“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Domino’s, WestRock Tackle Recycling by Greg Kishbaugh D espite being an integral part of consumer lifestyle for many years, recycling is still rife with confusion and uncertainty in many ar- eas. Pizza boxes, for instance, have long thought to be non-recyclable due to the grease thought to contaminate the packaging. A new re- port, however, sheds new light on the subject.
ISRI To Update Scrap Specifications The Institute of Scrap Recycling Indus- tries (ISRI),Washington, has launched an initiative to update its scrap specifications to better meet the needs of the rapidly changing global marketplace for recycled commodities. ISRI’s Specifications Work- ing Group, chaired by Randy Goodman of Greenland (America) Inc., Roswell, Geor- gia, is leading the initiative. “Given the huge challenges and oppor- tunities facing the global recycling indus- try today, there has never been a greater need for a common language for promot- ing the buying and selling of recycled ma- terials,”Goodman said. Modernizing ISRI said the goals of the specifications initiative include modernizing and pro- moting uniform language across the recy- cled commodity specifications; ensuring the relevance of existing specifications and identifying the need for new speci- fications; expanding their acceptance and use by market participants and gov- ernments alike; and transforming the “ISRI Scrap Specifications Circular” into a searchable, customizable digital resource with significantly improved interactive features and guidance.
The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA),Washington, re- leased industry guidance that aims to clear up consumer confusion regarding the recyclability of pizza boxes.The guidance resulted from a study conducted by WestRock, a corrugated packaging company based in Atlanta, Georgia. According to WestRock’s study, 3 billion pizza boxes are placed on the market in the United States annually and are available to be re- cycled, equating to 600,000 tons of corrugated board. Pizza boxes represent 1.7 percent of the 35.9 million tons of all corrugated con- tainerboard produced in the United States annually. If all pizza boxes were recovered for recycling, they would rep- resent about 2.6 percent of the old corrugated containers (OCC) stream, or 2.2 percent of the OCC and mixed paper stream com- bined,WestRock stated.

U.S. Paperboard Markets Retain Strength In June
American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) reported containerboard production in June in the United States in- creased by 1 percent compared with June 2019. Container- board output has risen by 5 percent year-to-date compared with the first half of 2019. The domestic containerboard mill operating rate was 90.1 percent in June 2020, up 1.8 points from the June 2019 fig- ure and up 3.9 points year-to-date, the AF&PA said. Containerboard for export has played a role in the health of the sector, with exports increasing 5 percent in June 2020 compared with June 2019, and exports up 34 per- cent year-to-date. Boxboard output has not quite kept up with its 2019 pace, having decreased by 1 percent in June 2020 compared with June 2019, and likewise having dropped 1 percent year-on- year for the first half of 2020. The boxboard operating rate was nonetheless a healthy 93 percent in June 2020, up 1.1 points from June 2019 and up 0.9 points year-to-date. Printing and writing (P&W) paper remains in a down cycle, with shipments from U.S. mills down by 25 per- cent in June 2020 compared with June 2019. U.S. pur- chases of uncoated free sheet (UFS) papers in June 2020 decreased 28 percent compared to last June, and UFS ex- ports decreased by 44 percent in June compared with the month before.

ISRI Specifications (Cont’d from Page 1)
The“ISRI Scrap Specifications Circular”was updated most recently in May, following approval by the ISRI Board of Directors at its Winter Meeting, to incorporate new speci- fications for inbound residential single-stream and inbound residential dual-stream material.The purpose of these spec- ifications is to give material recovery facilities (MRFs) and municipalities a common vernacular to negotiate the items that comprise the material stream derived from a curbside collection program.The specifications describe not only the items that should be part of the system but also prohibitives and other materials that could be considered contaminants. In conjunction with ISRI’s commodity divisions, the Spec- ifications Working Group is conducting a comprehensive review of all existing ISRI specifications and guidelines as a key first step, to be followed by a request for proposals to up- grade the specifications digital interface on the ISRI website. Waste Management Releases Financial Report Waste Management Inc., Houston, announced financial re- sults for the second quarter of 2020.Revenues were $3.56 bil- lion compared with $3.95 billion for the same period in 2019. WM and Advanced Disposal also recently revised acquisi- tion terms along with an agreement to sell substantially all anticipated regulatory divestitures to GFL Environmental. Both transactions are expected to close by the end of the third quarter. Additionally,WM has recently entered into a supplemen- tal $3 billion revolving credit facility maturing July 27, 2021, to be used for general corporate purposes, including fund- ing a portion of the Advanced Disposal acquisition and refi- nancing. Highlights for Q2: • Revenue declined $331 million in collection and disposal. • Core price for Q2 was 1.3 percent compared with 4.2 percent in Q2 of 2019. • Q2 pricing results were muted relative to historical re- sults and the initial full-year expectations because of proac- tive customer-centric steps to temporarily suspend price increases and certain fees for customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. • Total company volumes declined 10.3 percent in Q2. •Volumes declined almost 11 percent in the commercial line of business, 16 percent in industrial and 18 percent in landfill, primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Interruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative revenue impact of approximately $400 million. Updated 2020 outlook: •Total revenue for 2020 is expected to decline between 4 percent and 5 percent compared with 2019. •WM expects adjusted operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin to be in the range of 28 percent to 28.5 percent. • Capital expenditures are projected to be between $1.55 and $1.65 billion. •WM expects to generate free cash flow approaching $2 billion, exclusive of transaction and advisory costs incurred for the acquisition of Advanced Disposal.

