Did you know that plastic can be broken down into fuel, it takes about 8 pounds of plastic waste to produce a gallon of gasoline.

If you didn't know already, the plastic recycling industry is severely under-performing. Only 9 percent of plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. Leaving 91 percent of all plastic ever produced still out there polluting the world.

Plastic can definitely be recycled back into the gasoline, however the whole reason why they do not do this is because oil is a renewable resource and dirt cheap to produce, and the other reason is because if they recycled all the plastic into gas, it would mean gas prices would have to come down drastically, which greedy corporations do not want.
