The chemical conversion of post-use plastics into ultra-low-sulfur diesel (compared to traditional diesel manufacturing) is environmentally beneficial in several ways. One example is the considerable reduction in the energy used to produce diesel fuel: chemical conversion of post-use plastics into ultra-low-sulfur diesel requires 96 percent less energy to produce than traditional diesel manufacturing.
