PRC 2012: What's next in plastics-to-oil?

Mixed waste plastic that is commingled and contaminated creates recycling obstacles and generally presents a low-value stream that inevitably leads to landfilling. Plastics-to-oil (PTO) technology can address this issue, but is there a promising future for the commercialization of PTO? New research funded by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) will be presented that critically examines this issue and three companies offer their perspectives on the future of PTO technology.
