Aluminum Policies Laid Out

The Aluminum Association, Arlington, Virginia, has released a series of policy documents that it says lays out priorities that support a strong U.S. aluminum in- dustry. In its Presidential Policy Brief: Recom- mendations for a Strong U.S.Aluminum Industry , the association includes several recommendations for the Biden admin- istration and Congress that it says would support a growing and vibrant U.S. alumi- num sector. An addendum to the indus- try’s AluminumAgenda released in 2019, the brief includes key policy goals in the areas of energy, environment, infrastruc- ture, recycling and trade. Infrastructure In remarks at an aluminum plant in Man- itowoc,Wisconsin,during the presidential election campaign, President Biden noted how aluminum is a key part of future in- frastructure development and in address- ing climate change, noting that American aluminum could be used for developing more wind and solar and hydroelectric power and in electric vehicles (EVs) in the federal fleet. The Aluminum Association says its brief further details how to make these ambi-

ports broad public support for passing legislation to reduce plastic, air and water pollution, improve recy- cling, and hold manufacturers

responsible for the packag- ing and end-of-life for their product. A large majority (73 percent) of voters sur- veyed support passing a law to improve recycling, and 62 percent of voters are more likely to support the proposal after hearing that it would force manufac- turers to take responsibility for their product packaging. “These findings are completely consistent with the multitude of other public opinion polls that have all shown the

same thing: the public is sick and tired of plastic pollution, and they want manufacturers to take responsibility for recycling the items that they make,” said Nick Lapis, Director of Advocacy at Californians Against Waste. “It’s time for policymakers and brands to get serious about reversing the out-of-control growth of wasteful packaging and disposable items.” Likewise, 67 percent of voters who want to improve recycling are more likely to support legislation if it would ensure that our recycla- bles are not being dumped overseas. “U.S. companies are smuggling waste plastic inside waste paper that we import, and, because we don’t have a good recycling system here, people often wind up burning the plastic,” said Prigi Arisandi,

Closed Loop Issues Reusable Packaging Systems Report The Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners released a report detailing ways forward for du- rable reusable packaging systems that reduce the need for single-use packaging. In the report, Bringing Reusable Packaging Systems to Life , Closed Loop Partners draw on insights from multiple reusable cup pilots conducted in partnership with the NextGen Consortium and IDEO, outlining key lessons learned and sharing a blueprint and open-source resource to encourage collaboration and the growth of reuse models. Closed Loop Partners convened the NextGen Consortium, with founding partners Starbucks and McDonald’s, among others, to address the world’s single-use food packaging waste by advancing the design, commercialization and recovery of packaging alternatives––starting with the hot and cold, to-go fiber cup system.Through the efforts of the NextGen Consortium, robust testing, funding and scaling of reusable cup models have been underway. Most recent- ly, the Consortium ran pilots with NextGen Cup Challenge winners, CupClub and Muuse, across clusters of local cafes in the City of San Francisco and City of Palo Alto, California. NextGen used a validated methodical approach to test and evaluate various reuse models.These include engaging diverse stakeholders, making sustainable material choices, selecting appropriate locations,choosing the right payment model and optimizing health and safety protocols.

Aluminum Policies (Cont’d from Page 1)

