Iowa Waste Reduction Center Receives EPA Award The Iowa Waste Reduction Center at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls was recently selected to re- ceive a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 7 2021 Pollution Prevention Award. According to the EPA, pollution prevention (P2) is any practice that reduces, eliminates, or prevents pollution at its source.The EPA Region 7 P2Awards celebrate organizations across the Midwest who have successfully implemented P2 projects. The Iowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC) was selected for a P2 Award for its work on an Iowa Green Brewery Cer- tification Program. The program assesses a brewery’s sus- tainability, including energy efficiency, sustainable materials management and environmental best practices. Current- ly, 28 breweries across the state have gained certification through the IWRC’s program. The program is a free service for all Iowa breweries that awards sustainable achievements at various levels: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Breweries are scored on a points- based system and recommendations to increase scoring and reduce environmental impact are provided in a customized report. Scepter To Supply Novelis With Aluminum Ingot Scepter, a secondary aluminum recycling and trading com- pany based in Waverly, Tennessee, has signed a multiyear agreement with Atlanta-based Novelis to supply more than 200,000 tons of aluminum ingot featuring up to 95 percent recycled content.Novelis will roll and finish the ingot for its customers that manufacture aluminum beverage cans and food containers in the United States. Scepter produces recycled products at facilities in the United States, Canada and Europe. The company has pro- duced rolling ingot from recycled scrap at its Waverly plant since 1991. This agreement will reportedly result in an estimated car- bon reduction of 1.2 million tons compared with the use of prime-based sheet ingot, supporting both companies’ sus- tainability objectives. U.S. Paper Industry, Paper Recycling Remain Resilient The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA),Wash- ington, released a statement on the status of the U.S. paper and wood products industry and paper recycling through- out the COVID-19 pandemic. Heidi Brock, president and CEO of AF&PA, states that the industry has been “resilient” the past year and a half. According to the AF&PA, total paper recovery for recy- cling was up 8.9 percent in July compared with one year ago. Brock reported that 80 percent of paper mills are using some form of recovered paper to make products such as office paper, packaging, and bath and tissue products.

The Recycling Partnership Continues Feet On The Street The city of Norcross, Georgia, plans to begin checking and tagging curbside recycling bins for contaminants to im- prove the quality of recycling in its single-stream curbside recycling program. The city is participating in Feet on the Street, an initiative developed byThe Recycling Partnership, Falls Church, Virginia. The initiative will provide residents in Norcross with personalized and real-time curbside recy- cling education and feedback. For four weeks beginning September 13, a team of trained professionals will go around Norcross neighborhoods be- fore recycling trucks run their routes to check residents’ re- cycling bins and carts.According to The Recycling Partner- ship, these professionals will leave a tag on bins or carts if they see anything that does not belong in the city’s curbside recycling program. The Recycling Partnership reports that Feet on the Street has helped residents in several cities already, including At- lanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; and Denver, Colorado, and other major cities to improve their recycling habits.The na- tional nonprofit said the program is designed to increase the amount of quality recyclables in curbside bins and carts. Feet on the Street is funded by a $15,000 grant from the nonprofit, with remaining costs funded by Waste Manage- ment and the Sustainable Norcross Commission through the city of Norcross.

Northwest Missouri State Receives Recycling Grant Northwest Missouri State University is the recipient of a $40,095 grant award from the Missouri State Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority. The grant will fund up to 75 percent of the university’s total project costs to purchase a new biomass boiler and heating system. The new equipment will allow Northwest to use an estimated 44 tons of mixed paper per year as an alternative fuel source to heat its recycling center. Stacy Carrick,Northwest Vice President of Finance andAd- ministration, explained that the university annually collects and recycles an average of 150 tons of paper, generated both on campus and from the Maryville community. The value of mixed paper sold at market has decreased, however, and it no longer covers university labor, time and fuel costs for transportation of recyclable paper products. Seeking an alternative use for the excess paper,Northwest Facility Services applied for the EIERA Missouri Market De- velopment Program grant.The grant requires a local match of 25 percent, and the estimated total cost of the project is $53,461. Northwest will provide the matching funds, esti- mated at $13,366, from its recycling center operations fund. In addition to diverting mixed paper that would have en- tered the regional waste stream and eliminating disposal tip- ping fees and transportation labor, the heat produced by the new biomass boiler will drastically reduce or eliminate the need to heat the recycling center with traditional methods.

