“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Mills, MRFs Experience High Job Demand by Hannah Zuckerman , ISRI A s the U.S. economy continues to reopen from the COVID-19 pan- demic, initial unemployment claims fell below 400,000 for the second time since pandemic lockdowns began.On June 24, the Labor Department reported initial unadjusted unemployment claims fell by 14,720 to 393,078 from 407,798 the week before. Claims reached their 2021 high of nearly 1.1 million for the week ending January 9, 2021.
NERC Reports On Recycled Paper Use The Northeast Recycling Council’s (NERC) has published its seventh and lat- est update to its Summary of Announced Increased Capacity to Use Recycled Pa- per report. This update reflects continu- ing progress to use more recycled paper in North America. Half of the projects are completed and others are moving toward their projected opening dates. Industry Expansion This update includes projects at 30 mills, 15 of which have been completed. The 15 completed projects include three new mills. When NERC first published this list in November, 2018, it included new capacity at 17 mills, of which three projects were completed. The list of additional recycled paper ca- pacity includes totally new paper mills, expansion of existing capacity at pa- per packaging mills and conversions of printed paper machines at existing mills to produce packaging paper (e.g. from newsprint to packaging).The list also in- cludes several mills that are now produc- ing recycled fiber pulp for export in ad- dition to making packaging paper. It also includes two unique new facilities.A mill designed to use food contaminated paper from commercial sources is now operat-
In May,the U.S.economy gen- erated 559,000 million new
nonfarm jobs, and the un- employment rate dropped to 5.8 percent from 6.1 percent in April. While new job growth is a good sign for the economy, the number didn’t reach ex- pectations. Seeing demand in the economy to warrant a large job gain, economists anticipated new job growth in May to be 671,000. For April, there were 266,000 nonfarm jobs, well be- hind the nearly 1 million jobs expected.“We
lost 22 to 23 million jobs between March and April of last year,” said Bret Biggers, ISRI’s Senior Economist. “Now we’re evening out, but there’s still around 9 million people unemployed and over 9 million job openings.” In the recycling industry, there are many open positions in materials recovery facilities (MRF), mills, and other locations. MRFs experience high turnover for their employees,mainly sorters,Biggers says, adding, “But it’s never been like this in recent memory. Sixteen months ago, these positions were filled.” Currently, mills are not experiencing the

Louisiana Law Supports Reduction Of Plastic
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards has signed SB 97 into law.This bipartisan legislation — which passed unani- mously —will modernize the State’s regulation of advanced recycling technology, a solution that helps reduce plastic waste. The law will reportedly help bolster local demand for recycling programs and centers, reduce the amount of plastic waste in Louisiana’s waterways and create new jobs within the state. It also paves the way for more investment in facilities that transform hard-to-recycle plastics into new high-value materials and products. Advanced recycling technologies enable recyclers to re- use hard-to-recycle materials that otherwise would go to waste, reducing the demand for new resources.When used in partnership with mechanical recycling, Louisiana will be better positioned to increase its recycling rate and contrib- ute to the U.S.national recycling goal of 50 percent by 2030. Louisiana is the 14th state to pass similar legislation in the United States since 2017.

Enzymatically Recycled Plastic Makes Debut
France-based Carbios has partnered with several glob- al consumer brands—L’Oréal, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and Suntory Beverage & Food Europe—to produce food-grade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles from enzymatical- ly recycled plastics. The brands have manufactured sample bottles based on Carbios’ enzymatic PET recycling technology for products, including Biotherm, Perrier, Pepsi Max and Orangina. Carbios has been researching and developing its technol- ogy for 10 years.The process supercharges an enzyme nat- urally occurring in compost that normally breaks down leaf membranes of dead plants. By adding the enzyme, Carbios said it has fine-tuned the technology and optimized the en- zyme to break down any kind of PET, regardless of color or complexity, into its building blocks, which can then be turned into like-new, virgin-quality plastic. L’Oréal, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo and Suntory Beverage & Food Europe along with their respective brands plan to work to scale the use of Carbios’ technology to help meet the global demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Additionally, Carbios says it plans to break ground on a demonstration plant in September before launching a 40,000-ton-capacity industrial facility by 2025. Carbios said it plans to license its technology to PET man- ufacturers worldwide, accelerating the global adoption of enzymatic recycling for all kinds of PET-based products.

