“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Meeting The Needs Of A Circular Economy reported by Greg Kishbaugh A ttaining a circular economy for plastics could be achieved by transitioning a portion of the future investment required to meet the growing demand for plastics toward advanced recycling and me- chanical recycling methods, according to a new analysis by the Circu- lar Plastics Service of IHS Markit’s Houston,Texas office.
APR Updates Design Guidance
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has announced an updated ver- sion of the APR Design Guide for Plastics Recyclability for Polyethylene (PE) Film Packaging. The new guidelines were developed by a working group of APR’s Film Reclama- tion Committee and reflect the consensus of film recyclers, converters and brands.
Revisionist History The revised guidance:
• Rewrites the base materials section to acknowledge the diversity of technol- ogies that make up PE polymers and their impact on recycling compatibility. The new guidance addresses EVA (ethylene-vi- nyl acetate) copolymers and ethylene copolymer ionomers. The APR Design Guide also recommends a threshold for “preferred” materials of 90 percent PE at a minimum and copolymers by weight of the total packaging structure for full com- patibility with PE mechanical recycling processes to maintain the quality and val- ue of the final recyclate; • Acknowledges SiOx and AlOx barriers as “preferred”materials and includes a ro- bust discussion of additives and barrier coatings; • Has an expanded discussion of inks,

IHS Markit said the global plastics industry will need to invest approximately $1.5 trillion to meet growing demand for plastics to 2050. Under current market trends, progress toward a circular economy would be modest, relying primarily on mechanical recy- cling. More ambitious goals, targeted at reducing the practices of landfill, incineration and energy recovery as end-of-life solutions for

is higher than those of most U.S. cities.To date, Rethinking Recycling has improved the livelihoods of more than 450 waste workers, many of whom are marginalized women, by increasing their salaries by up to 200 percent and providing them with access to health care and safe working environ- ments, Delterra said. Tim Hortons Launches Recycling Pilot Programs Through a partnership with Vancouver-based Intuitive AI, waste bins at 12Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada will be equipped with a screen and product image recognition technology to identify packaging items that guests scan.The screen provides guidance to guests on whether the items they scanned can be recycled or go into the compost bin or should go in the waste bin. Also,Tim Hortons is partnering with WestRock to launch a test of a new hot beverage cup design in January at select Vancouver restaurants. The test will feature cups that are made with up to 20 per cent post-consumer recycled con- tent and are compostable and recyclable. This design allows a greater proportion of the cup’s paper fibre to be recovered in the repulping process. This latest design builds off previous work that separately tested cups made with post-consumer recycled materials, and cups that featured a liner that was compostable or recyclable.This tri- al is testing a cup that is compostable or recyclable while also utilizing recycled materials.
McKinsey & Co. is a founding partner in a new environ- mental nonprofit known as Delterra, which has adopted the company’s Rethinking Recycling initiative as a flagship project. McKinsey & Co. will provide $6 million in multi- year funding, as well as a $3.5 million challenge grant and additional in-kind support, to help realize Rethinking Recy- cling’s goal of delivering recycling to countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa. McKinsey.org launched Rethinking Recycling in 2018. Over the last three years, the initiative has built scalable, self-sustaining recycling ecosystems in Indonesia and Ar- gentina, including solutions for plastics and organic waste. The nonprofit said it believes the initiative has reached an inflection point and is ready to further accelerate and scale its impact. Proof-Of-Concept In the coming years,Delterra it will add other initiatives to its portfolio that are designed to develop scalable solutions that redesign human systems for the good of people and the planet. Through its proof-of-concept and scale-up programs in In- donesia andArgentina,Delterra said Rethinking Recycling is on track to bring recycling and waste management services to more than 250,000 people by 2022, most of whom had no access to recycling solutions before. Its programs have also achieved recycling rates of up to 60 percent, which

