RE: Wastebot - Turns Trash into Fuel Gas and Electric Power
By transforming plastic into fuel with Wastebot, plastic becomes too valuable to throw away.
I am just wondering, if this would trigger of plastic usage again ? Fortunately plastic is banned at my place now, and we have now got good bags which are not plastic and will easily decompose.
Wonderful to note that plastic is banned at your place though I don't know how effectively it's being implemented. But your feedback here gives me hope.
Plastic bags are banned in my city too. But there are only a few periods of time when it's strictly implemented. Otherwise, it's life as usual.
But even if there is no plastic, this equipment should be helpful in disposing other organic wastes and converting them into useful energy. And if technology can deal with 100% of plastic waste, we shouldn't bother much about increase in its usage ...but only after we have got some practical solution in place. Until then, we need to continue campaigning against plastic.
