“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”

Study Shows Gap In Recycling Education by Greg Kishbaugh T he recently released 2021 Consumer Recycling Habits survey by the Paper and Packaging Board (P+PB), revealed that while 95 percent of Americans say they recycle (and only 25 percent of them recycle ‘some of the time’), fewer than half know the basics of recycling.

ISRI Portrays Recycling’s Reach The Institute of Scrap Recycling Indus- tries (ISRI) said the recycling industry in the United States now collects some 130 million metric tons of materials annually to be processed into commodities used in new products. Using the October 1 National Manufacturing Day designation as a peg, the association uses that annual volume statistic and others to recognize the recycling industry’s “contributions to American manufacturing.” Saving Energy In the United States, 70 percent of mate- rials processed by the recycling industry annually are used in American manufac- turing, according to ISRI. The association also cited energy sav- ings as a recycling benefit, saying that making paper and paperboard with recy- cled materials uses up to 68 percent less energy than using virgin materials. Using recycled plastics in manufacturing saves up to 88 percent of the energy needed to produce plastics from virgin materials, adds ISRI. On the metals side, ISRI said about 75 percent of the aluminum produced since commercial manufacturing of that metal began in the 1880s is “still in productive use as secondary raw material.”

P+PB, in collaboration with Kelton Global, surveyed 1,005 U.S. con- sumers aged 18-74 — from Gen Z to Baby Boomers — about their preferences, behaviors, knowledge and attitudes around recycling. “The survey results revealed that Americans are largely confused about the proper ways to recycle, including what materials are recy- clable (though they say paper is the easiest),” said Mary Anne Hansan, President of P+PB based in McLean,Va.“Our goal with this survey was to showcase how easy it is to recycle paper and paper-based packag- ing in order to help reduce waste and protect our planet.”

the University of Limerick.The collaborative research will focus on the application of technologies to the challenges of waste and recycling companies worldwide that need to fully automate the recording and resolution of exceptions recorded on collection rounds, such as contamination of collected recyclable materials and other service items such as blocked service access or overloaded containers. AMCS said the project will investigate the application of key-enabling technologies frequently used in smart man- ufacturing environments, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, camera vision and computer vision to automate these processes and minimize intervention by drivers and administration staff.According to AMCS, the ini- tial project is a two-year investment and will involve a team of Confirm Ph.D. researchers and academics collaborating with AMCS employees. Rumpke Acquires Landfill, Transfer Assets In Ohio RumpkeWaste & Recycling, ColerainTownship, Ohio, has signed agreements with Logan, Ohio-based Kilbarger Con- struction Inc. to acquire certain assets from the company and to assume operations of the Athens Hocking Reclama- tion Center Landfill located in Nelsonville, Ohio, and the Meigs County Transfer Station in Pomeroy, Ohio. Rumpke assumed operations July 16, and permits were transferred on September 27.The Athens Hocking Landfill first opened in 1983 and boasts more than 500 acres.

The Prince George’s County, Maryland, Department of the Environment (DoE) has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its material recovery facility (MRF) in Largo, Maryland, to display new equipment the DoE said will help process recy- clables “more cleanly and efficiently.” Among the equipment installed in Largo are three new Tomra optical sorting units, an additional elliptical sep- arator, a new permanent magnet, an eddy current separa- tor and a master control panel (MCC).The equipment for the project was supplied by Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, Norwalk, Connecticut. Also included is a new plastics sorting line with four 75-cubic-yard storage bunkers for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyeth- ylene (HDPE) natural, HDPE multicolored and polypro- pylene (PP) plastic scrap. The MRF opened its doors in October 1993 as a 65,000-square foot facility.The facility processed more than 70,000 tons of recyclables in 2020. AMCS, Confirm Agree To Research Waste, Recycling AMCS, a Limerick, Ireland-based global supplier of integrat- ed software and vehicle technology for the waste, recycling and resource industries, has started a collaborative research project with Confirm, the Science Foundation Ireland-fund- ed research center for smart manufacturing that is hosted by

