Demonstrating the plastic recycling capability of all plastics - including agricultural waste plastics, plastic waste and showing true plastics repurposing into new useable products.

4. With recycling based
on sorting by grade,
America is drowning
in plastic waste.
• US consumers generate
32 million+ tons of
plastic waste annually
(12-14% of MSW).
• Less than 9% of
consumer waste plastic is
recycled (only
2.8 million tons in 2012).
• Many more millions of
tons of plastic are used in
agricultural, automotive
and other commercial
activities. Less than 3%
of this material is
recycled.
JRA can recycle virtually every grade and type of plastic
from any source regardless of contamination - almost 100% of all plastic waste.

5. Where is the money in
municipal solid waste?
PLASTICS
But what is the
incentive to
recover and
recycle this
material?

6. Chart credit: Cornell University Environmental Risk Analysis Program
Connecting the dots…
Municipal Solid Waste plastics = Over 50% film and “off-spec” plastics
Farm waste plastics = Over 90% film and “off-spec” plastics

7. o Plastic films, EPS foam and other “off-spec” plastics
from MSW
o Plastic waste contaminated with other household,
commercial, institutional or industrial wastes
o Silage and haylage bags, bale wrap, bunker silo cover,
mulch film
o Nursery and greenhouse film, shrink wrap
o Pesticide containers
o Nursery pots, trays and flats
o Row covers, woven tarps, plastic sacks
o Bailing twine, drip tapes
Too dirty, too comingled, too contaminated, too wet
Too costly to recover - Too costly to sort
Too costly to clean, dry and bale
INSUFFICIENT MARKET VALUE TO COVER COSTS

8. Dirty, comingled, contaminated,
wet plastics!
Nursery pots, trays, and flats
Pesticide containers
Row covers, woven tarps, plastic sacks
Silage bags, bale wrap, bunker silo cover,
mulch film, greenhouse film, shrink wrap

9. The problem
Insufficient market value
Commodity prices paid for plastic waste
do not support recycling efforts.
The answer – JET Recycling America, Inc.
JRA offers massively scalable systems for transforming
mixed and dirty plastic waste directly into
permanently durable, high-value end-products!

10. Current disposition choices for
agricultural plastic waste:
Bury it Burn it
Recycle it
Transform it:
Plastic to oil

11. CONVERT – Impressive technology, but limited
profitability and still results in burning a non-renewable
carbon resource.
RECYCLE – Middleman costs, costs of sorting to pure grade,
and competition with low-cost virgin plastics reduce
margins and the amount that buyers can pay for waste
materials. Purity requirements of conventional recycling
leave the great majority of plastic waste unused.
TRANSFORM – JRA’s unique capability to process mixed, dirty plastic waste,
and directly manufacture high-value end-products generates the most
profit of any recycling technology. Combining all plastic grades in
manufactured products allows virtually all plastic waste to be used
to generate maximum value.

12. TRANSFORM – with JRA
JRA’s unique capability to process mixed, dirty
plastic waste, and directly manufacture high-
value end-products generates the most profit
of any recycling technology.
Combining all plastic grades in manufactured
products allows virtually all plastic waste
to be used to generate maximum value.

13. JRA can turn all of your dirty agricultural plastic waste
into profitable, environmentally friendly end-products!

14. JRA Accepts ALL
We don’t just recycle – We upcycle!
JRA transforms your single-use and other
discarded plastics into permanently durable,
high-value products.

15. JRA accepts & uses all
agricultural plastics

16. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Every ton of JRA plastic end-products produced:
• Saves one large tree and associated habitat from forest harvest.
• Stops incinerating or converting waste plastics and substantially reduces
CO2 greenhouse gas emissions and sulfur dioxide air emissions.
• Permanently sequesters all the carbon and chemicals used to make the
original plastic products, keeping these compounds out of the environment.
JRA transforms virtually all plastic waste (from all sources) into high-value
end-products for consumer, commercial, institutional, agricultural, and municipal
infrastructure applications. These products are permanently durable, rather
than disposable or gone in a flash.
Use JRA and “Upcycle” rather than recycle!

17. JRA extruders create the precise
combination of pressure, heat and
process duration required to melt
the highest melting point plastics
without burning or crystallizing the
lowest melting point materials. The
result is a highly cohesive,
moldable material which is fed into
specialized profile or multi-
dimensional molds to create an
incredible variety of products.

18. SHOW ME
THE MONEY!
Regardless of social or political goals,
in today’s economy, recycling must be not just
environmentally sustainable,
but economically sustainable as well.
Businesses and consumers should not have to pay an extra cost
to recycle the plastic products they use.

19. The massive problem of plastic waste – 150 billion pounds
per year – requires massively scalable processing and
production, and massive markets for recycled products.
Existing markets for products that can be made by JRA exceed $35 billion.
New products made possible by JRA’s lower cost add billions more potential.

26. BOTTOM LINE
JRA operators will be able to
take all agricultural plastic
waste and pay farmers more
for every pound.
JET Recycling America materials
processing and manufacturing systems
can recycle virutally all plastic waste into
environmentally beneficial end-products
that deliver more profit per pound.
