“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”

Fund Works To Advance Plastic Recycling by Greg Kishbaugh T hree plastics and material science companies — Dow, Lyondell- Basell and NOVA Chemicals — announced the establishment of the Closed Loop Circular Plastics Fund to invest in scalable recy- cling technologies, equipment upgrades and infrastructure solutions. The Fund, managed by Closed Loop Partners, and with an initial $25 million invest-

Waste-To-Energy Study Released

Waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities can of- fer significant environmental protection, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and play an important complementary role in recycling efforts, according to a new City College of NewYork report that reviewed the most up-to-date scientific studies of the industry. The report, titled The Scientific Truth aboutWaste-to-Energy by CCNY professor and chemical engineer Dr. Marco J. Castal- di, calls upon dozens of independent sci- entific reviews to offer a comprehensive assessment ofWTE’s influence on environ- mental sustainability and public health. Struggling With Waste The report was peer-reviewed by sub- ject matter experts at Columbia Universi- ty, University of Maryland, North Carolina State University, State University of New York-Stony Brook, and several internation- al and U.S.-based energy and resource management officials. “In recent years, it has become evi- dent that local policy makers struggling to manage daunting waste management challenges are doing so with outdated or erroneous information,” Castaldi said. “This report is an effort to provide offi- cials with a single source of reliable in-

ment, invites businesses across the plastics value chain to join in advancing the recovery and recycling of plastics in the

United States and Canada. The goal of the catalytic fund is to grow to deploy $100 million, through a combination of the Fund’s founding investors, addi- tional corporate investors and financial institutions, in order to attract addition- al capital beyond the Fund’s own commitments.At scale, the Fund’s investments aim to recy- cle more than 500 million pounds of plastic over the Fund’s lifespan.The Closed

Loop Circular Plastics Fund will invest in three strategic areas to in- crease the amount of recycled plastic available to meet the growing demand for high-quality, recycled content in products and packaging: Access — Increasing the collection of targeted polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics by advancing current and next-gen- eration material collection systems, including transportation, logistics and recycling sortation technologies and infrastructure. Optimization — Upgrading recycling systems to more efficiently aggregate, classify and sort the targeted plastics to increase the total

U.S. Chamber of Commerce Launches Plastics Initiative The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation announced a new initiative to help realize a more sustainable future for plastics. Funded by Brian Sheth and Adria Sheth’s Sangreal Foundation, the initiative will identify opportunities to re- duce the environmental footprint of plastics, while helping businesses make their plastics value chain more sustainable. “From surgical masks to single-use cups, plastics played a key role in our lives as we confronted the pandemic,” said Marc DeCourcey, Senior Vice President of the U.S. Cham- ber of Commerce Foundation.“Sustainable management of plastics will be critical to the next phase of COVID-19 re- covery, and as we work to create a thriving economy that is good for people and the planet.” Measures to reduce plastic demand include increased recycling, composting and reuse, but these systems take time to build. Investments in research and development (R&D), multi-sector collaboration, and education are need- ed to solve the plastics challenge. Achieving sustainability in plastics is multi-faceted, and solutions will require new thinking, bold approaches and deep collaborations with a diverse set of stakeholders, according to the initiative. To help address these issues, the U.S. Chamber Foundation hired a Sustainability Fellow supported by Sheth Sangreal Foundation,who will focus on researching innovations across the plastics value chain, from materials engineering and indus- trial design to consumer use and recycling infrastructure.

