Of course clean plastic is free and of course it doesn't have to be clean.

Win X 2 for JBII.

John was talking at the AGM I believe about how some of the post-consumer plastic smelled really nasty, especially from powered milk and how the food collected in the reactor and had to be cleaned out (as residue) later.

If you think dried milk caked-on food plastic is "clean" -- you can eat off of it. I'll pass. lol

You have a flaw in your logic.

Until, JBI can prove PUBLICALLY that they can use any chemical in their machine, they have nothing. What good is dirty unwashed unshredded plastic unless the DEC gives them an open ended permit that allows any chemical to go into the machine? As we all know unless you wash the plastic first you have no idea what you are putting in the machine. This is the problem with recycling also and is why much dirty plastic ends up in landfills.

You assume that industry produced plastic is either recycled or is unwashed, dirty mixed plastic.

There are gradations of material in between that you don't consider.

It is that material between the two extremes that you talk about that will be used by the initial JBI processor.
