2. Lindstrom
Lindstrom graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of
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 in 1981 several
different types of equipment capable of recycling expanded
polyethylene were available and priced at approximately $50,000.
Lindstrom found that, on the basis of his research, “there were
available in 1981 commercial units that could be purchased for
$50,000 or less that were totally equal to the Sentinel EPE
recycler in function, product quality, and capacity."
Lindstrom examined the Buss-Condux Plastcompactor and the
Regenolux. Lindstrom found that these machines were functionally
equivalent to the Sentinel EPE 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.