Minderoo Releases Plastics Pollution Report

A report released by the Minderoo Foundation, a philan- thropic organization based in Australia, highlights the scale of the plastic waste crisis. Called the Plastic Waste Makers Index , the report claims that 20 companies supported by a small group of financial backers are responsible for produc- ing more than 50 percent of single-use plastic that ends up as waste worldwide, though the plastics industry said the report is misleading. The 86-page report said that while 100 companies are behind 90 percent of global single-use plastic production, about 20 polymer producers accounted for more than half of all single-use plastic waste generated globally in 2019. Exxon Mobil and the Dow Chemical Co. topped the list, while China-based chemical company Sinopec followed. Together, the report said these companies contributed 16 percent of single-use plastic waste. According to the foundation, close to 60 percent of the commercial finance funding single-use production comes from 20 global banks, including Barclays, HSBC and Bank of America.A total of $30 billion in loans have gone to the sector since 2011. The foundation’s report found that more than 130 million metric tons of single-use plastic ended up as waste in 2019. About 19 percent of this waste, about 25 million metric tons, were littered. A 30 percent increase is projected in global throwaway plastic production over the next five years.The foundation said this production growth will lead to an extra 3 trillion items of plastic waste by 2025. As a result of the findings, the foundation calls for regula- tions requiring petrochemical companies to disclose their plastic waste footprint and commit to transitioning away from fossil fuels toward circular models of plastic produc- tion. It also calls for banks and investors to shift capital, investments and finance away from companies producing new fossil-fuel-based virgin plastic production to companies using recycled plastic feedstocks. However, the report has already drawn opposition from other plastics groups. The American Chemistry Council (ACC) called the report misleading, saying it undermines the role plastics play in lowering greenhouse gas emissions. TheACC claims that the Minderoo report leaves out plastic’s role in enabling innovations needed for sustainable infra- structure like solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and charging stations. Metso Outotec To Unveil E-Scrap Smelting Systems In June, Finland-based Metso Outotec Corp.will introduce what it calls a “comprehensive” electronic scrap solutions portfolio for the smelting and refining of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

NWRA Shows Support For EPA Emissions Guidelines The National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA) has voiced its support for new emissions guidelines pro- posed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Federal Plan for Municipal SolidWaste Landfills,which takes effect June 21, implements emissions guidelines and com- pliance times for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills.The federal plan includes identification of legal authority and mechanisms for implementation; inventory of designated facilities; emissions inventory; emission limits; compliance schedules; a process for the EPA or state review of design plans for site-specific gas collection and control systems; testing, monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping require- ments; and public hearing requirements. Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill that will limit the single-use plastic across the state.Washington’s SB 5022 bans the manufacture, sale and distribution of certain ex- panded polystyrene (EPS) products. This includes packing peanuts, foam plastic coolers and dinnerware, according to the bill. The bill also requires dining establishments to omit single-use plastic utensils, straws, cold-beverage cup lids and condiment packaging unless requested by customers. This applies to dine-in, takeout or delivery. Washington State Bans Polystyrene

formation that draws its conclusions from a wide range of research and has undergone rigorous vetting by subject mat- ter experts from diverse backgrounds and organizations.” According to recent figures from the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), the world currently has more trash than at any point in history—with the United States gener- ating nearly 300 million tons a year. Castaldi’s report notes the amount of waste to be landfilled can be reduced up to 90 percent when employingWTE. The report highlights key benefits of using waste-to-en- ergy technology, including significant reductions in GHG emissions, the industry’s compatibility with recycling and strong correlation with increased recycling in the United States, and a significant reduction in the vast U.S. land mass that is being consumed by landfills, which are a significant source of methane. It also includes peer-reviewed, scientific studies that showWTE facilities do not adversely affect hu- man health and that the highly regulated conversion process has a negligible impact on air quality compared to emissions from trucking and other traffic-related air pollution. PolyQuest Expands South Carolina Facility PolyQuest, Inc. (PQ), a distributor of PET resins and man- ufacturer of recycled PET resins, has expanded its facility in Darlington, South Carolina. Established in 2004, the Darlington facility has served as the company’s flagship distribution and recycling location. The facility also operates recycled plastic processing ca- pabilities to deliver sustainable raw material solutions to its customers in every end application for PET. The expan- sion will include the addition of four new buildings totaling 225,000 square feet, two new rail spurs, enhanced material handling capabilities, and new machinery to process incre- mental volume of recycled PET and other thermoplastics. Construction has already begun at the site with an antici- pated completion date of February 2022.“Once this expan- sion is complete our Darlington facility will have 525,000 square feet, the capacity to hold 38 rail cars, 160 million pounds of recycled plastic processing capacity, approxi- mately 100 employees, and over $50 million invested since 2004,” said Ryan Nettles,Vice President of Operations. U.S. Recycled 65.7% Of Consumed Paper In 2020 The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) an- nounced that 65.7 percent of paper consumed in the Unit- ed States was recycled in 2020, maintaining a recycling rate that has been consistently high for more than a decade. Since 2009,paper recycling has met or exceeded 63 percent — nearly double the rate the U.S.paper industry achieved in 1990. Meanwhile, U.S. mill consumption of old corrugated containers (OCC) reached a record level in 2020 of 22.8 million tons.The recycling rate for OCC was 88.8 percent, and the three-year average was 92.4 percent.