Nestlé Commits To Flexible Packaging Recycling Nestlé Mexico has signed an agreement with Greenback Recycling Technologies and Enval to build a chemical recy- cling plant capable of processing flexible plastic packaging in Mexico.The plant will be designed to handle 6,000 met- ric tons of scrap its first full year and can be scaled up in later years, according to the three firms. The agreement, which Switzerland-based Nestlé calls its first outside of Europe, targets plastic packaging not com- monly recycled, including multilayer flexible and alumi- num-laminated plastics, and“aims to meet the technical and commercial requirements to ensure the circularity of food- grade plastics.” The plant will use microwave-induced pyrolysis technol- ogy developed by United Kingdom-based Enval. The pro- cess transforms plastics into oil feedstock to produce new plastic. The two companies call it “the only technology in the world capable of recycling plastic aluminum laminates by splitting them into high-value oil and aluminum with a low-carbon footprint.” Nestlé said it also will invest in the adaptation in Mexico of U.K.-based Greenback’s eco2Veritas circularity platform, designed to provide“complete traceability of the neutraliza- tion and recycling process.” JW Aluminum Plant Obtains GreenCircle Certification JWAluminum,headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, said its Russellville,Arkansas, aluminum rolled products facili- ty is the first to achieve GreenCircle Certified LLC’s Certified Environmental Facts multiattribute certification. Specific to the alloys currently produced at JW Aluminum’s Russellville plant, the Certified Environmental Facts labels from Royers- ford, Pennsylvania-based GreenCircle provide environmental data, including recycled content composition, carbon foot- print and energy reduction and waste diversion. Arbor Hills Energy Fined Over Clean Air Act violations A settlement has been reached between the U.S. Justice Department, the state of Michigan, the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) andArbor Hills Energy LLC over re- ported Clean Air Act violations at a SalemTownship landfill. Arbor Hills Energy has agreed to significantly reduce –if not virtually eliminate—its sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions at its landfill gas-to-energy facility to resolve the alleged violations. State and federal officials claimArbor Hills Energy had several CleanAirAct violations, including exceeding the facility’s per- mitted SO2 emissions limits.The facility converts landfill gas (LFG) into electricity by burning it in four gas turbines. Un- der the settlement,Arbor Hills Energy will either construct a renewable natural gas facility that converts LFG into pipeline quality natural gas and would virtually eliminate SO2 emis- sions or install a sulfur treatment system that achieves a 64 percent reduction in SO2 emissions by March 2023.

The association does not mention iron and steel scrap, but at an online ISRI session inApril, Benjamin Pickett, a general manager of public affairs and government relations at Char- lotte, North Carolina-based Nucor Corp., touted its benefits. Pickett compared a steel industry greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity level of around 1 in the U.S. that was less than half of that compared with the steel industry in China. Nucor, with its scrap-fed electric arc furnace (EAF) production, was emitting GHGs at half of the U.S. average, said Pickett. In its National Manufacturing Day press release, ISRI also says nearly 160,000 jobs in the U.S.“are directly supported by recycling and brokerage operations of the recycling in- dustry,” and those jobs pay an average of $77,000 in wages and benefits annually, says the group. LRS Acquires GFL’s Assets In Illinois, Minnesota LRS,headquartered in Morton Grove,Illinois,has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase assets from Ontario, Cana- da-based GFL Environmental Inc.The move expands LRS’reach across northern Illinois and northern Minnesota and expands the number of acquisitions LRS has made in 2021 to 13.

Recycling Education (Cont’d from Page 1) The survey was commissioned specifically to go beyond general recycling knowledge and to better understand consumer behaviors.This information will be used to help consumers understand how easy it is to recycle paper, com- pared to other materials that are harder to recycle such as plastic, glass or metal. “We are also leveraging the data as part of our ongoing efforts to encourage the creation of long-term recycling habits, working closely with a behavioral scientist and hab- its-forming expert to break down barriers for consumers,” said Hansan. Ecommerce Challenges The survey revealed that the increase in ecommerce poses an issue for recycling efforts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, ecommerce was up 32.4 percent in 2020 over 2019. “While 2020 was an anomaly in many ways, research indi- cates the significant shift to online purchases sped up the anticipated growth curve for ecommerce,” said Scott Light, chair and P+PB Executive Vice President, Packaging & Cel- lulose, Georgia-Pacific. Light said that the impact to recycling is multi-faceted. “While the collection of corrugated packaging for recy- cling has remained around 90 percent for the past several years, the fact remains that consumers are not as diligent in recycling paper packaging as are businesses who would otherwise pay to have the material sent to a landfill,” he said.“Therefore, there is an increase in recyclable packaging ending up in consumer’s trash because despite their good intent, they aren’t sure how to recycle. At the same time, more packaging arriving on their doorstep has heightened consumer’s push for more recyclable packaging. More than ever, this is the right time for companies to ensure their packaging is easy to recycle and consumers are taking sim- ple steps to empty their packaging, flatten it and recycle according to local guidelines.” Surprising Results According to Hansan, the most surprising result revealed by the survey was while 95 percent of Americans say they do recycle, only about a third of them do it regularly and fewer than half know the basics of recycling. “This was especially surprising to us considering how im- portant proper recycling is for the environment, but also because of how simple the basics of paper and box recy- cling are,” she says.“Choosing paper products is your best choice for reducing waste and protecting our planet. The natural cellulose fibers that make paper products can gen- erally be used to make new products up to seven times, especially when combined with some fresh fiber.” Hansan also said that education is the biggest issue for recycling. “It appears that education is one of the key problems around people not recycling. For example, over a quarter of Americans don’t know who to contact with recycling questions (27 percent),” she said. “Our data indicates that proper information around what and how to recycle poses

