    With the pyrolysis or the other couple of methods they worked out it actually turns it back into a raw material that can be reused to make new plastic. It’s not as cheap as the methods where they just kind of heated up and melt it back together to become lawn furniture, but it leads to a quality plastic replacement product

      There’s absolutely no benefit compared to just burning it and using plant based materials as a resource.
