Recycling plastic doesn't make sense, it's just the environmentalists movements way of controlling the population at greater frequency through daily routines.
But lets say it could work, you certainly don't care about recycling a greater % of plastic, there heaps more around. The only reason you might, would be to make the process simpler. So you could just dump all plastic in and not worry about contamination.
What you want is cheaper recycling <--> less energy intensive to get back to the end product.
So you'd have to analyse their Life Cycle statement to see if it's legit. There's lots of tricks they could use here.
Supercritical water sounds energy intensive, but simpler than multiple machines for different plastics.
But I have no idea if supercritical water is already common or not. The process might just be Malibu Stacy with a new hat. You'd need an expert who doesn't believe their own crap.
