“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Recycling Partnership Targets Change by Greg Kishbaugh T he Recycling Partnership has issued a report saying $17 billion in funding for the domestic residential recycling sector could in- crease the national recycling rate to nearly 70 percent. The report “calls for a $17 billion investment over five years, to com- pletely transform the U.S. residential recycling system, maximize its potential and make it as accessible to all households as trash service.” The Recycling Partnership said the funds should be applied to “prov- en recycling solutions” and would generate a significant economic benefit, beyond bolstering recycling availability.
AF&PA Issues Fiber Report
The American Forest & Paper Associ- ation (AF&PA) released the 61st Paper Industry Capacity and Fiber Consump- tion Report on May 20. According to the report, U.S. containerboard capacity ex- panded in 2020, continuing a decadelong trend and reaching a record high of 40.4 million tons. Tissue paper capacity has also shown an upward trend, increasing for the past five years. The report also shows that U.S.mill con- sumption of recovered fiber reached the second-highest level in the past decade. The increase was driven by mill con- sumption of corrugated, the largest grade of recovered fiber, reaching a high of 22.8 million tons in 2020. However, the report shows that over- all U.S. paper and paperboard capacity declined 1.6 percent in 2020, compared with the average decline of 1.1 percent per year since 2011. Boxboard was the only packaging grade to decline last year. However, survey re- sponses that formed the report indicate a slight rebound in 2021, according to the report. Newsprint and printing-writing papers decreased in 2020, with capacity for both grades declining in the past decade. The report states that this is because of the
“The system needs outlined in this report are quantifiable and achievable, but they will require collaboration from all parts of indus- try, all levels of government, policymakers, investors, and the public to bring them to fruition and maximize their potential,” the report said. In the report, the $17 billion is broken down by three one-time in- vestments and five annual investments. The Recycling Partnership calls for $4 billion in investment toward“equitable recycling for every U.S. household,” $3 billion toward “new or upgraded materials recov- ery facilities to support domestic manufacturing,” and $4 billion for “residential recycling solutions for film and flexible plastics.” An additional $1.2 billion annually for five years would be allocated for “education and outreach strategies to improve recycling behavior.” These investments would bring 169 million tons of recyclables into the U.S. collection system, according to the report, increasing the re- cycling rate from its current 32 percent figure to 68 percent.

continued decline from displacement by electronic com- munication. Some companies are repurposing machines that produced printing/writing papers to produce contain- erboard and packaging paper to increase profits. Survey responses indicate total paper and paperboard ca- pacity will remain flat, decreasing less than one-half of 1 percent in 2021.
Casella, Rudarpa Break Ground On New Facility
National Fiber Supply Company
Casella Waste Systems, Inc., in partnership with Rudar- pa, Inc. broke ground on a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) processing facility on May 19 at its North Country Environ- mental Services (NCES) disposal facility in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The facility is designed to capture the landfill gas which is currently being flared and separate it into marketable gases, with primary emphasis on methane and carbon dioxide. Once processed, the RNG will be transported by truck for injection into existing pipeline facilities owned by Liberty Utilities. The emissions reduction from con- verting the landfill gas into a transportation fuel is es- timated to be 78,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, which is equivalent to taking more than 15,000 passenger cars off the road.

In other news, The Recycling Partnership has convened a Pathway to Circularity Industry Council to assess what actions must take place to help the United States recycling system accept more packaging. Stakeholders from across the recycling industry have been calling for a transparent and inclusive process to as- sess packaging recyclability, according to The Recycling Partnership.The group said it is responding to that call with the Circularity Council, which engages 35 senior industry leaders representing various material types, brands, govern- ment, material recovery facilities (MRFs), nongovernmental organizations, retailers and trade associations. The Recy- cling Partnership said the group will address the missing and needed detriments for recyclability of packaging, initi- ating national engagement around solutions for packaging recyclability. Circular Path The Recycling Partnership said its Pathway to Circularity initiative defines five building blocks to help brands nav- igate current and future packaging and recycling system challenges. Those building blocks include: packaging fate, capture journey, design for circularity, package prevalence and MRF and community adoption. The Circularity Council recently aligned upon the first of several thresholds for determining a package’s recy- clability. The threshold the council aligned on is for the MRF capture rate, defined as the percentage of packaging or material that enters the MRF and is subsequently cap- tured in the correct bale or bunker to be sent to market. The Circularity Council determined that a new product’s packaging should not be considered recyclable unless the MRF capture rate is 90 percent. Stora Enso Partners With Vogue Scandinavia Stora Enso andVogue Scandinavia have formed a strategic partnership to replace plastics in magazine packaging.As a part of the partnership, Stora Enso will provide Vogue Scan- dinavia with sustainability and packaging design expertise. A renewable, carbon neutral eco-package concept will be available for the first issue of Vogue Scandinavia, to be pub- lished in August this year. In Vogue As a part of the partnership, Stora Enso will provideVogue Scandinavia with renewable magazine packaging, along with packaging design and automation services.The Vogue Scandinavia magazine packaging aims to be fully carbon neutral, with a renewable, low-carbon raw material and energy efficient production. The remaining emissions are offset by using the CarbonZero service by Stora Enso, in collaboration with compensation partner South Pole. Stora Enso will provide Vogue Scandinavia with advisory services for sustainable materials and cradle-to-grave life-cy- cle assessments. Stora Enso will also support Vogue Scandi- navia in transparent sustainability reporting. Recycling Partnership (Cont’d from Page 1)

