A squat, light-colored building in Tigard, Oregon, was supposed to be part of a game-changing new solution for the global plastics industry.

The process also requires large amounts of energy to prepare the waste, heat the reactor and separate the chemicals, said Taylor Uekert, a research analyst at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory who researches plastics recycling.
