Two excerpts:

The ground-breaking Envion Oil Generator (EOG) gave its first public
performance at the Montgomery County Solid Waste Transfer Station in
Derwood, Maryland recently. The EOG can be fed almost any
petroleum-based waste plastic and will convert it into synthetic light
to medium oil for less than USD$10 per barrel. As with crude oil, the
synthetic oil can then be processed into commercial fuels or even back
into plastic.

Unlike current recycling methods, where mixing different kinds of
plastic is a big no-no, the EOG has an 'all plastic is welcome'
policy, no segregation here! Polyethylene terephthalate (PET); high
and low density polyethylenes (HDPE and LDPE); polyvinyl chloride
(PVC); polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) as well as several
other plastic materials, such as GPPS, EPS, HIPS, and PA, can all be
converted to oil by the unit.

The company estimates that its solution would have been able to accept
and process between 60-80 percent of the total plastic waste thrown
away in the U.S. in 2007 (based on EPA statistics).

I'm pretty sure this is all based on Thermal Depolymerization or TDP.

In a similar vein the millions of worn out vehicle tyres can be 100% recycled
with zero waste, residue or emissions using Molectra. Even the oil content in
the rubber is recovered and can be used as diesel fuel.

The question becomes does the energy it consumes equal or exceed the

energy it recycles.

I think my Dodge truck came with some of that - tires shredded in 5
years (all four).
