thats very neat!!! it seems like a pretty easy concept. I wonder whats left in the heated container after the oil is abstracted.

I agree it is neat. However what wasn't told is how much it cost to purchase the machine and any upkeep. I'd be willing that the cost benfit ratio to get it back into oil is more than buying oil and disposing of the plastic in the trash. i know it is a kind of bad thought process but in most cases people do not want to recycle if it is going to cost them more.
it is like biodiesel. Until diesel goes up to a higher price it remains cheaper to purchase than biodiesel
