Grossman examined both the Sentinel EPS recycler and a Japan
Repro recycler and found that the construction of the two
machines was "nearly identical". Further, Grossman concluded
that the recycled polystyrene produced by both machines would
also be nearly identical. In Grossman's opinion, neither the
Japan Repro recycler nor the Sentinel EPS recycler represented "a
serious effort at recycling" because the end-product from both
machines was not completely devolatized and required further
processing. It was also Grossman's opinion that an individual
who seriously wanted to recycle would not purchase either of
these machines.
Grossman's opinion regarding the Sentinel EPE recycler was
based on the descriptions of such recycler as set forth in the
writings of other professionals. He neither tested nor examined
the Sentinel EPE recycler.
Grossman's opinion regarding the Sentinel EPS recycler was
based on his personal examination of a Sentinel EPS recycler, as
well as the descriptions of such recyclers as set forth in the
writings of other professionals . Grossman did not, however,
observe the Sentinel EPS recycler in actual operation.
Finally, Grossman reported on the relationship between the
plastics industry and the petrochemical industry. Grossman noted
that although the development of the petrochemical industry is a
contributing factor in the growth of the plastics industry, the
two industries have a "remarkable degree of independence".
