36 MRFs at the rate of 'Sims MRF' = thousands of tons of waste plastic a day
i'm going to go with RKT's opinion about their own operations. being one of the biggest recyclers in the world, there is no doubt, just like many many many other MRFs, they are left with massive loads of unrecycleable plastic that gets landfilled.
of course this is now an entirely different topic. the faulty premise was that somehow the email and the PR were contradictory. that premise was wrong. the pr spoke of multiple sources of waste plastic while the email only spoke of one.
as an example---"Sims material recovery facility" or Sims MRF generates 60 tons of waste plastic a day. that is just one small mom and pop MRF. RKT is of course a behemoth.
Seems they move the waste plastic from their recycling operation right back out the door for cash.
doubtful. Sims MRF has 60 tons a day that they landfill. they don't 'right back out the door for cash' or any such nonsense. RKT MRFs, 36 of them, at the Sims rate would be 2,160 tons per day or 'thousands of tons per day'
