I don't believe the smaller machines are in use. There was an itty bitty prototype, counter top, and the one retrofitted from China that Islechem did their first analysis from. The DEC agreement, did not mention these for use, they are non issues. Currently one 20 ton machine is in operation and permission has been given to finish building a 30 ton machine. We know JBI have the parts for a third machine (another 30 ton machine). We speculated it would be built and used in Thorold Ontario. We now have a report that a DEC rep has indicated the third machine can be used at the Niagara Falls, New York facility, so three machines in one building. Have to wait for it to be official.

I believe the original prototype could be used for several things:

Keep if for a museum (I bet that made you roll your eyes)

Modern Art in front of the factory

However, I think the best use, and the greenest, would be to retrofit it so it could be used as a urinal in the men's bathroom at the factory (also a good place to keep spare gas compressors as well). But to use it as one of the three P2O machines, not an option as far as commercial use.

The Company currently owns five P2O processing machines including the original desk-top unit, a 1-ton unit which will continue to be used for research and development purposes as needed, a 20T processor located at the Company’s Niagara Falls location, as well as component parts that have been procured to assemble two additional production size processors. The Company believes that these machines are capable of converting waste plastic to oil through a process using a chemical catalyst. The currently operating machine is a 20 metric-ton processor intended for commercial use. The Company intends to assemble more of these machines, which it will own and manage itself, or license to commercial operators in the United States, Canada and elsewhere.
