We can discuss automatic sorting vs. manual or any

And again, this would have been a discussion for when Mr. Bordynuik introduced his claims of $10/bbl crude oil/diesel. What we can see now is that JBI can't get the plastic they need at a price that makes it profitable despite all the 'improvements' otherwise those processors would be cranking out fuel.
As you noted, there's a difference due to the cost of transporting feedstock. I believe rates for shipping a ton of anything from the east coast to the west coast is around $25/ton...that gets lost in the roughly $600-$700 value of a ton of crude oil or equivalent. Other than that, there's no real difference between operating at JBI or operating at a customer facility.
