How to turn plastic bottles into $78 million of biofuel – Egypt

Meet Azza Abdel Hamid Faiad. The 16-year-old Egyptian high schooler has just come up with a way to turn non-biodegradable plastic waste into clean-burning biofuel. Considering that in Egypt about 1 million tons of discarded plastic pile up in landfills each year, her discovery would allow the country convert all that trash into $78 million worth of ethanol annually.
We wish her well, but some how we see blocks to not allow this to eventuate into something comercial. Used plastic collection being a big one.
