 Summary
Price hikes are causing a shift towards sustainable
energy alternatives, such as plastics made from fossil
fuels. Pyrolysis, a process that converts plastic waste into
liquid hydrocarbons, reduces the need for fossil fuels and
bridges the gap between conventional and sustainable
energy sources. This approach benefits both businesses
and consumers by providing pricing stability and
reducing transportation costs.
