Transforming Garbage into Oil: The Innovative Process of Changing World Technologies

The video discusses how Changing World Technologies is converting waste materials into oil using a process called thermal depolymerization (TDP). This process mimics natural oil formation but is much faster. The company claims it can produce oil at a lower cost and with high energy efficiency. Despite skepticism about its large-scale viability, the US government and private investors are supporting the initiative. A partnership with ConAgra has led to a plant that converts turkey waste into oil, showcasing the potential of this technology.
