Great Northern Turns To Van Dyk
Closed Loop Partners Innovates The Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners announces the nine winners of the Beyond the Bag Challenge: ChicoBag, Domtar, Eon, Fill it Forward, GOATOTE, PlasticFri, Returnity, SmartC and Sway.The winning solutions fall into three categories: Reuse and Re- fill; Enabling Technology; and Innovative Materials. Their work ranges from reus- able packaging systems, to technology that incentivizes consumers to make the sustainable choice, to bags derived from seaweed or agricultural waste. The win- ners now enter the next phase of the initiative: working closely with the Con- sortium to prototype, refine and test the viability of their designs to scale as long- term solutions. Curbing Plastic It is estimated that 100 billion plas- tic bags per year are used in the United States alone and less than 10 percent are recycled; the convenience of single-use plastics has had far-reaching consequenc- es for the planet. Single-use plastic bags continue to be one of the top 10 items found along beaches and waterways ac- cording to data from Ocean Conservan- cy’s International Coastal Cleanup. The

I n a bid to recover more value in existing materi- als, Great Northern Fibers of West Babylon, New York, sought to upgrade its fiber sorting line to a more automatic design. The fiber system alter- nates processing commer- cial fiber and residential dual stream news from Long Island communities on the same sort line.The incoming material is heav- ily comprised of OCC.The system has an existing OCC screen to remove large cardboard, but a lot of small cardboard pieces were making it into the paper stream. That small OCC was ending up ei- ther in residue or as part of a mixed paper grade that wasn’t as valuable as the sum of its parts.
Great Northern Fiber turned to Van Dyk to find solutions for its baled news ( top ) and OCC ( bottom ).

To upgrade the system and recover more valu- able fiber, Great Northern turned to Van Dyk Recycling Solutions of Norwalk, Connecticut, for a solution. “In my years of experience, I have discovered that not all equip- ment is of the same quality,”said Joe Fiorillo,General Manager at Great Northern.

Glass Recycling Pilot Advances In Pennsylvania Prism Recycling, Erie, Pennsylvania, has developed a drop- off pilot program for glass recycling in Erie County, Penn- sylvania, through a public-private partnership between the Erie County Recycling program, the Erie Area Council of Governments, CAP Glass Recycling and the Glass Recycling Foundation. The Glass Recycling Foundation,Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a nonprofit that was established to help support pilot projects to overcome barriers to glass recycling. In late 2018, Erie County officials had announced that contracted haulers in the area were removing glass from single-stream recycling. Establishing A Partnership Prism first worked to establish a public-private partner- ship pilot project involving local government and the glass recycling and container manufacturing industries.Through a series of discussions with partner organizations, the Glass Recycling Municipal Drop-Off Pilot Project Public-Private Partnership for Erie County started. The Glass Recycling Foundation reports that the pilot project “aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of public- and private-sector collaboration to establish an efficient means to collect large volumes of glass,bringing it back into the regional glass recycling supply chain and support local and regional economic development serving as a model for other mid-size communities.”

global threats brought about by climate change and the pandemic have only underscored the urgency of address- ing our current system. The Consortium to Reinvent the Retail Bag is a pre-com- petitive collaboration committed to reimagining the retail bag and creating a more circular delivery system. Unveiled in July 2020, the Consortium’s Beyond the Bag Initiative is an ambitious three-year undertaking that aims to identify and scale innovative alternatives to the single-use plastic re- tail bag. Consortium Founding Partners CVS Health,Target andWalmart committed $15 million collectively to the bold collaboration, with the goal of driving transformational change.The Consortium has welcomed additional partners DICK’S Sporting Goods,Dollar General,The Kroger Co.,The TJX Companies, Inc., Ahold Delhaize USA Brands, Albert- sons Companies, Hy-Vee, Meijer,Wakefern Food Corp., and Walgreens, who have joined in its mission. Global Recycling Foundation Fights Electronic Waste Electronic waste should now be regarded as the great- est threat to our planet, according to the Global Recycling Foundation. The United Nations has already warned that the current 53 million tonnes of e-waste generated every year will more than double by 2050 making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. “It may already be too late to stem the tide of the mil- lions of discarded smart phones and other electronic waste from fridges and TVs to microwaves and PC monitors,” said founding President of the Global Recycling Foundation, Ranjit Baxi.“It is not just the items themselves but the irre- placeable precious metals and dangerous components like lithium-ion batteries, cadmium, lead and mercury, flame re- tardant chemicals and corrosive acid that are used in their manufacture. It amounts to so much toxic waste which if not professionally recycled ends up on waste dumps.” According to the Foundation, thousands of containers of plastic and electronic waste are shipped annually around the world to countries which are already incapable of handling the mountains of waste arriving in their ports every year. Over the past 5 years e-waste has grown to 53 million tons and is projected to reach 74 million tons by 2030. Only about 10 million tonnes of e-waste annually is recy- cled, and precious metals valued at more than $55 billion are not recovered and are either dumped or burned. Burn- ing of e-waste produces more than 100 million tons of CO2 emissions. General Kinematics Acquires Schwingtechnik General Kinematics (GK), a vibratory equipment manufac- turer and system integrator located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, has acquired the Cyrus Schwingtechnik business unit, locat- ed in Recklinghausen, Germany. Cyrus provides modular vi- bratory machines for conveying and screening technology.

