We found a very interesting article on Our World 2.0 telling the story of a Japanese company called Blest which have developed one of the smallest and safest plastic-to-oil conversion machines out on the market today. It’s founder and CEO, Akinori Ito is passionate about using this machine to change the way people around the world think about their plastic rubbish. From solving our landfill and rubbish disposal issues to reducing our oil dependency on the Middle East, his machine may one day be in every household across Japan.
When the article was re-published, just over six months ago, the video brief about the invention of the plastic-to-oil converting machine had got a viral boost and had exceeded 115,000 views on YouTube, today is has almost 2 million hits.
As stated on the article this is evidence that concern over “the plastic problem” is certainly not going away.
While holding up a bag of rubbish, Akinori Ito states, “It’s a waste to throw away, isn’t it? This is a treasure.”
