Julian Brown, also known as Nature Lab, invented a method to convert plastic waste into usable fuel using microwave pyrolysis. His handmade continuous microwave pyrolysis reactor can convert mixed, sorted, clean, or dirty plastic waste into fuel at $0 a gallon. The process yields diesel, gasoline, and carbon black as a byproduct.
After an explosion that caused second-degree burns, Julian discovered that his car's lug nuts had been loosened, nearly causing an accident. He believes this was not a coincidence.
He is now working on a solar-powered version of his reactor, envisioning a future where plastic waste becomes valuable and fuels our lives. He claims over 3.4 billion plastic items are discarded daily, and his invention could change the fight against pollution.
