Plastic shopping bag can make clean diesel

Plastic shopping bags, an abundant source of litter on land and at sea, can be converted into diesel, natural gas and other useful energy, researchers report.

The conversion produces significantly more energy than it requires and results in transportation fuels – diesel, for example – that can be blended with existing ultra-low-sulfur diesels and biodiesels. Other products, such as natural gas, naphtha (a solvent), gasoline, waxes and lubricating oils such as engine oil and hydraulic oil also can be obtained from shopping bags.
