Recycled Plastic to get Clean Bill of Health
New Scientist, Michael Reilly, 5/09/2007
“A new generation of plastics recycling plants promises to change all that.

USCAR's VRP Contracts with ECO2 Plastics to Explore 'Rinse and Recycle' Applications
USCAR Press Release, 6/25/2007
“As part of its work, the VRP recently contracted with ECO2 Plastics Inc. (ECOO.OB), of San Francisco, to evaluate its proprietary polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic recycling technology. The ECO2 technology removes substances of concern from plastics recovered from “shredder residue” - the material left when end-of-life vehicles (ELV), household appliances and other large items are "shredded" by a large, grinding hammer-mill, or shredder, as part of their recycling process.”
