Due to the high demand for energy in the world today, crude oil, one of the largest sources is being heavily relied on. To fulfill the energy demand, crude oil production is increasing every year. According to World Crude Oil Demand and Supply source nearly 26.28 billion barrels of crude oil is produced each year whereas, the consumption is 28.57 billion barrels per year. The deficient amount is generated from other sources such as Solar, Wind, Hydrogen, Geothermal and other alternate sources. Petroleum derives from crude oil; petroleum is then is used for daily transportation use and production of plastics for daily use. In 2008, 245 million tons of plastics were produced worldwide. After daily use the plastics becomes abundant and occupies landfill. The exposure of these waste plastics to air creates many problems to the environment. Natural State Research Inc. (NSR) (patent pending process) has developed a simple and economically viable process to remove these waste plastics from landfill and converting them into liquid hydrocarbon material fuels. Environmental friendly technology and can be produced at a very low production cost.
