You seem to have missed the point of JBI's machine.

It does not require sorted plastic. It is prohibited from using plastic that contains chlorine i.e. PVC.

Exclusion does not require sorting. Also you seem to have missed the part about JBI obtaining its waste plastic from industrial sources where the types of plastic sourced are well controlled.

Then there is the part about 93% of all plastic goes into land fills. The 7% that you discuss as having significant value is not the plastic that JBI wants or uses.

True that not using sorted recyclable plastic limits JBI to the 93% of plastic that is land filled, but sometimes you just have to make do with what you can get. To be fair, JBI doesn't use post consumer plastic so that eliminates about 45% of the plastic waste stream. So JBI has to find its plastic in the millions of tons of waste plastic that is represented by that 45%.


Success is the best revenge.
