I agree with the sentiment of the article: Inter-state and global companies making cost-saving moves to plastic benefiting big plastic producers and passing the pollution blame to consumers / local governments is a move we've seen far too often. > The trouble, it said, was that Boise’s waste was contaminated with other garbage at 10 times the level it was told to expect. > Boise spokesperson Colin Hickman said the city was not aware of any statements or assurances made to Renewlogy about specific levels of contamination. Classic. There's definitely contamination level agreements for recycling companies, which Renewlogy probably got, yet Hickman said he never made statements or assurances to Renewlogy. (Which is probably true -- they were communicated to the recycling pickup companies!). And hang on: > It’s being trucked to a cement plant northeast of Salt Lake City that burns it for fuel. That's ... a win? > Most of those endeavors are agreements between small advanced recycling firms and big oil and chemicals companies or consumer brands, including ExxonMobil Corp, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Procter & Gamble Co (P&G). All are still operating on a modest scale or have closed down, and more than half are years behind schedule on previously announced commercial plans, according to the Reuters review. Sounds like the ``perpetrators'' are funding possible solutions instead of shutting down entirely. Demonizing this is not going to help, you know.
