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.
HS, The ethanol comparison is not relevant to P2O. The feedstock (waste plastic) is WASTE plastic... meaning big companies are paying huge amounts in tipping fees just to landfill it! Nobody is making plastic for the sole purpose of waste to energy. The waste plastic's purpose is spent and currently there are very few options to get any value from it. (See Crayola) P2O provides companies (currently land-filling their waste plastic) a solution to turn that loss into a profit- turning a material that has negative value into a commodity that has positive value.
