1) Crayola says they make 465,000,000 markers per year.
http://www.crayola.com/faq/your-business/how-many-crayola-products-do-you-make-per-year/

2) Weight of a new Crayola marker filled with water/glycerine dye and its cotton filament: 1.0 gram


By 1) and 2), 465,000,000 markers weigh approximately 1,000,000 lbs.


Hence even if JBI received every single marker made by Crayola in a year, and even not accounting for half the weight being water-based dye and other materials.... That's all she be.

JBI claimed they've made about 500K gallons from about 3,000,000lbs plastic: http://www.plastic2oil.com/site/news-releases-master/page/2

Hence they could turn 1,000,000lbs into 167K gallons each year, or 4000 bbls, if they get every single Crayola marker made, and we pretend that each marker provides a full 1.0 gram of convertible plastic.


Now suppose JBI actually receives 20% of all Crayola markers sold globally each year (wildly optimistic), and that each marker provides 0.5 grams of convertible plastic.

That would be about 400 bbls per year.


In reality, it would be astonishing if JBI managed to get their hands on even 0.1% of all Crayola markers produced each year (4 bbls of fuel).
