A process has been invented for turning a mixture of all types of plastics back to the chemical components in liquid form that then can then be processed as a new raw material to make new plastics or even car fuel.
The great thing about that is that there is no need to separate out the different types of plastic in the plastic waste before recycling; An otherwise all-too-common common major stumbling block to many plastic recycling ideas.
The process uses very hot water at very high pressures.

I tried but so far failed to also find a text-article about that for anyone that doesn't like youtubes. Anyone?
