Question:

Is there any possible way to turn plastic into energy?

We have to much plastic and not enough energy - is it possible to turn plastic INTO energy?

Answer:

Since plastic is petroleum based, I don't see why not
start it on fire, and the smoke could power tiny little windmills that turn windpower into electricity:D
Not that I know of. Plastic and Energy are two elements. It could be possible, but I am not sure.

Yes! okorder /... My husband and I run our city's Recycling Center and right now he is helping our local Environmental Management Authority to look into turning the tons of plastic that we collect into diesel fuel for the EMA's vehicles. It can be done! And since plastic can only be recycled once, it makes sense to turn some of it into fuel.
