Hypothetically let's say it does produce value and let me use easy fake numbers and say right now it costs a customer $100/ton to dispose of the plastic, but the process can turn that waste into something worth $100/ton. The customer is now $200/ton ahead.
Alternatively in this scenario, they could pay JBI to take it for $100/ton and JBI could turn that into the exact same fuel worth $100/ton. Now JBI makes that $200/ton.
That means the process creates $200/ton of value. Now it would be up to JBI whether they want to retain that or sell that $200/ton cash flow.
There is virtually no advantage to whether the customer owns the processor, whether JBI owns the processor, whether it's a joint venture or whether it's some other scenario. If the processor is running, it either creates a certain quantity of value regardless of location and ownership, or it doesn't create any value and it's worthless to everyone.
