“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Plastic Bank Targets Ocean Plastic reported by Greg Kishbaugh P lastic Bank, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, said it has stopped 1 billion plastic bottles from entering the world’s oceans, which is the equivalent of more than 44 million pounds. In reaching this milestone, Plastic Bank worked in partnership with more than 17,000 individual collectors across Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia,
NWRA Fights Driver Shortage
The National Waste & Recycling Associ- ation (NWRA) joined other organizations in a letter to Congress urging support for the DRIVE-Safe Act (S.659, H.R.1475).The DRIVE-Safe Act is bipartisan legislation that aims to help address the driver short- age facing many industries, including waste and recycling. NWRA supported the DRIVE-Safe Act when it first was in- troduced in 2019. In the 116th Congress, the legislation received support from more than one-third of House and Senate members. New Regulations Although 49 states and the District of Columbia currently allow individuals un- der the age of 21 to obtain a CDL and op- erate in intrastate commerce, these same individuals are prohibited from driving a truck across state lines until they turn 21. The DRIVE-Safe Act would change this regulation through a two-step apprentice- ship program that creates a path for these drivers to enter the industry. In order to qualify, candidates must complete at least 400 hours of additional training—more than what is required for any other CDL holder in the nation. All qualified drivers who participate in the apprenticeship program established
Brazil and Egypt. In exchange for collected plastic, collectors receive premiums that help provide basic necessities, such as groceries, cook- ing fuel, school tuition and health insurance. The material collected in Plastic Bank’s closed-loop recycling eco- systems is transformed into recycled material that the company calls Social Plastic. Once processed, Social Plastic can be reintroduced into the global manufacturing supply chain to create new products and packaging materials. “Plastic waste entering our oceans is one of our greatest global chal- lenges,” said David Katz, founder and CEO of Plastic Bank.“At a time when the world is calling for greater responsibility, this significant

by the bill would only be allowed to drive trucks outfitted with the latest safety technology, including active braking collision mitigation systems, forward-facing event recording cameras, speed limiters set at 65 miles per hour or less and automatic or automatic manual transmissions. Professional drivers training within the program is also required to be accompanied by an experienced driver throughout the process. French Recycling Plant Fitted With Machinex Robotics Machinex of Plessisville, Quebec, has implemented three sorting robots at Bègles, near Bordeaux, in France. The ro- bots are part of modernization work on the single-stream material recovery facility (MRF) in the metropolitan area of Bordeaux Metropole. The company will install these robots in a plant owned by the Veolia Group, a waste management company based in France.Their installation is expected next year. Machinex said the three robots will handle different func- tions in the single-stream system.Two robots will perform the quality control of clear polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene/polypropylene by retrieving other recover- able and unwanted materials that may be present. In addi- tion, a third SamurAI will be placed on the rejects line to recover materials at this stage of the process.

milestone is evidence of our ability to make deliberate envi- ronmental, social and economic impact.The collection of 1 billion ocean-bound plastic bottles confirms we can reduce plastic waste while driving social progress through a circu- lar economy.” The Importance Of Partners Global partners including SC Johnson, Henkel, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Coty,HelloFresh, Lombard Odier,Advan- sa, Carton Pack, Grove Collaborative, Ocean Bottle, Cogni- tion Foundry, IBM,GoJek and PayMaya have helped support collection efforts. By championing the integration of Social Plastic back into the supply chain, Plastic Bank’s partners are supporting a regenerative plastics economy that is stop- ping ocean-bound plastic while improving the lives of col- lector communities, the company said. Plastic Bank has more than 320 active collection branches across Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia,Brazil and Egypt and is planning to expand into Cameroon andThailand this year. Portland Township Launches Recycling Campaign Portland Township in Michigan is teaming with the Mich- igan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE) and national nonprofit The Recycling Partnership (TRP) to introduce a first-of-its-kind community-wide proj- ect aimed at improving the quality of materials residents recycle in their drop-off program during 2021. Portland Township launched a drop-off recycling cam- paign this month with awareness and outreach activities to continue through the spring and summer across the community. Michigan’s recycling quality improvement efforts with The Recycling Partnership rolled out last fall and will con- tinue through the end of 2021. Portland Township is among more than 100 Michigan communities representing 300,000-plus households state- wide that requested funding support from EGLE totaling $800,000 in individual grants, including $2,484 to Portland Township. It’s a new effort by Portland Township to improve the quality of recycling in roll-off recycling containers by pro- viding its approximately 828 households with personalized and real-time recycling education and feedback. Report: Recycling Industry Boosted Economy In 2020 A study done by John Dunham and Associates for the Washington-based Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) finds that the U.S. recycling industry contributes $116 billion in economic output to the national economy, according to preliminary data released by ISRI April 22. The study also finds that the U.S. recycling industry is directly responsible for more than 159,000 jobs. Also, the industry supports 346,499 jobs are indirectly through sup- pliers and services.

