Green Machine Cleans Up the Planet

PowerMaster announced that its patented ReCyclone(TM) technology can recycle all garbage, making nearly 100 percent of the world's waste useful in some way. The green company, which is committed to cleaning up the planet, has developed a unique, infinitely adjustable, waste reducing grinder designed to recycle all types of trash of all sizes.

    "The amount of garbage the world is generating on a daily basis is
a huge problem, but it doesn't have to be," said Paul Dole, Director
of Special Projects with PowerMaster. "With a combination of waste to
energy, plastic to diesel, and a composting plant, you can get rid of
nearly all of it, and that's exactly what our ReCyclone is designed to
do. With the ReCyclone, you can turn virtually all trash into
something reuseable."

    The ReCyclone grinds up inorganic waste to be recycled or burned
for electricity; turns agricultural waste into compost, organic
fertilizer, and daily cover; and remediates landfills by vastly
reducing their size, eliminating odors and greenhouse gases, and
subsequently cleaning up groundwater. The ReCyclone can be used to
grind up all different types of waste into pieces ranging from 20
microns to 12 inches, and any size in between. Adjustments can be done
yourself in only a few minutes using simple tools.

    In addition, PowerMaster's newest process, dubbed "dirty green,"
can take dirty plastic and convert it into diesel oil. One kilogram of
plastic will yield 95 percent of one liter of diesel. Up until now,
plastics had to go through an expensive and lengthy cleaning process
before they could used for oil. Because the process doesn't require
the plastic to be cleaned, the process of turning plastic into low
sulfur, high quality, diesel oil is now economically feasible.

    The ReCyclone also can take the vast amount of electronic devices,
which people are constantly replacing as they become obsolete, and
turn them into a powder form, assisting in the separation of gold,
platinum, and other metals used in computer boards and chips. The
ReCyclone can get more gold out of electronic devices than from a gold
mine, and it also does so using an eco-friendly process. One metric
ton of circuit boards can contain between 80 and 1,500 grams of gold,
which is 40 to 800 times the concentration of gold contained in gold
ore mined in the U.S. Metals mining produces more toxic pollution than
any other industry in the U.S., and producing a single ounce of gold
generates an average of 60 tons on mine waste.

    "Not only is the ReCyclone great for reducing industrial waste, it
can eliminate the tons of household waste being generated every day,"
said Lila York. "If you look at your typical bag of household garbage,
you'll find that it's mostly organics like paper, banana peels, and
other food waste, plus some inorganic materials like hard and soft
plastics, metal, wood, and glass. If you run that through our
ReCyclone, you can turn the organic materials into dirt, grind the
plastics up to be used for diesel fuel, and convert the metals, wood,
and glass into a form that can be used for electricity."
