When it comes to plastic, you get what you pay for.

If you want contaminated mixed plastic that will foul up your machines and break the set emission standards, sure you can get truckloads at $500 a ton.

If you want good, sorted plastic you will pay $750 a ton.


If it takes 9 lbs to make a gallon

and you get 7 brls/ton

IT WILL COST $107/brl IN PLASTIC!


now add your $10 overhead cost (more like $50mill)

and you are selling $100/brl fuel for a $17 loss!!!


This math is not double dipping, or accounting for ANY other issues previously pointed out
Just an added point to all of the other problems....

Good plastic is not FREE

FREE plastic is not good!
