on the Middle East, his machine may one day be in every household across Japan.

While holding up a bag of trash, he states, "It's a waste to throw away, isn't it? This is a treasure."
