No cost? LOL! They should be charging these areas for cleaning up the plastic waste.

A million tons per year is a great volume. Assuming you work 250 days per year (five days per week less stat holidays), this comes to 4000 tons per day. This is one incredibly large facility. Even if you can spread the work out onto the weekend and not offend the religious and political leadership, you are still over 3000 tons per day. For a pyrolysis plant, this is massive.

The capital cost of such an operation is mind boggling. It begs the question can the funds be raised? It can be done for an established business with cash flow. It is much harder for a start up.

From an in plant handling perspective, 4000 tons per day works out to 200 truck loads being received likely during daylight hours. The poor weigh scale operators. If this is done at one site but many modules, it is still a challenge to move material.
