"Impure"? Thermal depolymerization works on wood chips, turkey guys,
old tires, AND manure. The trouble is, they made a big commitment to
the turkey-guts based operation, since their supplier wanted to get rid
of them, but after a while there were competing demands for turkey guts
and they had to start bidding against others. My understanding was that
manure was also wanted elsewhere, but it sounds like there are places
where they should be able to get it for free.