Revolution Acquires Jadcore LLC
Little Rock,Arkansas-based Revolution, a recycler of poly- ethylene film and a manufacturer of film products for the agricultural, industrial and commercial and consumer mar- kets, has acquired Indiana-based Jadcore LLC “to expand its closed-loop manufacturing capabilities” and expand in the Midwest market with its environmentally friendly plastic products and services. Jadcore was founded about 40 years ago in Terre Haute, Indiana, by the Doti family with a vertically integrated man- ufacturing platform focused on recapturing and recycling postindustrial plastic scrap, which it supplies to other man- ufacturers as an alternative to virgin materials. Jadcore man- ufactures can liners and specialty bags made from postin- dustrial recycled resin. The company’s operations include recycling services, proprietary blending and processing as well as blown film products for institutional and retail mar- kets made with postindustrial recycled resin. Revolution reports that it offers blown film products for the agriculture, construction, foodservice and retail sectors. The company recovers and processes customers’ used plas- tics to create postconsumer recycled resin, which is made into new products such as trash can liners, carryout bags and construction films or sold in resin form to businesses looking to add recycled content to their product supply chain. Revolution was acquired by Arsenal Capital Partners in 2019.

DOE Issues Cornell $1.5M Grant
Buyer’s Guide BALERS (HORIZONTAL)
A new research project led by Cornell University seeks to find an integrated approach to turning industrial waste into valuable materials using a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. According to Cornell, the steel industry has sought meth- ods to reuse by-products, such as sludge and slag, for steel and other manufacturing processes, however, efforts have mainly focused on treating waste materials independently of each other. A group of academic and industry experts led by Greesh- ma Gadikota, Assistant Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, have proposed a new approach that would synergize the recycling of industrial steel waste by improving the recovery and quality of by-products using carbon dioxide generated during the iron and steel-making process. APR Recycling Demand Champions Campaign Surges The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) announced that its program designed to expand market demand for recycled plastics has generated more than 175 million pounds of new demand for postconsumer resin (PCR) in its third year.The APR announced the latest program results during the Virtual APR Member Meeting. First launched in 2018 the APR Recycling Demand Cham- pions Campaign has grown exponentially in its first three years. The first year of the program increased demand for PCR by 6.8 million pounds, and the second year increased demand for PCR by 25.9 million pounds. Collectively, the APR Demand Champions increased their PCR purchasing by 175.4 million pounds in 2020.This level of demand increase has resulted in major economic and en- vironmental benefits: preventing the greenhouse gas emis- sions equivalent to 45,494 passenger vehicles driven for one year, creating 2,000 jobs in plastics recycling, and providing a new life for a years’ worth of all of the plastic recyclables from a city the size of Chicago, IL (2,695,598 population). Amcor has reported success toward meeting its goal to have all the packaging it produces be reusable or recyclable by 2025.The company said it is innovating its products with recycling and reuse in mind, collaborating with others to make recycling widely available and informing consumers about their role in keeping waste out of the environment. The company reported that it invests $100 million annu- ally in research and development (R&D), which in part has led to the development of the AmLite HeatFlex solution for retort packaging. Amcor said the impact of its R&D investments can be seen in its sales, with $7.7 billion in Amcor revenue generated from packaging that meets recyclability guidelines.

Van Dyk (Cont’d from Page 1) Van Dyk proposed a 2800 wide optical sorter to remove small cardboard pieces in the unders of the OCC.The op- tical sorter shoots positively on OCC, ejecting brown fiber from the remaining news stream. Results are twofold: by removing browns from the paper, the news grade is now clean enough to sell as news; the browns captured by the optical sorter are blended back in with the OCC and baled. According to Fiorillo, the facility’s OCC tonnage has dramat- ically increased and they can maximize their advantage on the currently high OCC prices. “The improved quality of the product produced has en- abled us to get more money for the product, and also to find constant markets for it,” he said. Efficient Operation The optical sorter’s efficiency in cleaning up the paper lines has allowed Great Northern to eliminate six hand sort- ers, and because it can sort faster and handle more capacity, they have been able to increase its production and tph. “We were running with a shift and a half. Now we can produce the same overall tonnage with just one shift and fewer people,” said Fiorillo. Van Dyk Recycling Solutions completed the install in late 2020. “What has impressed me the most about Van Dyk over the years is that every piece of machinery fits perfectly and is bolted together,” said Fiorillo.“Van Dyk measures, and then remeasures, to make sure everything fits. The installation was on point and the Van Dyk install team was very pro- fessional.” The optical sorter is outfitted with a Deft Air wind tunnel on its acceleration belt to stabilize paper and prevent float- ing.When paper lies still, the optical sorter can increase the accuracy of its picks and can also process more material at a higher speed. All residue is now centralized to one location where a reversible belt feeds two compactors, making the system fully automatic. Storage bunkers replace the original push through bunkers to eliminate double handling of the mate- rial. All materials are baled in a Bollegraaf HBC 120s baler from Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, which Great Northern finds to be a reliable workhorse. “Van Dyk’s service is impeccable,” said Fiorillo. “When we call for assistance, we get an immediate response. Over- night delivery on parts is very reliable and, in an emergency, they will even deliver same day via courier. The fact that they keep all parts in stock is an amazing asset for their customers.

