Well again, Steady_on, you trust Mr. Bordynuik completely so if he says he gets the types of plastic he needs for free, you believe him without question. You posted a quote which Mr. Bordynuik himself wrote as evidence that he isn't lying--do you see the somewhat circular argument you are making?

I, on the other hand, see that Mr. Bordynuik has very directly lied and misled investors a number of times and I believe that lying is just the tip of the iceberg. Then when Mr. Bordynuik says he can get hydrocarbon-only scrap plastic for free when everyone else in the world has to pay dearly for that same scrap plastic, I tend to believe that's just more BS from Mr. Bordynuik.

It might help to use aluminum as an analogy. People occasionally just throw aluminum away in various forms so it's then 'waste'. Aluminum scrap is about three times the market price of sorted scrap plastic so we're getting into the range where it's actually economical to sort it out of the waste stream. Now if someone came along and said they have a process which can turn scrap aluminum into bauxite for less than $10/ton which then could be sold on the markets for about $30/ton and they say they found a way to get all of the waste aluminum for free, would you automatically believe it or would you at least be skeptical? What if it was Mr. Bordynuik shifting business plans again and if he said he was the one who found a new secret catalyst which allowed him to economically turn waste aluminum into bauxite--then would you believe it because you trust Mr. Bordynuik or would it still be reasonable to be at least a little skeptical?
