Greetings, permies!

I have been in constant wonder for an alternative as to how we can be able to manage plastic waste in our area. We are living off grid in an island in Cambodia. During monsoon, every storm brings about heaps of plastic from the sea and we are left with it on shore for disposal. As the locals do, burning all sorts of waste is the way to go as there is no way for garbage to be collected and put in a landfill in the mainland.

This thread started a while ago and reading it now, I wanted to ask if anyone has actually tried to use the J rocket design for the sole purpose of burning waste materials, mostly plastic, driftwood, etc. Our household has a small footprint as the resort is closed due to the pandemic. However, we are a small community living by the beach and we always do our part in maintenance and cleanliness. We know the harmful effects of openly burning garbage on the beach. Another question I have in mind is if there is any option to close the loop of having created energy through burning and where it may be directed if fuel used is mainly plastic.

Any insight would be helpful. Thank you.
