Grossman's report concerning the value of the Sentinel EPS
recyclers discusses the limited market for the recycled plastic
material. Grossman concluded that these recyclers were unlikely
to be successful products because of the absence of any new
technology, the absence of a continuous source of suitable scrap,
and the absence of any established market. Grossman suggested
that a reasonable comparison of the products available in the
polystyrene industry in 1982 with the Sentinel EPS recyclers
reveals that the recyclers had very little commercial value and
were similar to comparable products available on the market in
component form. For these reasons, Grossman opined that the
Sentinel EPS recyclers did not justify the "one-of-a-kind" price
