Thats why I talked about using renewable energy. If we could have a closed loop system where the plastic is turned into oil and then turned back into plastic, we could minimize excess plastic waste + not use any more oil from the ground.

Solving the wrong problem IMO - Even if you reach 100% efficient reprocessing a portion of plastic enters the environment on each usage cycle, and this is the problem we urgently need to solve.

Switching out to materials which decompose harmlessly is a better option all round, even if the energy costs are higher.
