Sims Ltd. has acquired certain commercial and operating assets of Alumisource Corp., an aluminum processor and provider of furnace-ready products that is based in the Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania, area. Sims is paying an initial $22.5 mil- lion for the company with additional payments expected over the next three to five years using a predetermined ear- nout formula. Alumisource provides raw material inputs to the aluminum industry in the form of custom shredded and blended aluminum scrap. The company also supplies the steel industry with raw materials for artificial slag conditioners, deoxidation and desulphurization products. The net increase in Sims’ North American metal division’s nonferrous retail sales volumes is forecast to be approxi- mately 33,000 metric tons as a result of the purchase. Sims Metals’ nonferrous retail volumes were 140,000 metric tons in the 2020 fiscal year, according to Sims. Nordstrom, Beautycycle Expand Recycling Program In partnership with Beautycycle, Nordstrom has launched a beauty take back and recycling program in Canada, accept- ing all brands of beauty packaging. Each year, more than 120 billion units of plastic packag- ing are produced by the beauty industry, but less than nine percent gets recycled.That’s because many municipal recy- cling centers do not accept beauty materials and packaging, as they often contain a mix of materials that are not local- ly recyclable. Nordstrom and Beautycycle hope to change that and aim to take back 100 tons of hard-to-recycle beauty packaging by 2025 to ensure it gets recycled. Customers can now bring empty beauty products to any Nordstrom Canada store to be recycled. Beautycycle boxes will be available in the beauty department. Empty cosmetics, haircare or skincare packaging regard- less of brand or purchase location can be dropped off at Nordstrom’s locations. Carpet Industry To Pay $1.17M For Recycling Failures The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) announced that the Carpet Ameri- ca Recovery Effort (CARE) will pay the state of California $1,175,000 in penalties for its repeated failure from 2013 through 2016 to meet recycling and landfill diversion goals under California’s Carpet Product Stewardship Law.The set- tlement agreement follows a California Third District Court of Appeal ruling affirming administrative civil penalties against CARE, which is an organization that represents car- pet manufacturers. CalRecycle launched an initial enforcement action against CARE in March 2017, citing the group’s repeated failure to demonstrate continuous meaningful improvement in carpet recycling rates and other program goals.
