Mpumalanga man turns plastic into fuel - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

It was a light bulb moment; turning trash into treasure. While experimenting with plastic, Shabangu was inspired to make liquid fuel from plastic.

“I cooked it, tried to open it while it was on the fire. Then the steam went up with a flame and smell of petrol. I had an idea that I might take out the petrol.” All the plastic is cooked at 400 degrees Celsius heat in an air tight reactor to produce diesel, petrol and gas. Shabangu uses the remains to make polish and candles.Those who have used the fuel are pleased with the results.

The Nkomazi Local Municipality, in Mpumalanga, has pledged its support. The municipality’s Cyril Riphinga says that they will look into helping Shabangu with issues such as trademarking. “Our local economic development department in the municipality is looking into that matter. They are engaging municipal lawyers to make sure that they assist with the trademark and all related issues.”“I am cleaning the environment and also making sure we can create job opportunities among ourselves.”WATCH VIDEO BELOW:
