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.

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.
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 don't like neither to eat plastic nor to see all those plastics in landfill and oceans, but you've shown who are the major contributors of plastic. So all those counties in the top list should do something.

The best solution is reduction, and disuse. Bring reusable jugs to be filled with laundry detergent, and household cleaners, instead of one time bottles. Significant cost is in the container, so the product is cheaper. Testimony from small Asian vendor stated that when people brought their containers to be filled, and charged by weight there was no plastic in the waterway then travel sizes were sold and trash both continuously and completely covered the waterway. Bottles weren't entirely clean, so the contents went into the water. Reusable containers weren't exposed to water because more of the same would go into them.
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.
@ColdFusion You should tell the history how humanity started using plastic more and more. The battle between different products is a very interesting one!
From what I understand, this onenis at least based on real, already-existent technology lol Unlike solar roadways, tankless scuba masks, plastic roads, water condensers that don't need electricity to turn humidity into drinking water, self-filling wster bottles, the hyperloop, machines that runnel at 1/100th the coast, scanners that tell you the ingredients of your food, passenger rockets, crane-operated stone block towers that store electricity, thorium cars, real hoverboards...
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 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.
If you want to just burn it to solve the waste problem, you can easily make gasoline from plastic at home. There are also ready made units you can buy to do it for you, too. It's a simple process that just requires heat. So it does use energy. But then you get gasoline, so.
Lots of people do know about this kind of thing - Quantafuel in Norway already do this on a large scale. One of the images showed a guy in a yellow hard-hat siphoning-off diesel from a tap; that was Cynar PLC in Ireland, who strangely went into liquidation in 2016. There's a good vid on Al Jazeera documenting them. There's loads more vids on YT showing pyrolysis plants in India, and even a guy in Australia who's built his own system in his backyard! The science and process is quite basic, so I don't know why we're not seeing more of these globally - or could it be the oil giants aren't happy about the competition of cleaner and possibly cheaper fuels...?
I live in a city that lost $250,000 last year in their recycling program. So they just this last week canceled it saying they can't afford the costs from the recycling companies. Very sad.
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.
This sounds like a nice idea, but I can't help but think about some of the implications of creating more "fossil" fuels, when we already have a few problems with _that_ as well. It's sort of sounds like having two problems and solving one by making the other one worse.
For the people who are saying burning plastic would cause pollution: Gasoline/gas/petrol which is used as fuel in our vehicles can be made from plastic(polyethylene). poly= many, i.e, a long chain of ethylene if the chain is broken into small a small one we get Gasoline which you use in your car. polyethylene- (c2h4)n and gasoline is C8H18. it has a POTENTIAL as fuel............

@@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 instead of letting it destroy the environment by leaving it in the ground and ocean, we’re going to let it destroy the environment by burning it? Lol
We could make water tanks out of all the plastic with pipes going out into the desert areas where water is need. Use it to combat another environmental issue. Maybe huge above ground dams for farm areas. Swimming pools for inland towns and cities. Huge water tanks for water storage.
it is very ground breaking as long as it doesn't pollute further, plastic ought to be converted into building material since it doesn't break so easily instead of cement or other material. building will not break apart even in earthquakes.
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).
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.
The more plastic is converted into jet fuel or other procuts, the less petroleum is needed for these applications. I see these eforts as extremely valid and positive. In the long run, it fullfills the goal of not having plastics dumped into the sea or used as landfills.
Ok, so what about the energy cost of turning plastic into fuel? The amount of energy used during the process should be at least the same as the difference between energy between the start and end products, which means turning plastic into fuel would not be great for our carbon footprint, especially considering the fact that burning said fuel releases even more carbon. This process is essentially putting all of the carbon from the plastic waste (and probably about double that thanks to the production method) into our atmosphere, which is a really bad idea.
I see I am very late to the party. Licella is an emerging Australian company which has developed working large scale high temperature and pressure fractionating plants to break down all plastics and biomass without the necessity to sort. Result is a liquid which is effectively diesel fuel. It can be used as fuel or better still new plastics. So initiating a plastics to recovery to plastics cycle. I recall an estimate that 20 such plants could deal with Australia’s plastics problem. It also turns biomass into the same output
Actually, as at 22/08/19, BBC and WHO have decided most microplastics pass through the body and pose no health risk at current levels, but more research needs to be carried out as to long term effects.
The fuel made from plastic can be used for making energy at energy plants with carbon capture. This way it definitely can be an environmentally friendly solution.
