"I partially agree with you. However if a processor is capital intensive to PTOI, then PTOI will still have to sell the processor to a customer for at least what the processor cost to produce, which would make the processor just as capital intensive to a customer."


At least we agree on something...partially. For PTO to raise the necessary capital to build many plants would be difficult and the underlying cost would be prohibitive. But, lets say that a Municipality or city, e.g.. New York, wants to recycle its plastic waste. The benefit is not a simple what goes in verses what comes out of the process. There are secondary and tertiary benefits that are realized that if PTO would build the plant they would not necessarily benefit from thus skewing the return realized.
