Plastic waste and tyres?
In light of the current fuel prices, how come HMG, councils, recycling businesses don't invest in a few of these?

Or would it be reason for or Government to put duty on plastics?
I for one am considering the household unit, the oil produced to run a diesel generator in order to power the machine, and vans?

I would suggest it's not as easy as they are suggesting.
Tyres are the one problem everyone has when running recycling or scrap yards.
You can chip them and use them for playgrounds and horse stables but if it was that easy to make diesel everyone would be at it.
Plus the VAT man would be all over you for his cut they're not going to let you knock out fuel for free.
If you buy it let me know I've a mate sitting on 100,000 baled tyres.
Let you have them cheap.Fox-and-horses likes this.We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
The shame will always be with us.

Aye but what about the costs of shipping from the States? availibility of spares and servicing? Not to mention the government slapping some tax on the stuff?

Sounds as though it could be a Nigerian Scam to me.

I heard about some gippoes who rented a big mill in the north east.
They were advertising to dispose of scrap tires at a knockdown price.
When the mill was full to the ceilings with scrap tires..... the gippoes vanished.

Scrap tyres are a toxic nightmare. especially when they burn.

I think you might find the licensing requirements to run such a plant in the UK are a tad different from the US. Backyard recycling isn't quite so easy here...

Maybe not, but if the tyres are torched by accident or arson it would be an environmental disaster.
