Best Answer

"Crude oil" is "oil" - petroleum. Plastics such as polyethylene (food containers) and polystyrene(general plastics and styrofoam) are made from fractions of crude oil. Polycarbonate plastics are made indirectly through the production of phosgene and its use to make acetone and bisphenol-A.

firstly make the waste plastic heated,when the temperature reached 250 ℃,then the waste plastic will become oil gas.

secondly cool the oil gas in a condenser,the gas will be crude palm oil.

lastly the crude palm oil can be further processed into desel oil or gasonline.

it is a green way to protect the environment,of couse,it can also bring economics profits.
