Lots of good numbers in that report.

One chart shows the percentage of Materials Recovery Facilities each state has of the nation's total.  Top number is California with 13%.  Next up, New York with 10%.  Good state to be starting in.


Another chart has New York number 1 in importance.  It is a chart showing each state's percentage of plastic in their MSW landfills.  New York was number 1 with 17%.


I came across this paragraph on p. 23. Apparently JBI was known to Dr. Castaldi already.




5.3 Transforming of NRP to oil by means of pyrolysis


Non-recycled plastics can be source-separated and converted to a crude oil or other types of fuel oil by a thermal treating technique called pyrolysis. Several companies are developing various processes that can pyrolyze NRP into synthetic oils (e.g. Envion, Climax Global Energy, Agilyx, JBI ). A conservative estimate is that these processes, when fully industrialized, can convert one ton of NRP to 3 barrels of oil. Hypothetically, the 29 million tons of NRP in the MSW stream that are now landfilled could be converted to 87 million barrels of oil. This corresponds to 3.6 billion gallons, which would be enough fuel to power six million cars for one year. Figure 11 shows the potential of converting the non-recycled plastics to synthetic oil, for each State.


The economic value of 87 million barrels of synthetic oil, at current oil prices, would be 8.7 billion dollars.





Yeah, I'll take a piece of that.