Associations Show Support For Deposit Programs The Can Manufacturers Institute,Glass Packaging Institute and National Association for PET Container Resources have released a joint statement supporting improved deposit pro- gram designs.The associations said deposit systems lead to higher recycling rates, as well as to better quality material. According to a joint news release, data shows a stark con- trast between recycling rates in deposit states versus nonde- posit states in the country.According to the Container Recy- cling Institute, in 2018, in the 10 states with deposit systems, recycling rates for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, glass bottles and aluminum beverage cans were 62 percent, 64 percent and 77 percent, respectively. That’s compared with countrywide recovery rates of 28 percent, 40 percent and 46 percent, respectively. The organizations also say the increase in deposits can de- crease litter, provide more pure material beneficial to each of the industries they represent and produce a resilient sup- ply of material needed to make new beverage containers. The Alliance to End Plastic Waste (Alliance), a global non- profit dedicated to ending plastic waste, and the Center for Regenerative Design and Collaboration (CRDC), a construc- tion materials manufacturer based in Heredia, Costa Rica, plan to scale up a solution to convert hard-to-recycle plastic scrap into a concrete additive for building and construction applications. The two will expand CRDC’s footprint in North America with a 14,000-square-foot production plant inYork, Pennsyl- vania. CRDC also will scale up its existing production plant in Costa Rica from small-scale commercial production to a full-scale commercial capacity of 90 tons per day when fully operational by 2022. Hard-To-Recycle Plastic Conversion Firm Forms The CRDC said the two facilities will process up to 24,000 metric tons of plastic scrap per year combined. They will accept all types of mixed plastic scrap that would otherwise be sent to landfill or be incinerated to produce the concrete additive, Resin8.The product is suitable for numerous appli- cations, including concrete blocks and pavers, precast con- crete and poured-in-place concrete. Berry Global Joins Recycling Partnership Coalition Berry Global Group, a packaging manufacturer based in Evansville, Indiana, has joined The Recycling Partnership’s Polypropylene Recycling Coalition.The coalition is aimed at increasing recycling access for polypropylene (PP). The company said the announcement extends its goal of enhancing recycling infrastructure as part of the quest toward a circular economy. Berry joins Polypropylene Re- cycling Coalition steering committee members like Keurig Dr. Pepper, Braskem, NextGen Consortium and the Walmart Foundation.

PepsiCo Pledges To Reduce Virgin Plastic Use The Berkeley, California-based nonprofit group that pro- motes shareholder advocacy, As You Sow, has announced that PepsiCo Inc., headquartered in Purchase, NewYork, has agreed to reduce its total virgin nonrenewable plastic use across its brands by 20 percent by 2030. The company reached an agreement with As You Sow to set an absolute plastic reduction target following the filing of a shareholder resolution on the topic but needed time to assess the size of the cuts, according to the nonprofit. The commitment should reduce the company’s use of vir- gin nonrenewable plastic by about 460,000 tons over the next nine years and result in a 50 percent cut in virgin nonrenew- able plastic when measured per serving across its food and beverage portfolios.AsYou Sow said PepsiCo projects that by expanding its SodaStream business, which allows consumers to make beverages at home without containers, it could avoid the use of 200 billion plastic bottles by 2030. Four other large companies — Keurig Dr Pepper, Monde- lez International, Target Corp. and Walmart Inc.— agreed to virgin plastic reductions earlier this year that will be achieved by 2025, the nonprofit said.

California’s Carpet Recycling Program Sees Improved Rates Carpet recycling reportedly saw significant progress in 2020 in California, according to Carpet America Recovery Effort’s (CARE’s) recently released California Carpet Stew- ardship Program 2020 Annual Report. The California Program achieved an all-time program high recycling rate of 23.2 percent in Q4 2020, with an overall annual recycling rate of 21 percent in 2020.While it did not meet the target 24 percent goal, the recycling rate for this fossil-fuel-based material is up 107 percent in the past five years. Sixty-Eight percent of the carpet collected in California was recycled in 2020, the report stated.This percentage has grown dramatically over the life of the program from just 28 percent 9 years ago, thanks to expanded processing capaci- ty, growing markets for post-consumer carpet materials and technological advances. Major market development efforts, particularly in the cre- ation of a market for carpet backing material, also known as PC4, has led to the 68 percent yield rate. According to the California Carpet Stewardship Program’s 2020 Annual Report: • 67 million pounds of post-consumer carpet was divert- ed from California landfills; • 53 million pounds of recycled output was produced; • More than 72 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions (MTC02E) was saved; and • $16.9 million in subsidies supported collectors, proces- sors and manufacturers of recycled carpet material.
