Researchers at Virginia Tech have found a way to upcycle plastic into soap. Around 120 grams to 130 grams of plastic can make 100 grams of soap.

I want to know the energy used to create soap from this as opposed to our current method. Also it sounds like the broken down plastic might be utilized for other organic compounds. It would be great if they could break it down to a small chain of just two carbons, six hydrogens, and an oxygen.
They probably could but you wouldn’t want to drink it though!
don’t tell me what I won’t drink :)
