Now, an ocean clean-up company Kaisei has joined hands with Covanta to set up an initiative that could help recycle all the plastic waste into diesel fuel! Currently, Covanta is busy sketching out plans for a system that can convert the solid waste into a diesel substitute.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nHopefully, plans like these do work out as soon as possible and that island of trash disappears forever from the Pacific blues!<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/1690136\/project-kaisei-covanta-energy-working-to-turn-the-plastic-vortex-into-diesel-fuel?partner=rss&#038;utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed:+fastcompany\/headlines+(Fast+Company+Headlines)\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">fastcompany<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out there in the Pacific Ocean, a great patch of disgusting garbage has been bobbing its head up and down the waves all this while.
