Turning plastic to fuel, science breakthrough or Big Oil greenwashing? You decide.

Yale researchers just achieved a breakthrough in plastic-to-fuel conversion—66% yield, no expensive catalysts. But ProPublica's investigation reveals the fossil fuel industry is using this innovation to greenwash products and perpetuate the plastic crisis. Here's how pyrolysis became the perfect deception.

Key Takeaways: Yale's 66% chemical yield ≠ 66% plastic yield (only 15–20% becomes reusable plastic) 90%+ of naphtha used is virgin fossil fuel, not recycled Mass balance accounting inflates 'recycled' percentages (greenwashing) Pyrolysis could replace only 0.2% of global plastic production Real solution: reduce plastic production, not recycle it better #ScienceExplained #PlasticCrisis #Greenwashing #Yale #Pyrolysis #EnvironmentalJustice #FossilFuels #Sustainability #ProPublica #Investigation #ChemicalRecycling #AdvancedRecycling #PlasticPollution #ClimateAction #ConsumerAwareness #Science