What we take a large container cargo ship converted into a seaworthy plastics oil refinery. A fleet of at least four, in rotation in harvesting waste plastics in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans would be a good start. Automation and robotics would minimize laborious and repetitive tasks. While also mitigating associated risks.

While most western countries ship most of their garbage to Asia as "recyclables". And recently these countries banned them. Canada was shipping their so called garbage and recyclables to Philippines too.
Inspiring video. But is it? In a world mostly bent on moving away from internal combustion engines, finding a way to produce more fuel from plastic, spanned all over the globe, may not have its day in the sun. The technology seems in its infancy, or maybe its adolescence, but for it to be used successfully thousands of machines would be need to be seeded all over the world. That could take another 8-10 years, if all goes well. All the while the use of electric motors will increase substantially as we've already seen. It seems like it will depend on the timing. The one area that this will make a difference for some time to come is right in the click bait title (although this is a good one). Jet fuel. Right now batteries are far too heavy to start building electric turbine engines for jets. And, it seems it's going to stay that way for some time to come. Making fuel for the airline industry would seem the best way to make a practical real start. It's a smaller focus as to where the fuel would be used, airliners would love to save any money on fuel and this could end up being the cheapest way, and they use a lot of jet fuel. Estimated use of jet fuel for all of 2018 in the world is 83,919,705,882 gallons. Even here this activated charcoal process would only seem to make a small dent, especially early on. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. And hope the timing lines up just right.
Yeah this is called “thermal depolymerization”, using heat and pressure. you can use more than just plastic but even organic materials that are carbon based. Such as wood (cellulose) and animal by products, tires, and potentially most landfill materials. But many people called it sci fiction because .... big oil didn’t want this to happen. Btw it was making multiple forms of fuel because it was essentially making oil/fuel much close to crude than just kerosene and diesel.
The only problem I see with the idea of converting the plastic into jet fuel is the amount of energy it takes to produce it. I'm all for cleaning up the invironment but it has to be efficient enough for the fuel to be either the same or preferably below the current price at the time. If you can make it the same price then the airlines can advertise that they are doing their bit to clean up the invironment and probably get more customers.
You should have mentioned the high energy requirement for the conversion, which is likely why these technology have not found widespread adoption so far.
I worked at a county-owned convention center, the county wanted us to only use recycled plates and flatware, all of that stuff is made in china from the trash we send them, now, here is the kicker, there is no recycling program for these used recycled plates and flatware, so they end up going to the trash and finally into a landfill. I guess that is the new circle of life
Awesome! I believe recycling and composting are essential. They are the first gesture to a zero waste society. A funny fact; Some countries in Northern Europe have to import recycling from the neighboring countries to sustain their recycling industry. I believe worm composting is a fabulous investment. More than 30% of the energy spent on burning our trash is because of organic matter, when we could be transforming it into soil. That would be a cool video.
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.

Bottles weren't entirely clean, so the contents went into the water. Reusable containers weren't exposed to water because more of the same would go into them.
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.
4:44 how do we “LEAN” up this mess ?
@ColdFusion
You should tell the history how humanity started using plastic more and more.
The battle between different products is a very interesting one!
Legend has it, Thunderfoot is making his response to this video soon enough lol.
Jokes aside, hopefully this works. *fingers crossed*
From what I understand, this onenis at least based on real, already-existent technology lol
Unlike solar roadways, tankless scuba masks, plastic roads, water condensers that don't need electricity to turn humidity into drinking water, self-filling wster bottles, the hyperloop, machines that runnel at 1/100th the coast, scanners that tell you the ingredients of your food, passenger rockets, crane-operated stone block towers that store electricity, thorium cars, real hoverboards...
Ok
Whoo the hell watches that stupid thunderfoot
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 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.
at 10:37 theres one frame that shows a man with face shield standing above some rubbish. I bet not many people noticed this
Cold fusions genuinely makes great videos and gets us to be aware of societies problems 🙏🙌🏻 best youtuber
I like how the lady and the dude both put a plastic bottle back on the lawn at 05:30, take that nature!
If you want to just burn it to solve the waste problem, you can easily make gasoline from plastic at home. There are also ready made units you can buy to do it for you, too. It's a simple process that just requires heat. So it does use energy. But then you get gasoline, so.
But will it melt steel beams?
It will melt steal memes
7/11 was a part time job!
Lots of people do know about this kind of thing - Quantafuel in Norway already do this on a large scale. One of the images showed a guy in a yellow hard-hat siphoning-off diesel from a tap; that was Cynar PLC in Ireland, who strangely went into liquidation in 2016. There's a good vid on Al Jazeera documenting them. There's loads more vids on YT showing pyrolysis plants in India, and even a guy in Australia who's built his own system in his backyard! The science and process is quite basic, so I don't know why we're not seeing more of these globally - or could it be the oil giants aren't happy about the competition of cleaner and possibly cheaper fuels...?