NYC Waste Company Owner Pleads Guilty To Bribery A NewYork City-based waste hauling company owner has pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court for bribery. On February 17, George Kalergios, the owner of several waste hauling companies in the area, including Queens- based Zeus Waste Management Inc., pleaded guilty via vid- eoconference to bribery and conspiracy to commit bribery in connection with a scheme to secure waste management contracts from a local college. According to a release from the U.S.Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of NewYork, the businessman agreed to bribe the facilities director of an unnamed New York City college to grant Zeus the exclusive right to remove the cam- pus’ waste. Specifically, Kalergios agreed to pay the facilities director 10 percent of any payments that the college made to Zeus under any contracts directed to the company. In July 2018, the facilities director awarded a three-year contract to the waste management company that gave it the exclusive right to remove non-hazardous waste from the college’s campus. Between July 2018 and March 2019, pursuant to their agreement, Kalergios made multiple cash payments to the facilities director totaling approximately $11,095. When sentenced, Kalergios faces up to 15 years’ imprisonment. In addition, Kalergios has agreed to pay for- feiture in the amount of $110,955. Enval Partners With Kraft, Heinz Co., Sonoco Enval has partnered with Kraft Heinz Co. and Sonoco to launch Touchdown, a project that seeks to improve pack- aging sustainability by accelerating the deployment of new plastic recycling solutions in the United States. U.K.-based Enval has developed technology to recycle aluminum from plastic-aluminum laminates. The company recycles flexible packaging using a proprietary pyrolysis solution that produces feedstock that can be used in the production of new plastic. Enval’s ultimate aim with the project is to establish its first recycling plants in the United States that use its proprietary technology. According to the company, the first phase of the project will involve Enval assessing the current disposal solutions for materials used by Sonoco and Kraft Heinz during the production and use of flexible plastic packaging.At the end of the first phase, Enval will produce, with input from the other partners, a feasibility study that will include potential locations for future recycling plants that minimizes the fi- nancial and environmental costs associated with transport- ing the packaging for recycling. Enval’s technology is de- signed to be modular so that the economic viability of the process starts at a “small” scale and with low capex. Enval said it will continue the project by building these plants, which could initially target the treatment of scrap generated by Sonoco and Kraft Heinz, but with the idea of incorporating postconsumer material in the future.

WM Fourth Quarter Earnings Show Positive Momentum Waste Management Inc., Houston, announced financial re- sults for the fourth quarter of 2020 as well as the full year. The company’s fourth-quarter results continued the posi- tive momentum from the third quarter as organic revenue growth in the collection and disposal business was nearly flat year-over-year and improved 250 basis points sequential- ly and 890 basis points from the low in the second quarter. Additionally, the company maintained its focus on cost and capital management.As a result, fourth-quarter adjusted operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased 4.1 percent year over year when normalized to exclude the acquisition of Advanced Disposal as well as timing differences in the government approvals of alternative fuel tax credits. This growth was achieved despite macroeconomic challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the fourth quarter, revenue increased $185 million in the company’s collection and disposal business compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily driven by $202 million in acquisition revenue and $79 million of growth from yield partially offset by $93 million in volume declines. For the full year, revenue decreased $141 million in the company’s collection and disposal business compared with 2019, primarily driven by $669 million in volume declines partially offset by $299 million of growth from yield and $244 million in acquisition revenue. Casella Waste Systems Inc., Rutland, Vermont, has report- ed its financial results for the fourth quarter ending Dec. 31, 2020. For the quarter, revenues were $200.2 million, up $6.6 million, or up 3.4 percent, from the same period in 2019.The company credits this revenue growth to positive collection and disposal pricing, the roll-over impact from acquisitions, higher resource solutions volumes and high- er recycling commodity prices. However, these are partially offset by lower fuel surcharge and other fees along with lower solid waste volumes primarily due to the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Waste Connections Announces Q4 Results Waste Connections Inc.,Ontario,Canada,has announced its results for the fourth quarter of 2020 on February 17. Rev- enue in the fourth quarter totaled $1.398 billion, up from $1.362 billion in the year ago period. Operating income was $197.1 million,which included $24.1 million of impairments and other operating items primarily related to an adjustment to the carrying values of certain acquired long-lived assets and $5.3 million of acquisition-related costs.This compares to operating income of $194.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, which included $32.7 million of costs primarily result- ing from impairments and other operating items.
