Global Plastic Production Could Triple by 2050. EU
According to the EU plastics could increase triple-fold by 2050.
Problems like these are why JBI will Succeed. There is a global need for JBI's success and the sooner the better! IMO
Trends observed in the EU are likely to be stronger in fast-growing economies like India,
China, Brazil and Indonesia, but also in developing countries. The world's population is
forecast to grow by 790 million every decade and may reach over 9 billion by 2050 with a new middle class of around 2 billion14. This is likely to increase demand for plastic and the amount of plastic waste worldwide.

Kudumbasree workers caught in plastic conundrum. JBI Could Help
Another great opportunity for JBI to solve a plastic waste problem. IMO
For Kudumbasree sanitation workers in the city, plastic waste has always been a problem of sorts, right from whether it should be collected along with other waste to what should be done once it is collected. The opening of a plastic-waste-processing unit at West Hill by the city Corporation in March this year was expected to put to rest these issues, but questions still remain.
The Kudumbasree workers used to collect plastic waste till about two years ago. They were instructed to stop it when the civic body started thinking of waste segregation. This continued until the opening of the plastic processing plant four months ago. But within a month, problems began to crop up as the workers were expected to deliver ‘clean’ plastic waste.

Hong Kong is in desperate need of JBI.
What an incredible opportunity to help Hong Kong with their ever growing plastic problems. This is why JBI will succeed because there is such an overwhelming need for what they have to offer!! IMO.
Go JBI!!!
In Hong Kong, we have reached crisis point. We produce 1,700 tonnes of plastic waste every day yet we don't have the infrastructure to deal with it. Instead, we ship it across the border to recycling plants on the mainland.
We consume plastic like it's an infinite resource but it's not. Our everyday lives are covered in plastic - our foods, drinks, medicine, cars, clothes, furniture; the list is long, and growing. We've lost respect for plastic, a human engineering marvel that has become a huge problem.

Heddle and Co. Saves JBI 2.1 Million! Brilliant Move!
Quote recycling
I like the new management as they are significant shareholders and have experience growing a company. The news today turned me into an investor. I have decided to make an investment in JBI.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 08/26/13 -- JBI, Inc. (the "Company" or "JBI") (OTCQB:JBII), a clean energy company that recycles waste plastic into liquid fuels, today announced continued actions to help significantly reduce costs as part of its ongoing goal to achieve cash flow positive results.
The Company plans to close operations at its recycling facility in Thorold, Ontario over the next several weeks, at which point all eight employees at the facility will be laid off. The Company's new executive team has decided to forego having a two stage plastic delivery process in favor of dealing with processor-ready plastics delivered directly to its fuel processing site in Niagara Falls, NY.
Based on operational data from the first six months of 2013, the Company estimates total annualized cost savings as a result of these measures to be approximately $800,000. In July, the Company announced additional cost reduction measures that it anticipated would result in annualized cost savings of approximately $1.3 million.
"Aggressively managing costs is a key component in positioning a company to eventually become cash flow positive. In keeping with the encouraging production data we've had to start the third quarter, these cuts were an important strategic move for us. We continue with the vision of procuring non-recycled streams of plastic that we can divert from landfill," stated JBI's Chief Executive Officer Richard Heddle.
JBI's Chief Financial Officer Nicholas Terranova stated, "We feel there is a great opportunity to reduce the cost of our fuel production, as a large portion of these costs have been associated with handling and preparing the plastic before it enters our processors in Niagara Falls. These measures are being taken to address these specific costs directly. Based on reviews of our cost of goods sold, we have realized that acquiring non-recycled, processor-ready plastic is the easiest way to continue having adequate feedstock at a desirable cost while streamlining our supply chain."
"A recent procurement partnership with a company that has been able to provide us with great plastic that is processor-ready makes us believe there is ample supply to be delivered directly to our site. Consistent delivery and consistent on-site fuel production make it simple and effective for us to manage procurement in this fashion, while making sure that we abide by all necessary guidelines in our permitting," stated company founder and Chief of Technology John Bordynuik.

JBI, Inc. Receives $1 Million From Debt Financing and Provides Processor No. Three Operations Update
Posted Aug 30th, 2013 in 2013 News Releases
Niagara Falls, New York, August 30, 2013 - JBI, Inc. (the “Company” or “JBI”) (OTCQB: JBII), a clean energy company that recycles waste plastic into liquid fuels, announced today the receipt of $1 million in proceeds from the sale of a secured promissory note and a successful first cycling of its flagship third processor leading to its continued operation.
On August 29th, the Company sold to Mr. Richard Heddle, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and a director, a $1 million 12% secured promissory note, together with a five-year warrant to purchase up to one million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.54 per share. Gross proceeds to the company were $1 million. The Company had previously reported the entry into a term sheet agreement with Mr. Heddle concerning the note financing. Further details regarding the financing can be found in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“This financing is a crucial bridge for our Company, as we continue to move forward with our new executive team and implement strategies for cost reduction, while also focusing on building fuel production momentum,” stated Chief Financial Officer Nicholas Terranova.
As previously planned, the Company cooled and cycled processor number three, it’s recently commissioned Plastic2Oil® processor, for approximately six days to inspect the machine internally, perform routine safety checks, and make minor adjustments to the machine’s flue gas piping. Processor number three’s initial production run lasted a total of 30 days, until the machine was cooled down intentionally.
“The speed in which we were able to cycle processor number three was very encouraging. We believe the technology behind our third processor is absolutely world-class. With our previously disclosed spending cuts and production momentum, we continue to progress with an eye on moving this company closer to a cash flow positive state,” stated Richard Heddle, JBI’s Chief Executive Officer.
JBI Chief of Technology, John Bordynuik stated, “Processor number three, as expected, had very mild amounts of coking throughout the pre-melt and the residue removal system has been operating as we had hoped. The resultant mild coking in the pre-melt was expected, due to our flue gas piping needing to be slightly adjusted. The reactor and residue kilns were both in excellent condition during our visual inspection. In addition, the adjustments that were made to the machine’s flue gas piping have helped the machine achieve ideal heat profiling, which is precisely what we were striving for during this period of downtime. Our next step for processor number three is to work on maximizing feed rates.”
