In a world where we use too much plastic having a HERU in your home could be the ultimate way to recycle. The Home Energy Resources Unit (HERU) was invented by Nik Spencer and is basically an incinerator about the size of a washing machine. It can recycle everything but glass and metal. The HERU produces 2.5X as much energy as it consumes. I am hopeful to see a small home recycling unit like the HERU become affordable and adopted for widespread use in the next decade. It seems like a better solution than this Japanese machine that turns Plastic Into Oil.