ing. A facility designed to produce paper pulp and plastic pellets using beverage cartons and aseptic packages as its primary feedstock is not yet open. The majority of new capacity increases in this list are for mills producing linerboard and corrugated medium. They will use old corrugated containers (OCC),often called“card- board boxes”, as their feedstock. They are unlikely to use mixed paper, whether derived from residential or commer- cial recycling programs, unless their stock preparation sys- tem allows for its use.However,up to half of these mills plan to use mixed paper although it is likely to be a minor input. Several mills, however, plan to consume significant amounts of residential mixed paper (RMP) which is collected at curb- sides throughout the country. Two of those mills are now operating. Because the price for mixed paper tracks that of old corrugated containers, increased capacity and market value for old corrugated containers normally increases the price paid for residential mixed paper. Whether or not all of the new capacity is built depends on overall economic circumstances and demand for the final products.Announcement of a new mill does not guarantee it will be built. One planned conversion is now on hold. Total announced new capacity, if all projects are completed, will use more than 5 million TPY of new OCC and mixed paper. Every Bottle Back Invests $9.5M In Baltimore American Beverage, Washington, has selected the city of Baltimore to receive a recycling investment as part of its Every Bottle Back initiative in order to expand and improve recycling collection and infrastructure in the city.Collabora- tion on the initiative will involveThe Recycling Partnership, Closed Loop Partners, Dow Packing & Specialty Plastics, the Baltimore Civic Fund and Rehrig Pacific. The public-private partnership supports a $9.5 million project, consisting of $3 million total investment from The Recycling Partnership, which includes $1.65 million from the beverage industry, a plastic resin donation for recycling carts from Dow and lidded rollout carts manufactured by Rehrig Pacific, as well as a $3 million investment from Closed Loop Partners’ Infrastructure Fund. This collabo- ration will help Baltimore provide free recycling carts to 205,000 households to collect and process more recyclable materials, including beverage bottles and cans.As part of the effort, the city will launch a recycling education campaign to inform the community about the new carts and what can and cannot be recycled. The Recycling Partnership and Closed Loop Partners es- timate that providing Baltimore households with new re- cycling carts has the potential to generate about 40 million new pounds of all recyclables per year—an 80 percent in- crease of recyclables per household in Baltimore. The program will also help collect and recycle about 30 million new pounds of plastic over 10 years, including 16 million pounds of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

High Demand (Cont’d from Page 1) same labor shortage as MRFs. Biggers is aware of several MRFs reporting their operations are tight.“I talked to a sup- plier recently, and it’s trying to figure out how to supply pa- per to the manufacturers; the MRFs can’t produce enough,” he says.“Part of that is because MRFs currently don’t have the employees to sort, separate, and get things ready for shipping.” It’s evident that recyclable materials are coming in from consumers through online purchases that typically travel in corrugated/carton or paper/plastic envelopes, and using paper products either at home or the office. In May, the National Retail Federation (NRF) forecasted non-store and online sales to grow 18 percent to 23 percent for 2021, or $1.09 to $1.13 trillion. But for some reason it’s not reaching the next level.“The bottleneck may be at the MRFs,”Biggers noted. It’s possible that U.S. employment isn’t where it needs to be to continue the economy at its current growth. In June, the Federal Reserve Board raised its GDP projection for 2021 to 7.0 percent from 6.5 percent in March. However, its unemployment rate projection remained unchanged at 4.5 percent. “Would GDP be higher if employment would grow faster? A potential answer may lie in the Personal Con- sumption Expenditures (PCE) price index,” Biggers said.An indicator the Fed uses to set policy, PCE measures prices that people living in the United States, or those buying on their behalf, pay for goods and services. In May, the Federal Reserve Board increased their PCE estimate to 3.4 percent from 2.4 percent in their March estimate, which suggests demand is outpacing supply, Biggers said.“Hence, if supply were greater, inflation would decrease. If employment were up a faster rate, then supply would increase also, thereby adding a downward pressure on inflation.” Though unemployment was lower than projected, the good news is the number continues rising.“The number is going up; we’re not losing jobs, so it’s good overall,”Biggers said. SWANA Reports Decline In Fatal Incidents In 2021 The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), based in Silver Spring, Maryland, has reported a decrease in solid waste worker fatalities in the first half of 2021. Pre- liminary data collected by SWANA shows 50 percent fewer on-the-job deaths compared with the previous three years. The most common event leading to a worker’s death in 2021 is being struck by a waste vehicle or heavy equip- ment. Single-vehicle accidents that involve a waste collec- tion vehicle, which was the leading fatal event for workers in 2020, are down. Only one fatality this year was the result of a single-vehicle crash In addition to worker fatalities, SWANA also tracks events in which a member of the public is killed in a solid waste-re- lated incident.These fatal events for 2021 remain on average compared with previous years, with 43 deaths so far. Inci- dents of pedestrians being struck by collection vehicles are up significantly with 12 this year, compared with 13 in 2020.

