Sorting plastic for recycling is both an art and a science.
The initial issue here is why?
Why would plastic be mixed and in large quantity?
The easy answer is that the cost to separate it is prohibitive in relation to its value.
The second answer is that is was a mistake.
We run across accidentally mixed regrind all of the time, sometimes its a spill, or a operator error... other times its just laziness.
The problem here is that these are small quantities.
When plastic is processed for recycling care is taken to separate it into maximum value outputs.
In the case of jbi, sure, there may be opportunities to come across junk in small quantities... but the shipping cost offsets the value.
In the case of any large quantity of mixed plastic such as those jbi needs, there is undoubtedly a recycler willing to invest in a sorting process that makes it worth while at even the minimum value... which is MORE than the value of the fuel jbi can make.
This all goes back to THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM and the SEARCH FOR THE UNICORN as I have explained at great length.
This is why they have become so desperate as to have to tap into the massive supply of bad crayons in the world.
