Re: PaperProphet #38055
Interesting comments.
"One point 801 missed is that recycling plastic is currently profitable...pyrolysis of plastic isn't. Somehow these significant quantities of plastic which can't be recycled, yet which are somehow still good enough to pyrolyze into clean, salable diesel, never materialized and PTOI's insiders have always been tight-lipped about that issue. "
Excess waste is a problem in many places, and for most products. Even aluminum ends up in landfills for no good reason except that maybe it is victim of its own success at recycling it. I recall a time when paper recycling was on every street corner (almost).
