Environmental Impact

As early as 40 years ago, environmentalists started to become aware of a looming plastic waste problem – on a global scale – and data generated over the past decade has proven that this foresight was prescient.

Over the course of the ensuing years, the challenge has been to create a truly green solution for transforming waste plastic into something useable. There is a general understanding that the present recycling and diversion practices are inadequate at best and at worst, extremely harmful to the global environment.

In the mid-1990s JBI, Inc. founder and CEO, John Bordynuik, began to think that there might be a solution which would ensure:

The amount of plastic that could be recycled would increase;
The amount of waste plastic sent to landfills or diverted for the purpose of being burned would be reduced significantly;
Use of a process that would be environmentally sound, with extremely low stack emissions and low energy resources (electrical, water, natural gas) required to operate, and
Outputs of the process would be clean (i.e. ultra-clean, ultra-low sulphur fuel) and not require further refining.

The innovative thinking at JBI, Inc. has created just such a solution.
