CEO perusahaan JBI, Inc., John Bordynuik, memegang setoples bahan bakar yang diproduksi dari limbah plastik. (VOA/D.

Mesin pembuat bahan bakar dari plastik itu disebut "monster pemakan plastik." Setiap jam, ribuan kilogram potongan botol susu, botol air dan kantung belanja masuk ke dalam ruangan pembakaran besar.
