Want to convert your old plastic cups into petrol? Read on !

Several dozen Polish companies are interested in cooperation with Zbigniew Tokarz, inventor of a peculiar machine that is able to produce petrol out of plastic joghurt cups, car bumpers or foil. One machine can produce 500 liters of petrol per hour, which means that 360 tones of waste could be recycled this way each month by a single unit. Since Monday, when Gazeta Wyborcza's advertisement of the machine was published, the editor's office received hundreds of thousands calls. Association of Plastic Products Producers (Stowarzyszenie Przetwórców Tworzyw Sztucznych) and many other companies that are flooded with tones of plastic waste have been waiting for such solution for ages. "Plastic waste is our biggest problem. We do not know what to do with it. And now we could produce energy - it is a brilliant idea!", said Jerzy Krajewski, member of the board of SPTS.