ND Paper Plans New Recycled Pulp Operation
ND Paper, an Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois-based producer of pulp, paper and packaging, plans to launch a new recycled pulping operation at its division in OldTown,Maine, in com- memoration of Earth Day. ND Paper is the U.S. division of Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Ltd., a large containerboard producer in China and Asia with $10 billion of annual sales. The new production line will make about 200 metric tons of unbleached recycled pulp per day at full capacity.The Old Town mill plans to consume regionally sourced recovered paper,mostly old corrugated containers (OCC), as its prima- ry feedstock for the new recycled pulping operation. ND Paper said it expects to be at full capacity for both produc- tion and staffing of this line by the third quarter of the year. At full operation, the recycled pulping operation will support about 20 new jobs. ND Paper also plans to spend money locally and elsewhere in Maine on services such as fiber sourcing, operational and maintenance supplies and logistics. According to ND Paper, the Old Town mill began opera- tions in 1860 as a sawmill, moving into pulp products in 1882 as the Penobscot Chemical Fiber Co. After multiple ownership changes over the years, the facility was idled in October 2015. ND Paper purchased the shuttered mill in October 2018 and has since invested millions of dollars into its restart. In addition to unbleached recycled pulp, the mill produces unbleached softwood kraft pulp.

DS Smith Celebrates Operating Milestone
After what it calls “a pandemic-driven spike in e-com- merce and the spread of unrecyclable problem plastics,” United Kingdom-based DS Smith is marking the first an- niversary of the opening of its paper recycling plant in Reading, Pennsylvania. The company said it is operating a “circular economy tri- fecta” thanks to the combination of its year-old recycling plant, paper mill and packaging manufacturing facility, all within a few miles of each other in Reading. Essential Business “Having these three facilities in such close proximity enables us to reduce corrugated waste to local landfills with our 14-day box-to-box process, where we collect, re- cycle and convert old corrugated containers (OCC) into new, sustainable packing, ready for the supply chain,” says Giancarlo Maroto, DS Smith Managing Director of paper, forestry and recycling for North America.“The best part is we can recycle the cardboard and boxes seven to 10 times, contributing to the circular economy model of reduce, re- use and recycle.” The three Reading plants — deemed essential businesses — kept 300 jobs operating during the past year, processed 20,000 tons of fiber at the recycling facility and consumed nearly 240,000 tons of recovered fiber, mostly OCC, at its paper mill.

Six Arrested In Recycling Fraud Scheme
Buyer’s Guide BALERS (HORIZONTAL)
CalRecycle announced that California agents have arrest- ed six suspects and are searching for a seventh in connec- tion with a large-scale scheme to defraud the state’s bottle and can deposit program. The group is accused of illegally: • cashing in empty beverage containers smuggled from Las Vegas casinos; • filing fraudulent California Redemption Value (CRV) claims for nonexistent material; and • selling previously redeemed bottles and cans back into the system for re-redemption. The California Department of Justice’s Division of Law Enforcement, with technical assistance from CalRecycle, uncovered evidence of a multi-state recycling fraud ring over the course of a roughly four-month investigation. During that time, the suspects allegedly brought truck- loads of out-of-state empty beverage containers to storage facilities and recycling centers in Southern California to fraudulently redeem the CRV material. Since consumers outside California do not pay CRV deposits on beverage purchases, imported empty beverage containers are not eligible for CRV redemption. As part of the investigation, Department of Justice agents conducted searches at several Southern California facilities and seized more than $300,000 in cash from California recy- cling processor West Coast Waste Industries S.A. Inc.

Oklahoma Passes Legislation Expanding Plastics Recycling Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed legislation April 19 that provides a modernized regulatory framework for advanced recycling technology in the state.Known as SB 448, the goal of the new law is to reduce plastic waste, enhance opera- tional certainty and increase the adoption of advanced recy- cling technologies. The legislation expands existing waste management laws in the state to include an emphasis on plastics recycling. Oklahoma is the 11th state to pass advanced recycling leg- islation since 2017. It joins Florida,Wisconsin,Georgia, Iowa, Tennessee,Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia in recognizing that postuse plastics are not waste but a valu- able material for manufacturing. Legislative Support One of the bill’s main supporters is the Environmental Federation of Oklahoma (EFO), a nonprofit organization providing Oklahoma companies a voice in the formation of state and federal environmental policies. Officials believe that signing SB 448 into law moves Okla- homa closer to receiving economic and environmental ben- efits of advanced recycling manufacturing. For example, converting 25 percent of the recoverable plastics in the state into new products using advanced re- cycling, also known as chemical recycling, could generate nearly $152 million in estimated economic output annually, theACC said.Additionally, this law will help create new local demand for recycling programs and recycling centers that will turn postuse plastics currently destined for landfills into valuable new materials, according to the ACC. SB 448 helps move Oklahoma toward a circular economy, in which products are designed so that their lifecycle leads back to becoming raw material for new products.Advancing a circular economy will help bring about cleaner air and waterways, less pollution and waste and a healthier planet. Alpha Recycling Expands To Pennsylvania Bronx, New York-based Alpha Recycling Inc., which recy- cles catalytic converters and other scrap metals, has select- ed Pennsylvania for a new processing center.The new site in Stroudsburg Borough,Monroe County,will create 30 new, full-time jobs.

Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Saudi Investment Recycling Co. (SIRC), a subsidiary of Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), to help SIRC set up its first chemical recycling project to enable the use of recycled plastic feedstock. The MOU, signed at SABIC headquarters, also proposed a feasibility study on building a chemical recycling plant in Saudi Arabia to convert mixed plastics into pyrolysis oil. The PIF-owned SIRC aims to use mixed plastic scrap col- lected from a material recovery facility (MRF) to be used as feedstock to be converted into pyrolysis oil. SIRC will source, collect, sort and supply feedstock for the chemical recycling facility from municipal solid waste. Both SIRC and SABIC will assess a project feasibility study and the proposed collaboration as part of the MOU. Battery Resourcers Raises $20M Battery Resourcers, a vertically integrated lithium-ion bat- tery recycling and manufacturing company, has completed a $20 million Series B equity round with financing led by Orbia Ventures, the venture capital arm of the multination- al Orbia, and participation from other investors including At One Ventures,TDK Ventures,TRUMPF Venture, Doral En- ergy-Tech Ventures and Jaguar Land Rover’s InMotion Ven- tures. The financing supports the development of a com- mercial-scale processing facility with the annual capacity to process 10,000 tons of batteries, or the batteries from approximately 20,000 electric vehicles (EVs) per year. Battery Resourcers was founded in 2015 in Worcester, Massachusetts, as a spinout from the lab of professor Yan Wang at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Through the sup- port of the U.S.Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), Bat- tery Resourcers has developed the technology to convert mixed streams of lithium-ion batteries, regardless of their chemistry, to produce various nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)-based cathode active materials. Battery Resourcers processes a mixed stream of used lith- ium-ion batteries into finished, battery-ready cathode active materials. The company claims 97 percent metal recovery and says it can produce NMC-based cathode active materials with 35 percent reduction in cost, 32 percent reduction in emissions and 13 percent reduction in energy consumption compared with the production of virgin cathode.

US Aluminum Industry Makes Environmental Gains The Aluminum Association has released a report that shows positive environmental impact trendlines over the last 25 years for the U.S. aluminum industry.The U.S.Alumi- num Industry Sector Snapshot focuses on seven key envi- ronmental issue areas: air, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, land management, water, waste and aluminum scrap use. In nearly every area, the U.S. aluminum industry has reduced its impact significantly since the 1990s.These positive envi- ronmental trends are attributable to performance improve- ments and the transition from primary metal to significantly more recycled material. According to the report, the industry’s total air emissions reported to the EPA decreased by 65 percent from 1996 to 2019, while energy use dropped 55 percent from 1998 to 2018. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions declined by nearly 60 percent between 2005 and 2018.Additionally, U.S. man- ufacturers increased their use of aluminum scrap by more than 25 percent between 1993 and 2018. The association says aluminum produced in North Amer- ica is among the cleanest in the world because of a heavy reliance on renewable hydropower electricity generation. Over the past 40 years, the industry has cut the intensity of GHG emissions from primary production by more than half while doubling the amount of aluminum collected for recycling, the report noted. In addition to using inert anode technology to eliminate direct GHG emissions in primary production, firms also are working to increase aluminum recycling in manufacturing by entering into partnerships to recover and recycle alu- minum, the association noted.Aluminum recyclers have re- duced aluminum loss and solid waste generation using new technologies to extract more metal from dross and salt cake, residues of recycling processes. Later this year, the Aluminum Association plans to release a new life cycle assessment report (last updated in 2014) tracking the environmental impact of producing a unit of aluminum product in North America in several different markets.This is part of a suite of sustainability research and reporting the association produces on an ongoing basis in other markets, including packaging, automotive and build- ing and construction. Turkish Mill Buys Additional EAF Equipment Turkish steel producer Tosyali Demir Celik Sanayi A.S. has placed an order with United Kingdom-based Primet- als Technologies for a Quantum electric arc furnace (EAF) plant with some 2 million metric tons of annual capacity. According to Primetals, equipment sold also includes a twin vacuum-degassing plant with oxygen blowing and a two-strand slab caster for the flat steel greenfield project in Iskenderun,Turkey. The EAF Quantum is designed to handle metallic scrap and virgin materials such as hot briquetted iron (HBI) and pig iron in different composition and quality.
