Technology with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering.
From 1956 until 1989, Lindstrom worked for Arthur D. Little,
Inc., in the areas of process and product evaluation and
improvement and new product development, with special emphasis on
plastics, elastomers, and fibers. At the time of trial,
Lindstrom continued to pursue these areas as a consultant.
In his report, Lindstrom determined that several different
types of equipment capable of recycling expanded polystyrene were
available and priced between $25,000 and $100,000 in 1982. With
respect to the Sentinel EPS recycler in 1982, Lindstrom stated:
“Several machines were available that could reprocess EPS into
higher quality, more useful, higher value product and these
machines or processing systems cost $50,000 to $100,000.”
Lindstrom examined the Buss-Condux Plastcompactor and the
Regenolux. Lindstrom found that these machines were functionally
equivalent to the Sentinel EPS recycler and were available in the
years and at the prices reported by Grossman, detailed supra.
Lindstrom also reported that various equipment companies, such as
the Cumberland Engineering Division of John Brown Plastics
Machinery, were willing to provide customized recycling programs
to companies at a minimum cost of $50,000.
Lindstrom found that the Sentinel EPS recycler could process
between 100 and 200 pounds of plastic per hour.
Lindstrom observed a Sentinel EPS recycler in operation and
