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.
