Re:<"It was mixed HYDROCARBON ONLY plastic. Mixed is what JBII does. DUH! Most plastic goes to landfill because it's mixed, contaiminated, dyed, has additives, etc. You still don't get it.">

No Rawnoc, ABS is not hydrocarbon-only plastic.

So far you haven't found a single instance of getting hydrocarbon-only plastic for less than $500/ton--and you've been trying and somehow claimed victory. Except for the 80,000 lbs of PP foam for $0.07/lb you found. That PP foam may only cost $5,600 but it would literally take twelve to fifteen semi trucks to haul that foam across the country. The logistics undoubtedly are why it's that cheap.

If you keep saying you're right and that $500/ton is a ridiculous value, maybe somebody will believe you. I doubt those references to IHub posts of people saying they are willing to pay JBII to take their hydrocarbon-only plastic carries much weight.

Re:<"Your $500/ton insistence is laughable and just flat out dead wrong all day long and eventually you'll come to grips with it just like you finally did about there actually being a market for diesel fuel.">

Since I never thought there wasn't a market for diesel, I'm going to have to assume you misread one of my posts. I may have said the market for "near diesel" was questionable.
