The same issue holds true for RockTenn, if the plastic could be used by a JBI machine it could be sold as recycled plastic for more money than the value of the fuel.

The cost to get the plastic out of that waste stream and make it useable for the recycle market is obviously more that the value of that plastic or RockTenn (well skilled at recycling) would have done it already.

JBI has already burned 2 years on the 10 year contract and no great hurry has been put on this by either side... On the inside i'm sure everyone knows what's up... perhaps this goes forward as an experiment that RockTenn could possibly gain from, but JBI isn't going to make it happen without a lot of upfront and daily expense. Maybe it can be a good exercise for all involved, but at who's expense?
