I don't know if I could find the original white paper, but I do have a copy of it saved in my work files. Japan has had a zero landfill process for converting waste plastic to anhydrous ammonia and similar products since 2002 but the project was halted after the US fracking boom crashed natural prices and made this process financially unviable. I see from a recent google search that Japan is starting to revive that project.

Wrapping Version 1.0"
