09/27/2010 1 COMPLAINT against JBI, Inc. and John Bordynuik with Jury Demand (Filing fee $350 receipt number T57306) filed by Michael Kaplanis. (Attachments: # 1 Civil Cover Sheet)(LDB) (Entered: 09/30/2010) Doc 1 PDF file http://viewer.zoho.com/docs/mc5fG
John Bordynuik: (regarding plastic availability) "I don't quite understand your question (what would it take?). Either stream is very easy to capture because all of the sites we have spoken to (yes, including Waste Management) pays $38 to $70/ton tip fee to get rid of their plastic. They all attempt to recycle PET plastic when the commodity price is high. There is money in collecting and recycling PET plastic.. that's it. If it contaminated then they get nothing or much less. All other plastic is sent to landfill (with the exception of HDPE sometimes). I want all the plastic they pay to dispose of. The industrial waste stream is low hanging fruit because companies are always looking to save money and by reducing their tip fees. Industrial sources do offer a better plastic because it doesn't smell so bad (might sound funny but we have much plastic with food waste we've tested and rotten milk in powdered form smells awful). We are running unwashed mixed plastic anyway and industrial waste results in slightly less residue because I don't have rotten baked food left in the reactor."
