Good grief, turning a WASTE product into energy has almost zero energy inputs because the input isn't created for energy use in the first place like ethanol is.
The energy is only net negative if you included the energy and inputs required to make the plastic in the first place, but nobody is suggesting that plastic be cultivated for the purpose using it for energy. Anything that happened to create the input is of nobody's concern when it comes to a waste product.