Can use glasses bottle and only recicled plastic and only produce recicle plastic
Best ad placement ever. Video says "let's look at the top polluters in the world" then interrupted by an SC Johnson ad.
I live in a city that lost $250,000 last year in their recycling program. So they just this last week canceled it saying they can't afford the costs from the recycling companies. Very sad.
Great. Finally Nicky Minaj can be put to use!
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.
Humankind's footprint size for plastic production may soon pass the footprint size of our "I Love Lucy" episodes broadcasted into space.
This sounds like a nice idea, but I can't help but think about some of the implications of creating more "fossil" fuels, when we already have a few problems with _that_ as well. It's sort of sounds like having two problems and solving one by making the other one worse.
The Video starts from here: 7:05
I value time
OMG.....thanks for the likes
For the people who are saying burning plastic would cause pollution:
Gasoline/gas/petrol which is used as fuel in our vehicles can be made from plastic(polyethylene).
poly= many, i.e, a long chain of ethylene if the chain is broken into small a small one we get Gasoline which you use in your car.
polyethylene- (c2h4)n and gasoline is C8H18.
it has a POTENTIAL as fuel............
I am not sure how I feel about seeing Sri Lanka on that list... especially as a Sri Lankan.
You should feel ashamed and do something about it. Just go out and clean beaches and riverbeds. Doesn't make sense for us in the western world to fly out there and do it ourselves.
@@schnufflerunerwunscht8872 Can't we just blame the government and move on like we usually do? Man I wish I could go to the beach whenever I want to... even if it is to clean. There are laws prohibiting plastic bag usage and stuff and yet still. Hmm... that law was not that old and that ... data was from 2010. Maybe things are different now, idk.
I wonder what the Indonesians and chinese are doing about this, maybe we can follow their lead.
@@naseef2075 I hope your first point is a joke... Indonesians and chinese are doing it probably still worse. Good people don't need someone else who they can follow, they just do something. The biggest problem is in the heads of the people. Even if you can't clean up, you can raise the awareness in your community.
@@schnufflerunerwunscht8872 Isn't that too obvious that it's a joke?
There's nothing much I can do right now as a highschool student. Plastic is banned at our school btw.
@@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 !

HEY... STOP RIGHT THERE...!
So instead of letting it destroy the environment by leaving it in the ground and ocean, we’re going to let it destroy the environment by burning it? Lol
Thank you for the good reporting as always Dagogo!
We could make water tanks out of all the plastic with pipes going out into the desert areas where water is need.
Use it to combat another environmental issue.
Maybe huge above ground dams for farm areas.
Swimming pools for inland towns and cities.
Huge water tanks for water storage.
I am surprised you did not talk about using plastic in making roads. Mr. Rajagopalan Vasudevan sure deserves a mention.
it is very ground breaking as long as it doesn't pollute further, plastic ought to be converted into building material since it doesn't break so easily instead of cement or other material. building will not break apart even in earthquakes.
This is not new , I read about it in 2011-12
Cold fusion you always make one of the best videos on UA-cam
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.
In India there are some plants where plastics are changed into fuel
The more plastic is converted into jet fuel or other procuts, the less petroleum is needed for these applications. I see these eforts as extremely valid and positive. In the long run, it fullfills the goal of not having plastics dumped into the sea or used as landfills.
We can also make more long team things from plastic. The issue is so much stuff that's made from plastic is short term.
Ok, so what about the energy cost of turning plastic into fuel? The amount of energy used during the process should be at least the same as the difference between energy between the start and end products, which means turning plastic into fuel would not be great for our carbon footprint, especially considering the fact that burning said fuel releases even more carbon. This process is essentially putting all of the carbon from the plastic waste (and probably about double that thanks to the production method) into our atmosphere, which is a really bad idea.
I see I am very late to the party.
Licella is an emerging Australian company which has developed working large scale high temperature and pressure fractionating plants to break down all plastics and biomass without the necessity to sort. Result is a liquid which is effectively diesel fuel. It can be used as fuel or better still new plastics. So initiating a plastics to recovery to plastics cycle. I recall an estimate that 20 such plants could deal with Australia’s plastics problem. It also turns biomass into the same output
I heard a research who talk about plastic in the air. We got some particules of plastic in the air, just like we got some pollens.