Plastics Fund (Cont’d from Page 1) amount of high-quality plastic, including food-grade and medical-grade plastic, sent for remanufacturing. Manufacturing — Investing in facilities and equipment that manufacture nished products, packaging or related goods using recycled content, including recycled PE and PP. Since its founding in 2014, Closed Loop Partners’ existing portfolio of more than 50 investments has diverted more than 4,600 million pounds of material from landfills and back into manufacturing supply chains.Building on this, the Closed Loop Circular Plastics Fund will invest in technol- ogies, companies and infrastructure projects that enhance the recovery and recycling of target materials including post-consumer and post-industrial PE and PP in the United States and Canada. The Fund will deploy a flexible mix of debt and equity fi- nancing and will also aim to stimulate mainstream co-invest- ments, including those from financial institutions, into circu- lar solutions for plastics to further accelerate impact at scale. “The plastic resin manufacturers that create value for their shareholders now and in the future will be the ones that ensure that 100 percent of their products are safely recycled or reused, and never discarded in a landfill or else- where in our ecosystem,” said Ron Gonen, Founder & CEO of Closed Loop Partners. The current supply of recycled plastics meets only 6 per- cent of demand for the most commonly used plastics in the United States and Canada. Systemic bottlenecks, mis- aligned incentives and policies, technological inefficiencies and outdated equipment across the plastics recovery sys- tem contribute to millions of tons of plastic going to waste in landfills and oceans, according to Closed Look Partners. Increasing the recovery and recirculation of plastics could help meet an addressable market for plastics with potential revenue opportunities of $120 billion in the United States and Canada alone.Within this, significant opportunity exists to bolster the recovery of PE and PP, based on these materi- als’ market desirability and expected production amounts, as well as their wide variety of applications across indus- tries, including healthcare and food and beverage. Domtar Acquired By Paper Excellence Richmond, British Columbia-based Paper Excellence is in the process of acquiring Fort Mill, South Carolina-based Domtar. Post acquisition, Paper Excellence will possess the pulp and paper mills operated by the former Catalyst Pa- per plus those belonging to Domtar.The all-cash transaction represents an enterprise value of approximately $3.0 bil- lion, said the firms.After the transaction closes, Paper Excel- lence said it intends to continue the operations of Domtar as a standalone business entity. While the former Catalyst mills owned by Paper Excel- lence are entirely in Canada, Domtar (which itself used to be based in Montreal) has made its most significant recent investment inTennessee,where it converted a former print- ing and writing mill into a containerboard mill.