Unilever To Launch Recyclable Toothpaste Tubes Unilever has announced it is to convert its entire global toothpaste portfolio to recyclable tubes by 2025. This comes on the heels of GSK’s announcement of launch- ing recyclable tubes for its Sensodyne andAquafresh brands. After four years of development, the recyclable tubes will be available later this year in two of Unilever’s biggest oral care markets: France and India. First launching in France with Signal, the new tubes will be rolled out across its biggest range, Integral 8, which rep- resents more than a third (35 percent) of Unilever’s tooth- paste portfolio in the country. Traditionally, most toothpaste tubes are made from a com- bination of plastic and aluminium, which gives the packag- ing its flexibility but also makes it difficult to recycle. Instead of aluminium, the new tubes will use a material made mostly of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Unilever said it will also be the thinnest plastic material available on the toothpaste market at 220-microns, which will reduce the amount of plastic needed for each tube. To encourage wider industry change, the innovation will be made available for other companies to adopt. The design has been approved by RecyClass, which sets the recyclability standard for Europe, as well as laborato- ries in Asia and North America. Meeting these requirements mean the new tubes can be recycled within standard HDPE recycling streams.

JPMorgan Chase Releases Carbon Reduction Targets JPMorgan Chase released comprehensive steps it is taking in its efforts to align its financing activities with the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. As part of its Paris-aligned fi- nancing commitment announced last fall, the firm has pub- lished 2030 carbon intensity targets for the Oil & Gas, Elec- tric Power andAuto Manufacturing sectors. JPMorgan Chase also released its new Carbon Compass methodology that de- scribes how the firm set its targets and how it will monitor progress over time. JPMorgan Chase first announced its Paris-aligned financ- ing commitment in October 2020, aiming to work with clients to drive near-term actions that help set a path for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.As part of this effort, JPMorgan Chase also created the Center for Carbon Transi- tion to engage with clients on sustainability-focused financ- ing, research and advisory solutions. More recently, the firm’s Commercial Banking business launched a Green Economy specialized industry team to support the development and growth of companies in Re- newable Energy, Efficiency Technology, Sustainable Finance, and Agriculture and Food Technology.To help clients access capital needed for innovation, JPMorgan Chase announced in April 2021 a target to finance and facilitate more than $2.5 trillion over 10 years, including $1 trillion for green ac- tivities - to advance long-term solutions that address climate change and contribute to sustainable development.

Metso Outotec To Unveil E-Scrap Smelting Systems In June, Finland-based Metso Outotec Corp.will introduce what it calls a “comprehensive” electronic scrap solutions portfolio for the smelting and refining of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The array of 11 processes and types of equipment “con- sists of Metso Outotec’s smelting, refining, hydrometallurgy and gas-cleaning technologies. Neste, Mitsui Chemicals, Toyota Tsusho Collaborate Neste, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. and Toyota Tsusho Corp. are joining forces to enable Japan’s first industrial-scale produc- tion of renewable plastics and chemicals from 100 percent bio-based hydrocarbons. In this collaboration, Mitsui Chemicals will use Neste R, 100 percent bio-based hydrocarbons produced by Neste, to replace a part of the fossil feedstock in the production of a variety of plastics and chemicals at its crackers within Osa- kaWorks during 2021. For this collaboration, Neste will produce its Neste RE feedstock entirely from renewable raw materials, such as bio-based waste and residue oils, without any fossil oil. Southside Recycling Files Lawsuit Against Chicago Chicago, Illinois-based Southside Recycling, which has constructed a scrap recycling facility on the city’s southeast side, has filed a federal lawsuit seeking a court order direct- ing the city of Chicago to issue a final permit to the com- pany.The lawsuit alleges that the city has wrongfully failed to issue the last permit needed for the facility to begin op- erating, despite acknowledging for months that Southside Recycling has satisfied all the requirements. The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) large recycling facility permit is the last step in a two-year zoning, rulemaking and state and municipal permitting process. In addition to court orders mandating issuance of the permit and barring the city from interfering with Southside Recy- cling’s lawful use of its property, the lawsuit requests dam- ages in excess of $100 million from the city. The company alleges that Southside Recycling and its par- ent company, Reserve Management Group (RMG) of Stow, Ohio, have met all Chicago’s requirements and guidelines and relied on a September 2019 written contract in which the city promised to “reasonably cooperate with RMG in achieving the efficient and expeditious transition” to the new location,“including reasonable assistance with the pro- cessing and review of license and permit applications.” According to Southside Recycling,RMG relied on the city’s promise in that agreement when it built a new $80 million facility on its 175-acre property located at 11600 S. Burley Ave. RMG also relied on the promises within the agreement with the city in late 2020 it permanently ceased operations at General Iron, its former facility on the city’s north side.