tions a reality through public policy: Energy . As a lightweight, durable and infinitely recycla- ble material, aluminum is part of a suite of solutions for 21st century energy challenges. Both Congress, the Biden administration and state governments have an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through research and investment on production, recycling and use of aluminum. Environment . Aluminum producers have voluntarily worked to reduce their environmental impact and to cut greenhouse gas emissions from North American prima- ry production by nearly half since 1991, work previously recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. Smart climate change policy should work to reduce emissions at home while avoiding jobs “leakage” to overseas countries with more lax environmental enforcement. Infrastructure . The U.S. aluminum industry strongly supports increased public and private infrastructure invest- ment and incentives for operational efficiencies and sus- tainable material choices.The aluminum industry has a role to play in policies around electric grid modernization, EV infrastructure, public transportation building construction and recycling infrastructure revitalization. Recycling .While the aluminum used for cars, buildings and similar industrial applications is typically recycled at rates exceeding 90 percent, aluminum used in consumer applications is recycled at far lower rates, which is bad for the economy and the environment. The Aluminum Associ- ation supports policies like a recycling infrastructure fund and well-designed container deposit programs, also known as bottle bills, to increase consumer recycling. Trade .The single biggest threat to U.S. aluminum remains unfairly subsidized overcapacity in China. Strong, targeted trade enforcement is vital to the U.S. aluminum industry’s ability to compete on a market-based, level playing field. The Aluminum Association supports renewed cooperation with traditional trading partners and allies to address this perennial issue. Last year, the Aluminum Association released economic data showing largely steady jobs and economic impact for the aluminum industry in the United States over the last decade. In total, the U.S. aluminum industry supports near- ly 660,000 total jobs (166,000 direct) and nearly $172 bil- lion in total economic output ($70 billion direct).Modeling through the third quarter of 2020 suggested that COVID-19 driven economic disruptions likely reduced jobs and out- put about 11 percent, according to the association.

Waste Recycling Plant Coming To Gary, Indiana

A new municipal waste recycling plant in Gary, Indiana, will begin construction in the spring. Jimmy Ventura, presi- dent and CEO of Maya Energy LLC, the company construct- ing the facility, said the proposed $40 million plant is ramp- ing up to open later this year. In 2018, the Indiana Department of Environmental Man- agement (IDEM) awarded an operating permit to Maya, de- spite objections from neighboring landowners, Steel City Charter school students and environmentalists. The contro- versy led to a defamation suit filed by Maya against the HEC that’s since been resolved. Recycled Materials Maya is leasing 35 acres through an agreement with the Little Calumet River Basin Commission, which owns the property. Dan Repay, Executive Director of the commis- sion, said Maya’s lease calls for a payment of $100,100 for the first 10 years. In a document submitted to IDEM, Maya said it intends to recycle municipal solid waste and construction and demoli- tion (C&D) debris including paper, plastic, cardboard, glass, wood, concrete, drywall and metals. Maya said it would not accept hazardous or medical waste. The recycled materials are expected to be sold to paper and packing manufactur- ers for re-use.

Machinex To Help Equip New UK MRF

Machinex has been selected as the preferred bidder by Coventry City Council in the United Kingdom to help equip what the Quebec, Canada-based firm is calling “the most ad- vanced material recycling facility (MRF) of its kind within the U.K., and potentially one of the most advanced MRFs around the world.” Infrastructure The system is being designed to sort up to 175,000 metric tons of mixed dry recyclables per year and is scheduled to be operational by the summer of 2023. The MRF will be operated by Sherbourne Recycling Ltd., which Machinex calls a wholly-owned local authority com- pany being established to manage the facility on behalf of eight partnering government councils from the surround- ing region. Machinex’s design uses 14 SamurAI sorting robots and 14 optical sorters (including 13 MACH Hyspec optical sorters). The company said the MRF will be “one of, if not the first, facility in the world that integrates, at this scale, artificial intelligence at the core of its system, allowing real-time in- terconnectivity between the main sorting equipment.” The system will be processing a throughput of 47.5 metric tons per hour of recyclables with an extremely minimized level of human labor, estimated at five people.

TULA Skincare Ramps Up Sustainability Focus

Buyer’s Guide BALERS (HORIZONTAL)

