In fact, there is nothing in any of the actual permits that restricts JBI as regards the plactic it uses.
Page 2 of the air permit:
Procured feedstock shall be source separated non-recyclable polyolefins and polyethylenes. Prior to acceptance for processing, all feed stocks will be qualified and inspected by plant staff.
Page 8:
JBI will carefully review potential sources of non-recyclable grade plastic for use as a raw material feedstock. This material will be acquired from the industrial market place. Plastic types which have been determined to be acceptable for utilization as feedstock include: Polypropylene (PP), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). No Halogenated plastics such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) will be accepted by JBI.
All sources of plastic feed will be prequalified by JBI personnel before agreeing to accept the material. This prequalification procedure will consist of visual inspection by JBI personnel, review of the MSDS for the material where available, and possible test results from material samples when testing is deemed necessary. Typical plastic materials which can be utilized as feedstocks include plastic parts and cuttings, packaging film, shopping bag film, strapping and mixed color regrind. These materials are typically produced by vacuum forming, injection molding, casting, or tooling.
The chemical composition of all plastic materials must be compatible with the capabilities of the JBI process. It must not be contaminated with materials which could result in detrimental impacts during processing.
All plastic must be shipped in enclosed weather tight box vans.
Upon receipt a log sheet will be utilized to retain information as follows: Source of plastic Name of transporter Date and Time of receipt at JBI site Amount of plastic in each shipment (Weight or Cubic Yards)
Since this information is considered proprietary business information by JBI, an annual report containing the information listed in the preceding paragraph will be generated and maintained on site at the facility for review by the Department upon request.
Upon arrival, plastic will be inspected to insure that it conforms with the facility's pre-approval documentation generated during the material's acceptability evaluation. If non-conformance is noted, the material will be rejected and either shipped back to the supplier or characterized and disposed of in compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Plastic material which is accepted will be unloaded directly into one of the existing or future storage buildings. These warehouses are enclosed and the stored plastic will not be exposed to the elements. Smaller loads may be unloaded directly into the main production building.
