You would be correct if the input is coming from the municipal waste stream; however my understanding is that a lot of their input is coming from rivers, lakes and the sea, if this is the case then it would contain very little metal and glass since they would sink.

I listened to Dan’s interview on CEO BLOC and am more confused than ever. Dan stated that they are not interested in recycling PET (1) or HDPE (2). Well, somewhere around 75% of municipal plastic waste is PET or HDPE. (industrial plastic waste is a whole different animal). I have no idea how you would separate these 2 resins from all the other resins or why you would even want to do this if you don’t want to process the HDPE and PET.

Dan stated that there are only 7 types of plastics in the post consumer waste stream which is just not true. There are 7 numbers used by the Resin Identification Code system. The first 6 identify a specific plastic and the number 7 is a catchall for all other plastics and packages made from multiple plastics. Hell, even within a specific resin there are various grades so I would guess that there are at least 70 types of plastics used in packaging.

Dan is just too flippant in many of his comments. He needs to be more precise.. This is a very technical business.

Also, he gave us no hard data as to what is going on in Morocco or anywhere else.