Louisville Awarded Grants To Expand Recycling The Recycling Partnership along with the Southeast Re- cycling Development Council (SERDC), the Kentucky and American BeverageAssociations, and Unilever’s Love Beauty and Planet brand have awarded $1,071,000 in grants to Lou- isville, Kentucky, to increase the city’s collection of recycla- bles.The investments will fund 28,000 large, lidded, rolling recycling carts to residents in the Urban Services District who currently recycle with small bins. Louisville was reportedly selected to receive these grant awards because of its dedication to advancing recycling in the community.The grants will also fund education and outreach efforts that help residents learn how and what to recycle as well as the community’s new collection schedule. The expansion of Louisville’s collection system increas- es these households’ recycling container capacity by more than five times.This allows for recycling pick-up every other week — a more cost-effective approach to recycling pro- gram resiliency. The Partnership estimates the recycling transformation will yield an additional 3.5 million pounds of recycled content for local producers. This grant builds on The Recycling Partnership’s efforts to work with the private and public sector to address sus- tainability challenges in communities nationwide. In seven years, the Partnership has overseen the funding of more than 976,000 recycling carts in U.S. communities. The $721,000 grant fromThe Recycling Partnership was funded in part by the Kentucky Beverage Association in partnership with American Beverage’s Every Bottle Back initiative.The initiative works with leading environmental and sustainability organizations — World Wildlife Fund, Closed Loop Partners and The Recycling Partnership — to reduce the beverage industry’s plastic footprint by increas- ing the number of bottles that are collected and remade into new ones. The Partnership Recycling Resilience Fund, which was made possible in part by an initial donation from Unilever’s Love Beauty and Planet brand, is designed to help local re- cycling programs build resiliency after the challenges expe- rienced as a direct result of COVID-19.This fund allows the continuation of ongoing recycling operations or programs that would otherwise be significantly impacted or curtailed as a direct result of budget shortfalls and strains on resources. Michigan Waste Executive Charged For Illegal Dumping The owner of Flint, Michigan-based Oil Chem Inc. has been sentenced to 12 months of imprisonment for dump- ing millions of gallons of landfill liquid into nearby sewers. Robert J. Massey, Owner and President of the chemical company, had previously been accused by federal prosecu- tors in December of knowingly polluting Flint sewers with 47 million gallons of untreated landfill liquid coming from eight landfills. Massey pleased guilty to violating the Clean Water Act, a federal law meant to protect water quality, in January.

Nine Dragons Adds U.S. Recycled Fiber Capacity

Buyer’s Guide

ND Paper, the U.S. division of Chinese paper giant Nine Dragons, announced plans to install recycled fiber pulping capacity at its Old Town, Maine mill.The facility, which ND Paper purchased in 2018, has until now served as a 100 per- cent virgin fiber mill. The pulping line will produce roughly 200 metric tons per day of unbleached recycled pulp, which will equate to between 70,000 and 75,000 tons per year. “Using patent-pending, proprietary technology, the line will consume regionally sourced recovered paper, primarily old corrugated containers, as its primary feedstock; this in- cremental demand for scrap paper is anticipated to improve local recycling and ultimately reduce disposal alternatives like landfilling,” the company stated. The Old Town pulp line represents Nine Dragons’ latest move into the U.S. recycling sector.After serving as a major Chinese end market for U.S.material for years,Nine Dragons entered the U.S.with its 2018 purchase of the OldTown mill along with mills in Biron, Wisconsin; Rumford, Maine, and Fairmont,West Virginia. The Fairmont mill was already a recycled pulp mill prior to the purchase, but ND Paper has since added recycling capacity at the Rumford and Biron mills,both of which were previously 100 percent virgin mills.With the Old Town an- nouncement, all of ND Paper’s U.S. facilities either have plans to or are now consuming recovered fiber. The company’s current annual recycled fiber capacity in the United States totals 569,000 tons per year, which in- cludes 256,000 tons per year of recycled packaging capac- ity and 313,000 tons per year of recycled pulp production. Compology Announces Clean, Green City Grants Initiative Compology, a company devoted to sustainability through waste metering, announced its Clean and Green grants ini- tiative.The grants will be offered to 25 municipalities of any size throughout the United States and provide cities with Compology’s technology enabling them to reportedly take control of their landfill waste, improve recycling rates, lower carbon emissions, and save money. Decades of disinvestment in green technology leaves many recycling facilities unable to properly sort materials, divert- ing 30 percent of recyclable materials directly into landfills, according to the company. Compology’s smart camera and AI-powered waste metering technology mitigates this prob- lem ensuring containments are identified and removed pri- or to entering a recycling facility, stated the company. Compology will provide each grantee with up to ten of its military-grade smart cameras, which will be installed on commercial municipal waste and recycling dumpsters throughout the city. Using its secure artificial intelligence software, Compolo- gy will then provide each municipality with data to reduce unnecessary and costly waste pickups, enhance recycling rates, and highlight reduced carbon emissions.