TULA Skincare, a clean clinical skincare brand powered by probiotics and superfoods, is increasing its commitment to sustainability with new partnerships alongside TerraCycle and Cloverly, in addition to the launch of biodegradable“Bal- ancing Act” Purifying & pH Balancing Toner Pads. Created to be environmentally friendly, TULA’s new Bal- ancing Act pad applicator is made from biodegradable bam- boo fibers that can be replaced with refill pods instead of an entirely new container. To further amplify sustainability efforts, TULA is also ex- panding recycling capabilities with a new national recycling program in partnership with international recycling leader, TerraCycle.Through the TULA Skincare Recycling Program, consumers can send in TULA Skincare jars, tubes and blis- ter packs. Once collected, the products will be cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products, such as park benches and picnic tables. For every shipment of TULA Skincare products sent to Ter- raCycle, participants will earn TerraCycle points, which can be redeemed as a donation to the non-profit, school or char- itable organization of their choice. Boeing Commits 100% Sustainable Fuels Boeing is setting a target to advance the long-term sustain- ability of commercial aviation, committing that its commer- cial airplanes are capable and certified to fly on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuels by 2030. Boeing has previously conducted successful test flights replacing petroleum jet fuel with 100 percent sustainable fuels to address the ur- gent challenge of climate change. According to the Air Transport Action Group, U.S. Depart- ment of Energy and several other scientific studies, sustain- able aviation fuels reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80 per- cent over the fuel’s life cycle with the potential to reach 100 percent in the future. Today, sustainable aviation fuels are mixed directly with conventional jet fuel up to a 50/50 blend — the maximum allowed under current fuel specifi- cations. In order to meet aviation’s commitment for reduc- ing carbon emissions by 50 percent from 2005 levels by 2050, airplanes need the capability to fly on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuels well before 2050. NWRA’s Ohio Chapter Joins Coalition To Stop COVID-19 The Ohio chapter of the National Waste & Recycling As- sociation (NWRA) joined the Stop the Spread Coalition, an initiative led by the Ohio Business Roundtable to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plastic Reduction (Cont’d from Page 1) Executive Director of ECOTON. “Developed countries should treat and recycle their own waste in their coun- tries. We demand the governments of exporting coun- tries clean up the piles of plastic scraps that are being dumped in our rivers and drinking water sources for more than five million people.” When asked about a particular law that has been proposed to manage product packaging, a majority (52 percent) of voters say they are more likely to support the law knowing that it will reduce the disproportionate negative impacts of pollution on low-income communities and communities of color.This shows that economic and racial justice is at the forefront of many voters’ minds.Voters also support laws to reduce related environmental concerns, such as air pollution (70 percent), which occurs at nearly every stage of the plas- tic life cycle—from fossil fuel extraction to manufacturing, distribution, and disposal, often via incineration or landfill. “For many of our environmental justice communities boarding the largest petrochemical corridor in the nation, the refining and production of plastics has significant im- pacts on our health and well-being,” said Juan Parras, Ex- ecutive Director of Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (T.E.J.A.S.). Voters also express serious concern about a recent study which found that fifteen million metric tons of plastic pol- lution enters the ocean every year. Seventy-six percent and 80 percent of voters, respectively, would like to see more legislation aimed at reducing plastic and water pollution. Additionally, 79 percent of those surveyed support passing laws to protect the ocean. “The equivalent of two garbage trucks’ worth of plastic is entering the ocean every minute, and that’s only going to increase with the projected growth in plastic produc- tion,” said Christy Leavitt, Oceana’s Plastics Campaign Di- rector.“Voters are clearly aware of the plastic pollution cri- sis threatening our blue planet and recognize it’s time for government action. If we want plastic to stop ending up in every corner of our environment, we need policies to reduce the production and use of this persistent pollutant.” UPM Raflatac Achieves APR Critical Guidance Recognition The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has rec- ognized UPM Raflatac’s PE and PP pressure sensitive la- bel materials with general purpose acrylic adhesive for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers as meeting or exceeding the most strict APR HDPE Critical Guidance criteria for recyclability. These white and clear PP and PE label materials combined with multi-purpose acrylic adhesives are part of UPM Raf- latac’s SmartCircle portfolio of labeling materials that enable recyclability of packaging and promote the circular economy. The Critical Guidance recognition means the label materials are proven to be compatible with standard HDPE container recycling practices.They are suitable for a variety of end uses, including food and home and personal care.

