Fiction from the same board that incorrectly forecasted millions in disgorgement:

"How much will the feedstock at a RockTenn site cost? Probably not very much...but again, if it was just PP, HDPE and LDPE, Rocktenn would be smart enough to recycle it."

Reality:

"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."
