Yes, the 'type' of plastic will work in the JBI machines.

There are major potential problems however. Packaging tape, adhesives and strapping can all be made of or contain chemicals or compounds that will create chemical reactions that will cause problems.

Copper staples are another serious issue. (although not as common as they use to be since the price of copper has been so high)

Certain types of inks, labels and label adhesive can also be dangerous.

The problem here is that the JBI machines are the bottom of the barrel design. Even the new Chinese units have stainless steel and glass lined components that can handle harsh acids and they have components and scrubbers that separate these compounds out of the hydrocarbon vapor stream. It is a completely different patented process than JBIs approach.
