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.
