Brightmark Energy is building a plant that should create 136 new jobs and use a breakthrough technology to turn plastics that we currently have to put in a landfill into useful products such as "ultra-low sulfur diesel, naptha blend stocks and commercial grade wax." The plastics they can use include "plastic film, styrofoam and children's toys." [
WANE] Most of the plastic packaging we get can go into our recycle bin. But plastic bags and styrofoam are prohibited. Our local grocery store accepts plastic bags for recycling, but styrofoam things still have to go into our trash can.
Another win for this project is that it is being built in a "farming town" so it will supply jobs for farmers that have lost their job due to the growth of tractor horsepower. And those jobs will help retain secondary jobs in town such as retail and churches.
