Please let's try to raise the quality of skeptic's DD, shall we?

There is a concept called LCA (life cycle analysis) which can be useful to calculate the true cost of your operations in terms of CO2 or energy, but you need to know where to define the boundaries of your own system and where those of your suppliers / partners are. If the P2O process were required to account for the energy used to collect the plastic, then the companies/cities who did that for them would be able to claim they run their entire operation without any energy. Does that seems possible to you?

When you eat a hamburger, do you count the calories that the cow ingested during its lifetime?
