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.
