That is quite incorrect.

literally 'utter' nonsense. who said it was limited to dairy farmers?

Do you have any numbers to support that statement?

12 millions tons of AG plastic is used in the US every year according to the EPA. That's a lot of feed stock.

3 processors require about 40,000 tons a year. That works out to be 1/3rd of 1% of the Ag plastic waste produced in the US every year.

better than nothing though eh? I didn't expect JBI to get 100% of their feedstock from 1 source It's difficult for any industry/company/business to provide 12,000 lbs. of plastic an hour (enough for 3 processors). It might be the beginning of all farmers from all states to start doing the same thing. Think of all the plastic wrapped tunnel houses out there,

If they got ALL of the Ag plastic from ALL of the dairy farms in ALL of NY state, it might amount to about 3% of their plastic feed stock needs for their Niagara Falls plant.
