Whoops! You're right, obviously. I get mixed up between the kinds of plastic that they can't use. This is what I was thinking about: "No Halogenated plastics such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) will be accepted by JBI." This is what I THOUGHT prohibited the pictured PETE bottles from being processed: "This material will be acquired from the industrial marketplace." What I'm still not 100% certain of is whether source separated household recyclables, which is what those bottles appear to be, can be "acquired from the industrial marketplace", thereby meeting the criteria for processing. The material itself isn't one of those specifically included by the permit. ("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).) I wouldn't think that those bottles could be acquired for free, given the cost of sorting....and I believe that they don't qualify as "destined for landfill", given their potential uses.........but what do I know. What is your understanding?
