“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Van Dyk Recycling Helps Launch New MRF by Greg Kishbaugh F or the past decade, the Santa Barbara County PublicWorks Depart- ment in Santa Barbara, California, has been looking for ways to im- prove recycling programs and overall diver- sion from landfilling.To meet new state
$54M Committed To Closed Loop Partners Closed Loop Partners announced that some of the world’s largest consumer brands and corporate foundations are extending more than $54 million in cap- ital commitments with the Closed Loop Infrastructure Fund (CLIF). This exten- sion is testament, said the company, to the progress CLIF has made over the last five years toward building a more circular economy and the sense of urgency from these brands to accelerate their circular economy goals and support the transfor- mation of the recycling system. Today, the original nine investors in the fund — 3M, Coca-Cola, Colgate Pal- molive, Johnson & Johnson Consum- er Health, Keurig Dr. Pepper, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and The Walmart Foundation — are extending their capital commitments, strengthen- ing their investment in the infrastructure needed to build a more circular econo- my. Amazon, Danone North America, Da- none Waters of America, Nestlé Waters North America and Starbucks have since joined the fund. Together, these compa- nies’ major investments support addi- tional recycling infrastructure and spur growth and technological innovation around end markets for post-consumer materials across North America.
laws mandating increased diver- sion rates and reductions in the amount of organics sent to landfills, Santa Barbara Coun- ty invested in the ReSource
Center, a project — built on the Tajiguas Landfill — that will simultaneously address new mandates through increasing recy- cling,composting organics currently being landfilled, and reducing the landfill’s carbon footprint.
Waste Recovery Their Tajiguas Landfill serves the South Coast and Santa Ynez Valley areas of
Santa Barbara County and accepts around 200,000 tons of material each year.The first phase of the project, which is planned to be fully functional by early 2021, is a new MRF (materials recovery facility) that will process municipal solid waste (MSW) collected from the area, separating recyclables and organics from the trash. In order to turn the plans into reality,Van Dyk Recycling Solutions,Nor- walk, Connecticut, was brought on board to supply and install two 3D trommel screens,various sizing screens,air density separators,three ellip- tical separators, and 11 optical units will recover and separate paper and containers. Installation is nearing completion and is set to begin start up and commissioning by fall of 2020.

EPA Reaches Settlement With WM Of Wisconsin
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has an- nounced a settlement with Waste Management of Wiscon- sin Inc. (WMWI) that will include enhanced monitoring for hazardous waste near the Metro Landfill in Franklin, Wis- consin, and a $232,000 fine to resolve alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Metro Landfill WMWI, a subsidiary of Houston-basedWaste Management Inc., owns and operates the Metro Recycling and Disposal Facility.The Metro Landfill is licensed by the state ofWiscon- sin to accept non-hazardous municipal, commercial, indus- trial and special wastes for disposal, but is not authorized to treat, store or dispose of hazardous waste. EPA alleged that WMWI improperly disposed of hazardous electric arc fur- nace dust from a steel casting foundry at the Metro Landfill on at least 10 days.The dust was contaminated with chro- mium, a hazardous waste and known human carcinogen. Monitoring The Situation Under the terms of the settlement,WMWI has agreed to conduct leachate and groundwater monitoring, and update its waste management plan and training program. The set- tlement also includes a civil penalty of $232,000. The proposed settlement is subject to a 30-day public comment period and final court approval.

Santa Barbara MRF (Cont’d from Page 1)
The recyclables captured at the MRF are baled and sold to market. The organics captured at the MRF move on to second phase of the project, the anaerobic digestion facil- ity. Here, organics are broken down and turned into com- post and renewable energy. The energy generated by the ReSource Center (which also includes an existing landfill gas collection system) will reportedly be enough to power the system itself as well as 2,000 local homes per year. The county estimates about 60 percent of incoming MSW material is either recyclable or compostable. The MRF is expected to recover that fraction (composed of roughly equal parts recyclables and organics) from the MSW, sig- nificantly reducing the county’s landfill contributions.This will extend the life of the landfill by up to a decade, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the project will be the largest reducer of greenhouse gases in the county, slashing 117,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the landfill’s output (the equivalent of taking 29,000 cars off the road) each year. Paper Group Calls For Cup Recycling ‘Recognition’ As retailers start to re-open after lockdown, the Paper Cup Recovery and Recycling Group (PCRRG) has called for greater recognition of paper cup recycling. In a recent report, the membership organization said it wanted to emphasize to all businesses that coffee cups can be recovered and recycled. PCRRG members include rep- resentatives from paper board manufacturers, paper cup manufacturers, distributors, retail brands, recycling and re- processing companies, local authorities and NGOs. The PCRRG launched the National Cup Recycling Scheme in 2018. Figures from compliance scheme Valpak show that since its launch the scheme has collected and recycled more than 150 million cups, the PCRRG said. There has been an increase of nearly 50 percent in the average number of cups collected each day through the scheme between its first and second years, the PCRRG said, though the number of cups being recycled per month has slowed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hasbro Partners With Terracycle To Recycle Toys Toymaker Hasbro is partnering with recycling initiative TerraCycle to offer a free UK recycling program for its prod- ucts.The program will allow people to send their unwanted Hasbro toys to be recycled into new products. Items that will be accepted include board games, dolls, action figures, electronic games, and plush toys from any Hasbro brands.TerraCycle will transform some of the toys into materials that can be used to make new products, in- cluding outdoor furniture and planters. The recycling program is already available in the United States, Germany, Canada, France and Brazil and is part of Hasbro’s growing commitment to focus on sustainability.

