I don't know if it applies.

Jbi's strategy is based on addressing the large scale problem with a relatively small appliance located at industrial and other sites that concentrate large quantities of plastics.

I personally like the idea of anything that facilites the self reliance implied by the old meaning of economy--Home Management.


Small Is Beautiful: Economics As If People Mattered is a collection of essays by British economist E. F. Schumacher. The phrase "Small Is Beautiful" came from a phrase by his teacher Leopold Kohr.[1] It is often used to champion small, appropriate technologies that are believed to empower people more, in contrast with phrases such as "bigger is better".

First published in 1973, Small Is Beautiful brought Schumacher's critiques of Western economics to a wider audience during the 1973 energy crisis and emergence of globalization. The Times Literary Supplement ranked Small Is Beautiful among the 100 most influential books published since World War II.[2] A further edition with commentaries was published in 1999.[3]

WILL NEVER happen via any JBII affiliation!

First, JBII will never let its process be miniaturized & disseminated by the 100s (revelaing the technology to 100s).

Second, JBII will never provide catalyst for such a thing... for the same reasons!

This discussion is as much FANTASY as is the talk of a JBII BUYOUT...

NOT HAPPENING anytime before JB loses interest in running JBII & growing it!

Not grounded in reality!
