(1) "I have talked to industrial places that PAY to get rid of their waste plastic. Actual places that PAY, not internet searches. I have talked to places that buy waste plastic and its a small percentage of whats out there. They pay higher prices because there is so few of it out there that they can use. There are industrial plastics they don't buy because they can't use them - lots of them." http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=54357508
(2) $10 to $100 per ton to dump waste plastic. Cities could save as much as $200 per ton giving it for free to JBII:
(5) $50 a ton example cost to dump plastic by a recycler who 40,000 to 80,000 lbs per month to the landfill. (JBII will take it off their hands for free). This is a single location:
Discarded? How much do they PAY to discard? $25, $50, $100 a ton tip fee?
(7) From a New York City website...
These move past a series of laser beams that identify any item made of #1 PET or #2 HDPE and blow it off the main conveyor onto a second conveyor. At this stage, workers manually pull out #1 and #2 bottles and jugs. What is left over at the end of the conveyor belt journey (#3-7 bottles, #1-7 tubs and trays, as well as non-numbered plastic containers) is disposed of as residue.
Disposed of = paid to get rid of = avaiable for free to anybody who wants it.

Listen guys, Get off the subject of feed stock for once and for all!
I have contracts for waste plastic,from hard plastic to dirty film, to be deliverd to my yard, I GET PAID between $80 and delivered free. The better the plastic the worse the price I get paid, if I agree to take the better material for free I can call the period of the contract which is between 3 to 5 years. I would be more concerened with JBI's roll out timescale.
(9) "Do we must have to pay for plastic? No we don't. I have a contract for mixed plastics, free, for ten years and that is no big deal because I don't have any difficulty acquiring plastic. We are happy to receive dirty plastic (ie: mixed, composites, etc..)"
"80% of all plastic goes to landfill and that is the plastic we are acquiring -- NO ONE buys it now and it is expensive to discard. I don't want the other 0-20% of high quality, highly sorted, super clean plastic that some (few) pay for. The Chinese control that market and it is very cyclical."
Why don't you wait and see what the company PR's regarding the feedstock type and and availability of the feedstock instead of this continual "I know this" or "they are probably". The fact is its pure speculation on your part. John has said in the past what type of feedstock he will use and I am quite confident that once a permit is obtained we will be given clearer guidance on some of these issues. In the meantime sit back and relax.