Baltimore To Modernize Recycling Collection Program The city of Baltimore, Maryland, plans to deliver 200,000 curbside recycling carts to residents in the city and to launch a recycling education campaign to inform the public about the new carts and what can and cannot be recycled. The city has received investments for these carts and the education campaign from The Recycling Partnership, the American Beverage Association and Closed Loop Partners. The project also received a plastic resin donation from Dow for the recycling carts, lidded rollout recycling carts manu- factured by Rehrig Pacific and support from the Baltimore Civic Fund. The more than $10 million project is estimated to increase recycling output per household by 80 percent and generate as much as 40 million pounds of new recyclables each year. The program will also help collect and recycle 30 million new pounds of plastic over 10 years, including 16 million pounds of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The public-private initiative includes a $3.6 million invest- ment fromThe Recycling Partnership, Falls Church,Virginia, as well as $1.65 million from the American Beverage Asso- ciation’s Every Bottle Back initiative.The recycling program also received a $3 million investment from NewYork-based Closed Loop Partners’ Infrastructure Fund, which finances projects that grow and strengthen recycling and circular economy infrastructure in the United States. This collaboration will help Baltimore provide free, larger recycling carts to 200,000 households to collect and process more recyclable materials, including beverage bottles and cans.The city said its transition to automated recycling col- lection enables safer and more efficient collection efforts. It also reduces manual labor, prevents injury to collection staff and ensures continuity of service during labor shortages. The city said the delivery of free recycling carts is one of the key recommendations in the city’s Less Waste, Better Baltimore Plan.The initiative identified options for improv- ing solid waste diversion, recycling and disposal. Waste Pro, Longwood, Florida, has completed five acquisi- tions and has been awarded five new municipal contracts/ franchises in four different states over the last three months. The activities include the management of two landfills— the C&D Riverside Landfill in southern Louisiana and the Pine Belt SWA MSW Landfill in Petal, Mississippi—as well as three transfer stations in east Mississippi. Additionally, the company acquired Coastal Disposal and Mr.Trash in Florida. It also has acquired the residential busi- ness of MaudlinWaste in Pickens County, Georgia, the com- mercial business of Metro Container in Commerce, Georgia, and the commercial business of RES Inc. in Marshall County, Mississippi. Newmunicipal contracts and franchises were entered into in Assumption Parish, Louisiana; Collier County, Florida; Mal- abar, Florida; Creola,Alabama; and Mount Vernon,Alabama.

the biggest hurdle to actually having consumers add recy- cling to their daily habits.According to our survey, almost 1 in 5 report they don’t recycle because they simply do not know what products can be recycled (18 percent) or their local recycling guidelines (18 percent).” Other highlights for the survey include: • Nearly 4 in 5 (78 percent) of Americans who don’t al- ways recycle confess they feel guilty about it. • While many Americans recognize the more common products that can be recycled, like plastic beverage bottles (81 percent), cardboard shipping boxes (78 percent) and glass bottles (75 percent), far fewer are aware that they can recycle milk cartons (64 percent), and only about 1 in 4 know that aerosol cans can be recycled (23 percent). • Nearly all (98 percent) parents plan on having their child learn about recycling. • According to nearly half of consumers, paper is the eas- iest to recycle (47 percent) compared to plastic (34 per- cent), metal (11 percent) or glass (9 percent). EPA Awards More Than $469,000 In SMM Funding The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has an- nounced $469,924 in funding for three Sustainable Mate- rials Management (SMM) projects in the Kansas City area. These projects include: Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, has been selected for $95,000 in funding to conduct a feasibility study for an organic material compost- ing facility, including a site evaluation, feedstock and pro- cessing technologies evaluation, concept design, and finan- cial evaluation. Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) has been selected for $174,924 in funding for a project to address food waste reduction in the nine-county Kansas City region through a Regional Food Waste Reduction Action Plan, food system mapping, and an educational campaign. Pollution Prevention Kansas State University Pollution Prevention Institute (PPI) has been selected for $200,000 in funding for a proj- ect in Johnson County, Kansas, that will work with industry and community partners to provide on-site technical assis- tance, identifying and documenting opportunities for food and solid-waste (packaging) source reduction, diversion and recycling. According to the EPA, SMM is a systemic approach to us- ing materials more productively and finding new opportu- nities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources, and reduce costs over a product’s life cycle. EPA said its SMM program supports efforts to help build community health by reducing the use, release and expo- sure to toxic chemicals; using life-cycle approaches to re- duce the health and environmental impacts of materials use; and employing upstream solutions that reduce the need for and cost of environmental cleanup and pollution management.