Plastipak, a global company involved in the design, manu- facture and recycling of plastic containers has announced a major investment in recycling at its manufacturing site in Toledo, Spain. The new recycling facility will convert PET flake into food-grade recycled PET (rPET) pellets suitable for direct use in new preforms, bottles and containers. The new facility will be co-located with the current pre- form and container manufacturing plant facilitating addi- tional carbon savings through the elimination of resin trans- port.The new recycling plant will produce 20,000 tons of food-grade pellet per year and will commence production in the summer of 2022. This will be Plastipak’s fifth global location producing re- cycled PET (rPET). With three long-established rPET facili- ties in Europe (France, Luxembourg and the United King- dom), Plastipak already produces more than 130,000 tons of recycled PET in Europe. Plastipak also operates a HDPE and PET recycling plant in the United States. Domtar Acquired By Paper Excellence Richmond, British Columbia-based Paper Excellence is in the process of acquiring Fort Mill, South Carolina-based Domtar. Post acquisition, Paper Excellence will possess the pulp and paper mills operated by the former Catalyst Paper plus those belonging to Domtar.The all-cash transaction rep- resents an enterprise value of approximately $3.0 billion, said the firms. After the transaction closes, Paper Excellence said it in- tends to continue the operations of Domtar as a standalone business entity. While the former Catalyst mills owned by Paper Excel- lence are entirely in Canada, Domtar (which itself used to be based in Montreal) has made its most significant recent investment inTennessee,where it converted a former print- ing and writing mill into a containerboard mill. An acquisition agreement has been unanimously approved by the Domtar board of directors.The transaction is expect- ed to close in the second half of 2021, subject to Domtar shareholder approval, receipt of the required regulatory ap- provals and other closing conditions. Michigan Waste Executive Charged For Illegal Dumping The owner of Flint, Michigan-based Oil Chem Inc. has been sentenced to 12 months of imprisonment for dump- ing millions of gallons of landfill liquid into nearby sewers. Robert J. Massey, Owner and President of the chemical company, had previously been accused by federal prosecu- tors in December of knowingly polluting Flint sewers with 47 million gallons of untreated landfill liquid coming from eight landfills. Massey pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Water Act, a federal law meant to protect water quality, in January.

ANZPAC Plastics Pact Launches
Buyer’s Guide
The ANZPAC Plastics Pact (ANZPAC) launched in the Aus- tralia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands region, uniting busi- nesses,NGOs and governments behind a series of ambitious 2025 Targets to eliminate plastic waste. ANZPAC joins the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact Network, a globally aligned response to plastic waste and pollution that unites more than 550 member or- ganisations behind the shared vision of a circular economy for plastic, where it never becomes waste or pollution. By 2040, if countries fail to act, the volume of plastic on the market will double, the annual volume of plastic enter- ing the ocean will almost triple, and ocean plastic stocks will quadruple. The new cross-regional program will work to fundamentally transform the response to plastic by elimi- nating unneeded plastics, innovating to ensure that the plas- tics consumers do need are reusable, recyclable, or com- postable, and circulating the plastic used, keeping it in the economy and out of the environment. The ANZPAC Plastics Pact represents the complete plas- tics supply chain, from leading brands, packaging manufac- turers and retailers to resource recovery leaders, govern- ment institutions, and NGOs. ANZPAC Members will work towards four clear, action- able targets by 2025: • Eliminate unnecessary and problematic plastic packag- ing through redesign, innovation and alternative (reuse) de- livery models. • 100 percent of plastic packaging to be reusable, recycla- ble or compostable packaging by 2025. • Increase plastic packaging collected and effectively re- cycled by 25 percent for each geography within the ANZ- PAC region. • Average of 25 percent recycled content in plastic pack- aging across the region. The immediate next steps for the ANZPAC program to achieve its 2025 goals is to develop a roadmap for action. Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill May 17 that will limit the single-use plastic across the state. Washing- ton’s SB 5022 bans the manufacture, sale and distribution of certain expanded polystyrene (EPS) products.This includes packing peanuts, foam plastic coolers and dinnerware, ac- cording to the bill. Single Use Ban The bill also requires dining establishments to omit sin- gle-use plastic utensils, straws, cold-beverage cup lids and condiment packaging unless requested by customers.This applies to dine-in, takeout or delivery. The passage of SB 5022 makes Washington the first state on the West Coast and seventh state overall to ban polysty- rene foam food containers.Washington is also the first state to ban foam plastic coolers.