Indonesian Embassy Releases Export Procedures As per a requirement of Indonesia’s scrap import regula- tions that were finalized in late 2019, the Indonesian govern- ment has developed a process for exporters to register with the Indonesian Embassy and Consulates, according to a news release from Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI). Registration Process Adina Renee Adler,Vice President of Advocacy at ISRI, said the new registration process applies for exporters of all scrap commodities. “The Indonesian government wants to understand better who is sending them materials,” she said. Exporters of any and all scrap commodities to customers in Indonesia may apply for this registration. Adler said the new registration process applies to export- ers in any country, not just the United States. She notes that this process is somewhat unique, but it’s similar to licensing processes in China. She said Indonesia’s new registration procedures for exporters are“not as onerous” as processes with China. Updated Information According to an update from ISRI, the government of In- donesia has agreed to ISRI’s request to implement a grace period for the new registration requirement. Exporters will have until Oct. 1 to comply.

Johnnie Walker Whiskey To Be Sold In Paper Bottles Johnnie Walker, the whiskey which traces its roots back 200 years, will soon be available in paper bottles. Diageo, the drinks giant that owns the brand, said it plans to run a trial of the new environmentally-friendly packaging from next year.While most JohnnieWalker is sold in glass bottles, the firm is looking for ways of using less plastic across its brands. Pulpex Launched To make the paper bottles, Diageo will co-launch a firm called Pulpex, which will also produce packaging for the likes of Unilever and PepsiCo. Diageo’s paper whiskey bottle, which will be trialled in spring 2021, will be made from wood pulp and will be fully recyclable, the company said. The idea is that customers would be able to drop them straight into the recycling. Using Less Plastic Diageo said its bottles will be made by pressurizing pulp in moulds, which will then be cured in microwave ovens. The bottles will be sprayed internally with coatings that are designed not to interact with the drinks they will contain. Many cartons made out of paper have a plastic coating inside to stop the drinks leaking out. Diageo, however, said its drinks bottles will not have that plastic coating.

China Affirms Ban On Several Scrap Commodities In 2021 The Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) said its sources in the People’s Republic of China have confirmed that China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) intends to ban the import of materials it considers “solid wastes” in 2021. Starting in 2021, the MEE will “no longer accept and ap- prove import applications for solid waste,” according to the BIR.The recycling association says news of the confirmation came from an MEE press conference held in late June. Pertinent to the newest regulations, the BIR said the MEE considers them“in line with the policies applied since 2017 to reduce the import of ‘foreign waste.’” The recycling association also said China will place a newly revised“Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by SolidWastes” into force September 1,“clarifying the legal requirements for the identification of attributes of imported goods ‘suspected of [being] solid wastes.’” The dilemma for metals, plastic, paper and board produc- ers in China—and the global traders who supply them—is that the Chinese government has in the past several years included a broad range of commonly traded secondary com- modities in its “waste” classification. Metals producers have been attempting to get higher grades of nonferrous and ferrous scrap to be reclassified as a “resource” rather than a waste.The nonferrous sector may soon benefit from that designation, while the ferrous sector is now exploring taking a similar path. Plastics scrap imports have been scrutinized and subject to restrictions and bans for several years. The 2021 ban seems to also prohibit scrap paper imports, which have helped feed China’s sizable containerboard and paperboard industry for the previous two decades. Paper and board producers in China have seemingly been preparing for the ban, in part by building or buying pulping facilities overseas so they can ship pulp,which has not been deemed a “waste”material. The ability of Chinese metals and paper producers to pay for overseas scrap and create new products is well estab- lished and is demonstrated in part by the recently issued ninth batch of 2020 scrap import quotas. According to a separate BIR press release, the MEE’s ninth batch allows for more than 175,000 metric tons of copper scrap, nearly 210,000 metric tons of aluminum scrap and more than 1.1 million metric tons of recovered paper to enter China. Waste Pro Acquires Angie’s Disposal Service Waste Pro, Longwood, Florida, has acquired Citrus County, Florida-based Angie’s Disposal Service Inc. The acquisition became effective July 1. Angie’s Disposal Service has been servicing approximate- ly 4,500 customers in the Citrus County area for the past four years.As part of the acquisition arrangement,Waste Pro will now provide service to these customers and has on- boarded Angie’s employees at its Hernando, Florida, facility.