Guess jet fuel is going to be common in lambo and 2077
Get it cyberpunk
Actually, as at 22/08/19, BBC and WHO have decided most microplastics pass through the body and pose no health risk at current levels, but more research needs to be carried out as to long term effects.
The fuel made from plastic can be used for making energy at energy plants with carbon capture. This way it definitely can be an environmentally friendly solution.
Do you know that South Korea is already biofuel system already running?
What we take a large container cargo ship converted into a seaworthy plastics oil refinery. A fleet of at least four, in rotation in harvesting waste plastics in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans would be a good start. Automation and robotics would minimize laborious and repetitive tasks. While also mitigating associated risks.
China is world's biggest producer of plastic waste …
Also , most advancement in recycle of plastic are done by Chinese …
Interesting..
Kick China out of Nepal before they own you like other countries under their loan scheme.
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.
If used motor oil , mix with plastic melt mixed then add ethenol columetric distill into asphalt , wax , kerosene oil , gasoline , jet fuel in order at different heigh of distillation column
Err? "Volume 251, 1 st of october 2019?" Is this study legit?
It's amazing it took so long for people to think of doing this
While most western countries ship most of their garbage to Asia as "recyclables". And recently these countries banned them. Canada was shipping their so called garbage and recyclables to Philippines too.
Inspiring video. But is it? In a world mostly bent on moving away from internal combustion engines, finding a way to produce more fuel from plastic, spanned all over the globe, may not have its day in the sun. The technology seems in its infancy, or maybe its adolescence, but for it to be used successfully thousands of machines would be need to be seeded all over the world. That could take another 8-10 years, if all goes well. All the while the use of electric motors will increase substantially as we've already seen. It seems like it will depend on the timing.
The one area that this will make a difference for some time to come is right in the click bait title (although this is a good one). Jet fuel. Right now batteries are far too heavy to start building electric turbine engines for jets. And, it seems it's going to stay that way for some time to come. Making fuel for the airline industry would seem the best way to make a practical real start.
It's a smaller focus as to where the fuel would be used, airliners would love to save any money on fuel and this could end up being the cheapest way, and they use a lot of jet fuel. Estimated use of jet fuel for all of 2018 in the world is 83,919,705,882 gallons. Even here this activated charcoal process would only seem to make a small dent, especially early on.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. And hope the timing lines up just right.
A lot of your videos give me hope for the future.
Thanks for being a positive force in life
Yeah this is called “thermal depolymerization”, using heat and pressure. you can use more than just plastic but even organic materials that are carbon based. Such as wood (cellulose) and animal by products, tires, and potentially most landfill materials. But many people called it sci fiction because .... big oil didn’t want this to happen. Btw it was making multiple forms of fuel because it was essentially making oil/fuel much close to crude than just kerosene and diesel.
Awesome Content!!! I knew it was bad but you really opened my eyes about the plastic issue!!
in India some companies are using
plastic for building road and bricks
The only problem I see with the idea of converting the plastic into jet fuel is the amount of energy it takes to produce it. I'm all for cleaning up the invironment but it has to be efficient enough for the fuel to be either the same or preferably below the current price at the time. If you can make it the same price then the airlines can advertise that they are doing their bit to clean up the invironment and probably get more customers.
You should have mentioned the high energy requirement for the conversion, which is likely why these technology have not found widespread adoption so far.
*_It's good to know that people are working on the solution._* 👍👍
Don't rely on others to fix a problem we're all guilty of. We need to stop using single use plastics outright.
@@CoderShare *it's right but it's a two way efforts ie, both people and govt should take the responsibility.*
There is a small company in Thika,Kenya that has been doing this for years
Hi from Thailand - where I regularly see people putting single-wrapped bananas into a plastic bag. I feel like there's no hope...
We need this! Stop tearing up the land for fuel.
I worked at a county-owned convention center, the county wanted us to only use recycled plates and flatware, all of that stuff is made in china from the trash we send them, now, here is the kicker, there is no recycling program for these used recycled plates and flatware, so they end up going to the trash and finally into a landfill. I guess that is the new circle of life
Why push "reduce" to the consumer? Why aren't companies that make plastic, like Pepsi or Nestle, REDUCING their plastic production?
Power plants regularly produce that level of heat plus they have a need for fuel. You could end up with a power plant that runs on plastic!
Awesome! I believe recycling and composting are essential. They are the first gesture to a zero waste society. A funny fact; Some countries in Northern Europe have to import recycling from the neighboring countries to sustain their recycling industry. I believe worm composting is a fabulous investment. More than 30% of the energy spent on burning our trash is because of organic matter, when we could be transforming it into soil. That would be a cool video.
