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.