The ANZPAC Plastics Pact (ANZPAC) launched in the Aus- tralia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands region, uniting busi- nesses,NGOs and governments behind a series of ambitious 2025 Targets to eliminate plastic waste. ANZPAC joins the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact Network, a globally aligned response to plastic waste and pollution that unites more than 550 member or- ganisations behind the shared vision of a circular economy for plastic, where it never becomes waste or pollution. By 2040, if countries fail to act, the volume of plastic on the market will double, the annual volume of plastic enter- ing the ocean will almost triple, and ocean plastic stocks will quadruple. The ambitious new cross-regional program will work to fundamentally transform the response to plas- tic by eliminating unneeded plastics, innovating to ensure that the plastics consumers do need are reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and circulating the plastic used, keeping it in the economy and out of the environment. TheANZPAC Plastics Pact represents the complete plastics supply chain, from leading brands, packaging manufacturers and retailers to resource recovery leaders, government insti- tutions, and NGOs. ANZPAC Members will work towards four clear, action- able targets by 2025: • Eliminate unnecessary and problematic plastic packag- ing through redesign, innovation and alternative (reuse) de- livery models. • 100 percent of plastic packaging to be reusable, recycla- ble or compostable packaging by 2025. • Increase plastic packaging collected and effectively recy- cled by 25 percent for each geography within the ANZPAC region. • Average of 25 percent recycled content in plastic pack- aging across the region. Plastipak Makes Investment In Spain 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.

ISRI Board Considers Changes To Specifications The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) board of directors plans to consider two new and one modified non- ferrous metal specifications along with proposed changes to the guidelines for paper stock contained in the ISRI Scrap Specifications Circular at its upcoming summer board meet- ing that will be held July 16 inWashington. The newly proposed nonferrous specifications are: Saint Nickel Bearing Scrap :Any nickel bearing alloy scrap that contains a minimum of 3 percent recovered nickel. Nickel content to be determined by recovery after buyer’s evaluation minus any nonconforming material or contami- nation. Balance of elements contained to be discussed be- tween buyer and seller. Material is to be free of any foreign material. Final material specifications to be determined be- tween buyer and seller. Reels Mixed NonferrousWheel Weights :To consist of non- ferrous wheel weights that are a minimum of 60 percent (overall) nonferrous and no more than 40 percent Iron (Fe). Anticipated nonferrous material may be both lead and zinc weights.To be free of foreign material. Final material specifi- cations to be determined between buyer and seller. Additionally, ISRI’s board will consider a proposed modifi- cation to the nonferrous specification for ropes lead wheel weights. The proposed specification states that ropes lead wheel weights would consist of lead wheel weights with or without iron clips, not to include scrap lead, lugs or plates unless specifically agreed to. They are also to be free of foreign material, and the final material specifications are to be determined between buyer and seller. The association’s board will also consider three proposed changes to its guidelines for paper stock. First, ISRI will con- sider a proposed change that would adjust the definition of outthrows to “all papers that will make the pack undesir- able and unsuitable for consumption as the grade specified.” Second, ISRI is considering a proposed change to adjust the definition of prohibitives to “will make the pack unaccept- able and unusable as the grades specified.” Finally, ISRI will consider adding new components to its guidelines Paper Stock Section to add a review date and a section or page showing when and what changes were made. Central Texas Refuse (CTR), a waste hauler based inAustin, Texas,has announced a long-term operating agreement with Balcones Resources Inc., anAustin-based environmental ser- vices company.