McDonald’s Rolls Out Food Trays Made From Wastes Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc., reportedly Latin America’s largest restaurant chain and the world’s largest independent McDonald’s franchisee, will substitute the plastic trays cur- rently used by its customers with trays made from a thermo- plastic composed from household waste. Since implementing its plastics reduction program in 2018, the Uruguay-based company said more than 1.3 tons of single-use plastic have been removed from its operation. The new trays represent the first step in the partnership betweenArcos Dorados and UBQ Materials Ltd. (UBQ), an Is- raeli company that has patented a technology that converts household waste into a biobased thermoplastic. Through this process, UBQ receives waste destined for landfills, in- cluding food leftovers, paper, cardboard and mixed plastics. This mixed material is converted into a single-composite thermoplastic material compatible with industry machinery and manufacturing standards. In the first phase of the partnership, 7,200 serving trays made with UBQ will be introduced in 30 McDonald’s restau- rants in 20 Brazilian state capitals, replacing old plastic trays. The initiative will be gradually extended to all McDonald’s restaurants throughout the country, with 11,000 additional trays already in production. Aside from the UBQ logo, Mc- Donald’s guests will see and feel no difference in the serv- ing tray, the company said. The new trays are produced by the Brazilian company Semaza Comércio de Plástico Ltda., in its plant in Santana de Parnaíba, in the Greater São Paulo region.The introduc- tion of trays made with UBQ will be gradually extended to additional restaurants in the company’s footprint, and the old plastic trays will be reused in other circular economy projects promoted by Arcos Dorados. Pan Era Group Invests In MAS Recycling Technology Pan Era Group, a North Jakarta, Indonesia-based recycler of polyethylene (PE) and a manufacturer of carrier bags and packaging supplies, has invested in a recycling line from Austria-based Maschinen und Angenbau Schulz GmbH, an extrusion technology company.The MAS extruding technol- ogy is distributed by Efactor3, which is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Efactor3 offers a variety of pre- shredding, shredding, granulating, conveying, separation, extrusion, continuous disc filtration and dry cleaning equip- ment, systems integration and installation services. Pan Era Group recycles postconsumer plastic scrap,which it then processes into film products.To date, more than 95 percent of the plastic bags produced and sold by Pan Era Group are made using at least 80 percent recycled material. Currently, Pan Era Group is working to build a new plas- tic recycling plant in Cikande, Indonesia. The new facility is projected to be one of the largest PE recycling plants in Southeast Asia. For the new plant, Pan Era Group has or- dered the MAS ES-compound extrusion line with an output of 1,000 kilograms of PE per hour.

Canada Plastics Pact Launches

Buyer’s Guide

The Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) has launched to end plas- tic waste and pollution.The Pact brings together key players to collectively work toward ambitious 2025 goals that they could never achieve on their own. More than 40 Partners have joined the Canada Plastics Pact, representing diverse parts of the plastics value chain, from leading brands to waste management companies, gov- ernment institutions, and NGOs. Because plastic packaging accounts for 47 percent of all plastic waste, it is the immedi- ate focus of the CPP’s collective efforts. The CPP will reportedly enable companies across the Canadian plastics value chain to collaborate and innovate. It will build on significant work that has already been un- derway to reduce plastics waste and will grow over time. Together, Partners will rethink the way they design, use, and reuse plastics, thereby charting a path toward a circular economy for plastic by 2025. The CPP is working toward four clear, actionable targets by 2025: • Define a list of plastic packaging that is to be designated as problematic or unnecessary and take measures to elimi- nate them; • Support efforts toward 100 percent of plastic packaging being designed to be reusable, recyclable or compostable; * Undertake ambitious actions to ensure that at least 50 percent of plastic packaging is effectively recycled or com- posted; • Ensure an average of at least 30 percent recycled con- tent across all plastic packaging (by weight). The immediate next step for the CPP to achieve its goals by 2025 is to develop a roadmap for action.To be fully trans- parent and ensure measurable action, a CPP progress report will be made publicly available each year. Environmental Office Solutions Joins Done With IT The Electronics Reuse and Recycling Alliance (TERRA), Nashville, Tennessee, has announced that Environmen- tal Office Solutions Inc.