As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the U.S. Environ- mental ProtectionAgency (EPA) has highlighted the progress the United States has made in recycling and outlined how it is working with its partners to address current challenges. According to the EPA, recycling benefits communities, the en- vironment and the American economy, accounting for nearly 757,000 jobs and $36.6 billion in annual wages. “Since EPA was founded in 1970, the U.S. recycling rate has risen from 10 percent to 35 percent, and we aim to push it even higher,”EPA Administrator AndrewWheeler said.“Later this year, EPA will establish new national recycling goals and take steps to support the recycling industry in new ways.” “Recycling is a tangible way that everyone, every day, can help protect human health and the environment,” EPA Of- fice of Land and Emergency Management Assistant Adminis- trator Peter Wright says.“The positive impacts on both our environment and economy are more important than ever.” When EPA was founded, the national recycling rate was less than 10 percent. Curbside recycling was not an option until 1980 when Woodbury, New Jersey, became the first city to offer collection at the curb.Today, recycling programs can be found across the country. Facing Challenges Despite this progress, the United States recycling system is facing a number of challenges.To combat some of these issues,Wheeler hosted the first America Recycles Day Sum- mit in November 2018.The summit brought together stake- holders from across the United States recycling system to join EPA in signing theAmerica Recycles Pledge and identify four action areas: • promote education and outreach;

• enhance materials management infrastructure; • strengthen secondary material markets; and • enhance measurement.
Last year, at the 2019 America Recycles Day Summit, EPA released the National Framework for Advancing the U.S. Re- cycling System, andWheeler announced that EPA would es- tablish a national recycling goal in 2020. EPA and the now more than 200 America Recycles Pledge signers have made significant progress since first convening in 2018, EPA said. Keeping A Pledge Over the past year, EPA has been continuing to work with the pledge signers to develop a “virtual clearinghouse” to assist municipalities and local governments in finding recy- cling resources in one centralized place.The America Recy- cles network has also developed a map of the United States recycling system to help set national recycling goals. EPA has hosted recycling market development workshops, is- sued public service announcements encouraging recycling “right” during COVID-19 and published a Federal Register notice seeking comment on the federal government’s “buy recycled”program,under the authority of EPA’s Comprehen- sive Procurement Guidelines (CPG).

Coalition Aims To Improve Polypropylene Recycling The Recycling Partnership, Falls Church, Virginia, has launched its Polypropylene Recycling Coalition, an industry collaboration to improve polypropylene (PP) recovery and recycling in the United States and further develop end mar- kets for high-quality recycled PP. The coalition has opened a request for proposals (RFP) for material recovery facilities (MRFs) to apply for financial grants to enable improved sortation of PP and widen acceptance through consumer education programs in communities. The Polypropylene Recycling Coalition, as a part of The Recycling Partnership’s Pathway to Circularity Initiative, is supported by funders representing all segments of the material’s value chain, including founding members Keurig Dr Pepper, Braskem and theWalmart Foundation.Additional inaugural members include American Chemistry Council, Danone North America, EFS Plastics, KW Plastics, Lyondell- Basell, Procter & Gamble, St. Joseph Plastics and Winpak. The coalition set an initial funding target of $35 million over five years and is seeking additional supporters. In particular, Keurig Dr Pepper, Burlington,Massachusetts, has announced that it is committing $10 million over the next five years to this new coalition to help improve the recovery and recycling of PP in the United States. Collaborating Keurig Dr Pepper has committed to providing more than $30 million in collaborative projects and partnerships across North America to encourage the circular economy. Other projects the company has invested in include the American Beverage Association’s Every Bottle Back initia- tive, the Closed Loop Fund and several initiatives led byThe Recycling Partnership, Keep America Beautiful and World Wildlife Fund. The Recycling Partnership’s new industry-wide collabora- tive will address key opportunities in recycling PP, or No. 5 plastic.According toThe Recycling Partnership’s“2020 State of Curbside Recycling” report, there may be as much as 1.6 billion pounds of PP available per year from single-family homes that could be recycled into new products ranging from automotive parts to personal care and food packaging. The Recycling Partnership reports that the Polypropylene Recycling Coalition’s RFP aims to improve recycling in the United States by awarding grant dollars to be applied to pur- chasing PP sorting equipment and supporting consumer education programs in communities.Through funding like these grants, research and consumer education programs, the coalition aims to make it easier for people to recycle PP in curbside recycling and ensure that more recyclers can effectively sort the material in their facilities. The Polypropylene Recycling Coalition will be aided by an advisory committee of industry leaders including the Association of Plastic Recyclers, Closed Loop Partners, Side- walk Infrastructure Partners, Sustainable Packaging Coali- tion andWorldWildlife Fund. Former Environmental Protec- tion Agency Administrator Carol Browner will serve as an independent advisor to the coalition.