post-use plastic might be achievable by redirecting a portion of new manufacturing investment toward a wider range of plastic recycling facilities, including mechanical and chem- ical recycling, especially as the latter becomes more eco- nomically feasible, IHS Markit said. More than $300 billion of the total capital spending ear- marked for new plastics production capacity could be re- directed to mechanical and chemical recycling processing capacity, thereby meeting the goals of an aggressive circular economy case, the analysis states. The findings are part of the new IHS Markit Circular Plastics Service, which provides a comprehensive, scenar- io-based road map for how the plastics value chain could transition from a linear to a circular economy model.The research examines two scenarios: progress toward achiev- ing plastics circularity at an incremental, measured pace, and a more aggressive scenario in which progress is accel- erated by ambitious goals and policies set by governments and society. Future Carbon The IHS Markit Circular Plastics Service addresses the im- plications of carbon intensity and the impact on future cap- ital investments within the context of energy transition and carbon valuation amid changing policy and regulations.This service quantifies the magnitude and timing of substantial market shifts, identifies key regulatory and societal risks and provides ongoing tracking of fast-moving developments. “Today, the plastics ecosystem has firmly committed to a transition in which the incumbent linear ‘make, use and dis- pose model’ for plastics is moving toward a more advanced state,” said Robin Waters, Executive Director, Plastics Plan- ning and Analysis, IHS Markit. “In this new case, we keep resources in use as long as possible, extract the maximum value while in use and then recover and regenerate valuable products and materials at the end of life.” Public Concerns Driven by regulation, legislation and rising public con- cerns, progress toward a fully circular economy for plastics by 2050 is increasingly being sought.Yet, demand for plas- tics continues to grow as population and global standards of living rise, IHS Markit notes.A large quantity of plastic is used in single-use packaging (SUP) applications, and much of this plastic ultimately will turn up in the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. “Our analysis indicates that the situation is likely to be- come urgent,” said Anthony Palmer, Vice President, IHS Markit. “At the heart of the matter is that the widespread benefits associated with the use of plastics contrast sharply with the way the world manages its end-of-life disposal— the so-called ‘plastics dilemma.’” The global volume of MSW will increase from 2.1 billion metric tons in 2020 to 3.5 billion to 3.7 billion metric tons in 2050, IHS Markit said.With plastics representing approxi- mately 12 percent of MWS, this means global end-of-life plas- tics will rise to more than 425 million metric tons in 2050,

an increase of 170 million to 190 million metric tons. “Most of this increase will occur in regions outside of North America, Western Europe and China—areas like Southeast Asia, India and Africa—owing to higher growth in population and standard of living,” Palmer said. This presents formidable logistics issues that will chal- lenge overall efforts to recover and recycle plastics because these regions are distant from the manufacturing centers of plastics production associated with the current produce and export model. “Recycle targets for the 2025 and 2030 time frames—such as the EU Packaging Directive and the growing network of Plastic Pacts—indicate that society is tracking toward the more aggressive IHS Markit scenario, and industry will need to adapt its investments accordingly,” Palmer added. Leveling Off At the current pace of progress, plastics recycling via me- chanical processes could plateau at just 14 percent of plas- tics demand by 2050, according to the IHS Markit analysis, or perhaps 22 percent under the more ambitious collection and recycling scenario identified by the company.The latter depends on significant advances in sorting, simplification of product design with end-of-life recycling in mind and devel- opment of selective solvent dissolution-precipitation tech- nology to advance cleanup, the company added.

MSU Recycling Center Adds Amp Robotics Sorter The Michigan State University (MSU) Surplus Store and Recycling Center located on the campus of MSU in East Lan- sing,Michigan, recently installed a robotic sorter to improve safety for its workers. “Our main goal when purchasing this sorter was to re- duce the risk of illness or injury at our material recovery facility (MRF),” said David Smith, the Recycling Director for the facility. The recycling center primarily serves the campus of MSU. The 18,758-square-foot facility employs three full-time workers and 20 part-time students. The MRF processes up to 9 million pounds of materials annually, including plastic, metal, fiber and glass for the campus. The Right Pick The sorter was purchased from Amp Robotics and can make 80 picks per minute. The sorter can learn about re- gional items not common in other recycling streams as well. This includes things such as the campus’ square orange juice refill containers, which are prevalent at MSU but not everywhere else. That information is then sent to a global database for the robotics to learn from and adapt to for fu- ture use. The facility bought the $250,000 sorter through a grant from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality’s Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).

ExxonMobil To Construct Chemical Recycling Plant ExxonMobil Corp., Irving, Texas, plans to build its first large-scale postuse plastic advanced recycling facility in Baytown,Texas.The company said it expects to begin oper- ations at the facility by the end of 2022. ExxonMobil wants to use this facility to help address the challenge of plastic waste in the environment. A smaller, temporary facility already operates and is producing com- mercial volumes of certified circular polymers that will be marketed by the end of this year. The company has performed an initial trial of its propri- etary process for converting plastic scrap into raw materials. The trial reportedly recycled more than 1,000 metric tons of plastic scrap and has demonstrated the capability of pro- cessing 50 metric tons per day. Upon completion of the large-scale facility, the operation will have the capacity to recycle 30,000 metric tons of plas- tic scrap per year. ExxonMobil anticipates that operational capacity could be expanded if policy and regulations that recognize the lifecycle benefits of advanced recycling are implemented for residential and industrial plastic scrap col- lection and sorting systems. The company also plans to build about 500,000 metric tons of advanced recycling capacity globally over the next five years. In Europe, the company is collaborating with Plastic Energy on an advanced recycling plant in Notre Dame de Gra- vechon, France, which is expected to process 25,000 metric tons of plastic scrap per year when it starts in 2023,with the potential for further expansion to 33,000 metric tons of an- nual capacity.The company also is assessing sites in the Neth- erlands, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Canada and Singapore. ExxonMobil also has formed a joint venture with Agilyx Corp., Cyclyx International LLC, focused on developing solutions for aggregating and preprocessing large volumes of plastic scrap that can be converted into feedstocks for products. Cyclyx will help to supply its advanced recycling projects. Smithfield Foods Inc., Smithfield,Virginia, has been award- ed the World Sustainability Awards’ (WSA’s) Profit with a Purpose award.The company was recognized for its renew- able natural gas (RNG) programs that convert methane from pig manure into clean energy for consumers while giving revenue opportunities to family farmers. The company also received an honorable mention in the WSA’s external partnership category for its collaboration with an environmental organization to assist farmers in its supply chain with sustainable farming practices. Smithfield Foods Wins Sustainability Award Smithfield said its RNG projects reduce carbon emissions across America, removing 25 times more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the atmosphere than are released during the resulting RNG’s end-use. The company’s RNG program was developed to accelerate Smithfield’s progress toward realizing its carbon-reduction goals.

