The American Chemistry Council seems to find JBII's claims to be quite reasonable. JBII was positively mentioned multiple times in this 58 pages paper they prepared as well as referenced throughout it. As a reference example, read what they said about New York.

Lots of good readin' in there for the more savvy investor.

"Once the valuable plastics have been separated from the
co-mingled mix of materials, MRFs are left with piles of plastics that are not suitable for recovery. Some
of these plastics are films that are too contaminated for recovery at retail outlets. While these items
cannot be mechanically recycled, they are the perfect feedstock materials for PTF systems." <~~~~what happened to selling it for $650/ton? ROFL!!!

"Many paper recycling mills receive sizable volumes of mixed, contaminated plastics in the bales
they purchase. The level of contamination that occurs during the paper pulping process leaves the
plastics covered in ink. However, because most modern pyrolysis systems can tolerate a wide range of
contaminants, these plastics make an ideal feedstock for fuel recovery. Since 2008, the Plastic Advanced
Recycling Corp. has had two systems in place at paper mills and the company claims the systems have
been a success. The mills avoid landfill fees, and the mixed-plastic product is a valuable resource. The
company hopes to replicate this success in the U.S. in the next two years." <~~~~but but but but why not just sell the ink-covered plastic for $650/ton? ROFL!!!!!