European Paper Recycling Rate Reaches 72% In 2019 The European paper recycling rate has maintained its high recycling numbers in 2019, increasing from 71.7 percent in 2018 to 72 percent, according to the European Paper Recy- cling Council (EPRC).The EPRC said this rate was achieved due to a stable utilisation of Paper for Recycling (PfR) in the European paper industry. The council said that a good signal toward more sustain- ability is the fact that the collection of Paper for Recycling was maintained at high levels in Europe despite a decrease in paper and board consumption in Europe. The sharp and continued decline in Chinese demand for European Paper for Recycling was balanced by increased demand from other countries such as Turkey and India.

Las Vegas Resort Announces New PPE Recycling Program The Venetian Resort has expanded Sands ECO360 recy- cling efforts as the first Las Vegas, Nevada-based property to develop a program to recycle surgical face masks, which are being used by guests and team members as part of the resort’s Venetian Clean initiatives. The Sands ECO360 global sustainability strategy is de- signed to help minimize environmental impact in building development and resort operations. As part of this pilot project, in partnership with Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, the discarded masks are col- lected on-site at The Venetian Resort and sent to a recycling facility where they are separated, shredded and densified into a crumb-like raw material.This material will be used to make repurposed products such as composite lumber for shipping pallets, railroad ties and composite decking,Terra- Cycle reports. Since reopening in June 2020,The Venetian Resort began diverting discarded surgical face masks from other waste being sent to landfills through a trash-sorting initiative on the property. In addition to this program, the resort actively sorts its trash, diverting 27 types of items that would otherwise be sent to landfills. According to TerraCycle, through this pro- gram, between 55-60 percent of waste is diverted from local landfills, a number that surpasses the national average of 32 percent, or the state average of 23 percent.

Buyer’s Guide BALERS (HORIZONTAL)
Visy Industries, a large recycling and packaging firm based in Melbourne, Australia, has entered into a definitive agree- ment to acquire the Australian and New Zealand glass man- ufacturing business of Owens-Illinois Inc. in a deal worth AU$1 billion (or about $715 million). Upon the close of the acquisition, Visy plans to employ 7,200 people in manufacturing jobs as a result. Pratt adds that Visy will bring a“sustainability culture” to O-I, aiming to increase the recycled content of glass bottles from one-third to two-thirds. O-I is the largest manufacturer of glass bottles and containers in Australia and New Zealand, with factories in Sidney, Melbourne, Brisbane,Adelaide and Auckland. Tuscaloosa Suspends Curbside Recycling Tuscaloosa, Alabama, has seen an increase in the amount of trash for curbside pickup in 2020, with nearly double the volume of trash collected in the last three months com- pared with this same time period in 2019.The city plans to transition some of its workers who had helped with curb- side recycling routes to assist on trash routes to address the increased volume in trash. The city reported that it is still keeping recycling drop-off sites open and free of charge while curbside recycling is sus- pended. Additional manned drop-off sites will also open at a different location each regular route day to help residents with recycling during the suspension. Republic Releases Sustainability Report Republic Services Inc., Phoenix, released its annual Sus- tainability Report on July 22.The report highlights the com- pany’s progress and achievements toward meeting its 2030 sustainability goals announced last year.

Pizza Box Recycling (Cont’d from Page 1) To evaluate the average grease level in pizza boxes re- ceived by recycling facilities,severalWestRock single-stream material recovery facilities (MRFs) pulled pizza boxes out of their incoming streams and took pictures of their interiors. WestRock reported that the general conclusion of the study was that the strength loss of the resulting product made with recovered fiber that incorporates postconsumer pizza boxes should be minimal at typical levels of grease expected to be received in a recycling facility and when included in the recovered fiber at expected levels of less than 3 percent furnish. “There is no significant technical reason to prohibit post- consumer pizza boxes from the recycle stream,” the report concluded. “Corrugated pizza boxes are successfully recycled every day at paper mills throughout the country, yet consumers remain confused by mixed messages suggesting that some boxes should not be put in the recycle bin,” said AF&PA President and CEO Heidi Brock.“So, let’s be clear: Pizza box- es are recyclable.” In a recent membershipwide survey, 93.6 percent of AF&- PA members that consume OCC report that they accept corrugated pizza boxes for recycling. The key, of course, to the success of increasing pizza box- es into the recycling steam is through education of consum- ers.With that in mind,pizza chain,Domino’s and its primary box supplier,WestRock, have launched recycling.dominos. com to share facts about pizza box recycling.The website is a hub of information on pizza box recycling, including instructions on how to recycle pizza boxes and a guide for what to do if a customer’s community does not accept piz- za boxes for recycling. A total of 73 percent of the U.S. population is estimated to have recycling programs available for pizza boxes, accord- ing to a Resource Recycling Systems access study commis- sioned by WestRock in fall 2019. While 27 percent of the population is served by programs with explicit acceptance of pizza boxes, 46 percent of the population has access to programs that imply, but don’t say specifically, that they ac- cept pizza boxes. The remainder are either unclear or say they cannot take pizza boxes. Additionally, Domino’s reports that it increased the recy- cled content in its pizza boxes from 40 percent to 72 per- cent this year.The pizza chain has also partnered with One Tree Planted to plant 50,000 trees across North America this year. Wastequip Opens New Equipment Service Facility Wastequip, Charlotte, North Carolina, has opened its first Wastequip WRX equipment service facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Wastequip WRX will provide parts, service and installation for a variety of Wastequip equipment, in- cluding for its Mountain Tarp and Pioneer tarping systems, Galbreath hoists, Amrep refuse trucks, and its Go To Parts OEM and aftermarket parts.

Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials’ Clear Biax- ially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film portfolio has been certified to comply with the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Critical Guidance Protocol for HDPE recycling.The Av- ery Dennison BOPP portfolio is reportedly the first to pass testing, and the company is committed to expanding the portfolio of film materials with pressure sensitive emulsion acrylic adhesives that meet the APR HDPE Critical Guidance moving forward. The announcement gives brands in the per- sonal care and beauty space, as well as other segments that useAvery Dennison clear BOPP films on high-density polyeth- ylene (HDPE) plastics, validation that the labels will separate cleanly from the substrate using standard recycling processes. The Recycling Partnership Funds “Every Bottle Back” The Recycling Partnership, Falls Church,Virginia, and the companies that support it will extend $520,000 to the city of Kenosha,Wisconsin, to help provide 96-gallon recycling collection carts for some 32,000 households. The consortium said Kenosha has been “selected for in- vestment under Every Bottle Back, a breakthrough initiative to improve the collection and recycling of plastic bottles.” The $520,000 will help more than 32,000 households convert from a plastic bag recycling system to 96-gallon, curbside recycling carts. Currently, Kenosha’s recyclable materials are sent to a ma- terial recovery facility (MRF) that does not accept bagged recyclables, resulting in unnecessary landfilling of scrap ma- terials including plastic bottles. Over the next 10 years, the change to the Kenosha program could yield 27,000 tons of new recyclables, including 1,050 tons of polyethylene tere- phthalate (PET) bottles. Launched in October 2019 by the American Beverage As- sociation (ABA), Every Bottle Back is an initiative to reduce the beverage industry’s plastic footprint. Study: PFAS Disposal Increases Contamination According to a study published in Chemosphere, scientists at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Washington, D.C., have concluded that burning, discarding and flushing waste containing the toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS all contribute to environmental contamination. The three standard practices for waste management out- lined in the review, such as landfilling,wastewater treatment and incineration, have been found to not effectively contain or destroy PFAS. “The three common ‘disposal’ options for getting rid of PFAS do not eliminate these contaminants but rather end up just returning either the same chemicals or their byproducts back into the environment,” said Tasha Stoiber, EWG senior scientist and primary author of the study, in a release.“PFAS disposal is really just another step in the contamination cycle.”

Michigan Communities Improve Residential Recycling More than 100 Michigan communities are joining state, regional and national partners to combat recycling contam- ination and improve the capture of high-quality recyclables across the state. Partnering with the Michigan Department of Environ- ment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) and The Recycling Partnership, a national nonprofit based in Falls Church,Vir- ginia, as well as material recovery facilities (MRFs), haulers and resource and solid waste management authorities, com- munities will develop and implement operational and edu- cational strategies to improve the quality of their recycling streams, leading to cleaner recycling practices and a reduc- tion in the amount of contaminated materials improperly going into recycling. According to The Recycling Partnership, in addition to building upon the success of Michigan’s national Know It Before You Throw It recycling education campaign, the communities will use the partnership’s “Feet on the Street” cart tagging program — an initiative focused on improving the quality of curbside recycling by providing residents per- sonalized and real-time education and feedback. The Recycling Partnership reports that more than 70 com- munities representing 18 different states have implemented elements of The Recycling Partnership’s “Feet on the Street” program. Some communities have seen as much as a 57 per- cent decrease of nonrecyclables in recycling and average a 27 percent increase in the overall capture of quality recyclables. According to The Recycling Partnership, Michigan’s recy- cling industry generates nearly 36,000 jobs statewide and an annual payroll of $2.6 billion.Achieving EGLE’s 45 percent recycling goal would support 138,000 new jobs in Michi- gan’s recycling industry and provide $9 billion in annual la- bor income and $33.8 billion in economic output according to a newly available study commissioned by EGLE.