Report Focuses On Recycling Market Development Centers A new report from Ameripen, the American Institute for Packaging and the Environment, and sustainability and recy- cling consulting firm Resource Recycling Systems (RRS) is designed to help state governments and other stakeholders establish or improve recycling market development centers. According to “Best Practices for State Recycling Market Development Centers,” such a center is an “agency-led or third-party-led entity or program typically established and funded by state governments focused on facilitating growth within the recycling industry through market development activities.” The best practices guide expands on four primary topics for developing a state recycling market development center: • establishment, or the formal framework for the center; • funding sources for operating and implementing the center; • operations, or how the center is directed, staffed and governed; and • programming, or the center’s activities and the support- ive tools and resources. Stadler Equips MRF In Spain Spain-based FCC Medio Ambiente has worked with Ger- many-based Stadler to complete the renovation of its CITR (Centro Integral de Tratamiento) material recovery facility (MRF) and waste treatment plant in El Campello, Spain. FCC Medio Ambiente, part of the FCC Group, has been managing the plant since April 2009. Stadler calls CITR “a large facility that manages extreme variations in waste in- put.” It serves 52 municipalities in the region. The phases of the project consisted of the installation of the new equipment in five areas of the facility: compost, re- fining, biomethanization, municipal solid waste (MSW) and selective organic collection. Stadler supplied and installed two trommels for screening closed bags and bottles of dif- ferent from bulky waste after passing through a shredder. Wendy’s To Shift To Recycled Plastic Cups In 2022 Wendy’s Co. has partnered with Berry Global, a packag- ing and engineered products company, and LyondellBasell, a chemicals, plastics and refining company, to shift to cups made from recycled materials that are more sustainable than the plastic-lined paper cups currently in use. Starting in early 2022 in the United States and Canada, Wendy’s will use large cups made from at least 20 percent recycled plastic. By 2023, all cups in that region will use recycled plastic. Earlier this year, the company announced that it would make its packaging more eco-friendly as well. Taken to- gether, these changes are part of the company’s commit- ment to sustainably source all of its consumer-facing pack- aging by 2026.

Circular Economy (Cont’d from Page 5)
Currently, mechanical recycling is the most advantageous from an economic, energy and carbon impact perspective. However, limitations to mechanically recycled plastics use arise in light of some degradation that occurs during each reuse cycle, contamination by additives and other factors, IHS Markit said. Therefore, although IHS Markit said it expects mechani- cal recycling to increase significantly from some 20 million metric tons today to 112 million to 200 million metric tons in 2050, for the base and aggressive scenarios, this process alone will not be sufficient to achieve ambitious circularity goals. Chemical recycling will be needed to close the gap, according to the analysis. Steps Forward IHS Markit said it expects step-change improvements in reactor design, catalysis and product processing with chem- ical recycling technologies to enable large-scale implemen- tation of chemical recycling, enabling the aggressive case scenario. However, scale has been an issue to date. “Technology advances would allow significant plant ca- pacity scaleup, for example, from 500 to 3,000 metric tons per day, versus the 50 to 300 metric tons per day that are common today and where pyrolysis technology is cost-pro- hibitive,” said Jonny Goyal, Associate Director, Technology and Infrastructure, IHS Markit. “Pyrolysis technology—that is high-temperature process- es—will be able to operate with improved economics and development and will demonstrate reductions in unit fixed costs by as much as 50 to 65 percent,” he continued. IHS Markit believes that advances along the technology experience curve will enable total chemical recycling ca- pacity to increase from just 1.2 million metric tons today to 44 million to 190 million metric tons in 2050 for different scenarios the company has modeled. The IHS Markit analysis finds that closing the circularity gap will require global alignment of stakeholders: • Governments and regulatory bodies need to coalesce and support the development of standardized goals and reg- ulatory actions that provide clarity and promote a circular model for plastics; • Consumers and alliances need to continue to support the move toward circular-packaging solutions and provide greater transparency while recognizing the many pressures companies face; and • Industry needs to develop required technologies, build assets and manage costs to transition to a new circular mod- el for plastics.
