Single-use plastics are converted into FUEL for jets and diesel engines by breaking the material down with household product
It uses materials found in water softener and antacid to break down plastic
It can be done in a few hours at a temperature of about 480 degrees Fahrenheit
Researchers say the process works on different plastics at once, and they don't have to be sorted
The resulting molecules can be used for jet fuel, diesel and lubricant
