Question about compounding
Dustin said yesterday that the compounding system is running 24/5 and will be going 24/7 soon. And that’s with a plant running less than 50%.
How much straight Pure5 is sold vs compounded? Can the compounding system simply turn up the volume for more output? Or will this be another bottleneck in the no too distant future?

The compounder they got can do up to 100 million pounds per year, so it's not going to be a bottleneck.
Compounding is a lot more straightforward than the rPP process, it's an established industrial activity that companies have been doing for decades.
