Avoid being misled by the fields of green — most farming isn’t eco-friendly. Farms have an impact on Mother Earth in many ways, including animal waste, pesticides, fertilizers and plastic trash. However, some companies are trying to clean up and greenen farms.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that plastics made up almost 31 million tonnes of municipal solid waste in the United States, which is 12.1 percent of the total municipal solid waste generated in 2007. Major contributors to this problem are farms. Plastic barrels and silage bags are used by farms, which often end up in the landfills. Although the greenhouse industry is often thought to be clean, it uses plastic pots, trays, and polyethylene films. Some growers are now looking for biodegradable alternatives such as peat, coconut, bamboo and straw. None of these options will solve the problem completely. Some materials are not visually appealing, while others can crack or mold grow. Many come in plastic packaging.

With their plastic, farmers can do any one of these things. Although they can recycle it, most don’t because of health concerns. Some plastic can be recycled by farmers, though it can be difficult to collect and transport the plastic to a center. Now, farmers can make their agricultural waste plastic fuel.

JBI Inc. is a global technology company that trades on the OTC Market under the stock symbol JBII. It has created a method to convert plastic molecules into an oil comparable to diesel fuel. Plastic 2 Oil (P2O), is a process that extracts around a liter oil per kilogram of plastic. Each facility can process 20 tons of scrap each day. A gas byproduct of the P2O processing provides all the energy required to turn plastics into oils, eliminating the need to pay for energy.

JBI is seeking people who have manufacturing or farming facilities that are not functioning at their full potential to be converted into P2O factories. Americans who allow P2O factories in their homes will be able to use the extra fuel provided by the P2O process to power their home and other businesses.
