Published by Statista Research Department, Jun 1, 2015
As of 2015, polystyrene resin accounted for a high plastic-to-fuel conversion rate, as around 80 to 85 percent of the material can be converted. As plastic production increases worldwide, the amount of this material's waste in landfills and the ocean has reached critical levels. Plastics-to-fuel (PTF) is a technology that aims to make use of the energy value of plastics to produce alternative fuel sources.
