While recycling efforts are often focused on plastic water bottles or milk jugs for their main purpose, few people consider the plastics used by hospitals. All medical products, including IV bags and tubing, are made of plastic. Every time a patient visits a medical facility in any part of the world, they create waste.
Hospitals, laboratories, research centres, animal testing labs, mortuaries, and nursing homes can produce a lot of medical waste quickly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), high income countries like the U.S. produce around 13 pounds of medical debris per person each year.
Plastic medical waste can be disposed of in a variety of ways by hospitals. Some hospitals use incineration to release toxins into the air. Some plastics can be disinfected using autoclaving or pressurized steam cleaning before being shredded. However, most medical waste ends in landfills.
JBI, Inc., found a better solution: recycling medical waste plastic into fuel. John Bordynuik was looking through old research archives and discovered information about a catalyst that can efficiently convert plastic molecules into oil, similar to biofuel.
Plastic 2 Oil (P2O) is a new technology that extracts approximately one liter of fuel per kilogram of raw plastics.
JBI Inc. trades on OTC under the symbol JBII and is currently buying an U.S. custom air ventilation and air filtration company. This company has previously worked with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and many federal agencies within the health care sector. JBI, Inc. will be able to recycle medical waste plastic using its P2O process.
The company is seeking facilities that can be transformed into P2O factory. The P2O process will provide additional fuel for those who allow P2O factories on their land.
