“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Recycling Partnership Targets Change by Greg Kishbaugh T he U.S. Plastics Pact, a consortium led by The Recycling Partner- ship and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) as part of the Ellen MacAr- thur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact Network,has released a national strategy to ensure all plastic packaging will be reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.
Plastic Recycling Faces Challenges The recycling industry faces ongoing challenges, according to a just-released survey sponsored by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), the Foundation for Plastic Recycling, and the American Chemistry Council (ACC). The report, which unveils data from 2019, marks the first year the major plas- tic categories have been reported togeth- er in one report. Recycling Recovery Most of the material recovered for recy- cling in the United States in 2019 was pur- chased by reclaimers in the United States or Canada (87.9 percent combined) with just 12.1 percent exported overseas.With- in the 12.1 percent of exports, bottle ex- ports rose slightly by 26 million pounds; non-bottle rigid exports stayed flat; and post-consumer film exports dipped by 28.5 million pounds. In 2019, a total of 5,094 million pounds of post-consumer plastic sourced in the United States was recovered for recycling. Post-consumer plastics in the study in- cluded bottles, non-bottle rigid plastics, film, and other plastic but not foam. In aggregate, recycling of bottles, non-bottle rigid plastic and film declined by 27 million pounds in 2019 or 0.5 per-
The strategy, titled,“Roadmap to 2025,” is supported by nearly 100 corporations, startups, research entities and nongovernmental organi- zations across the plastics packaging value chain, as well as by state and local governments. According to a news release from The Recy- cling Partnership, the strategy includes mandatory reporting and spe- cific time frames to realize targeted outcomes for a circular economy for plastics. “The current state of U.S. infrastructure coupled with the lack of incentives to utilize recycled content in plastic packaging have put immense strain on the value chain,” said Emily Tipaldo, Executive Di- rector of The U.S. Plastics Pact.“The roadmap is designed to help U.S. industry leaders act on the significant systemwide change needed to realize a circular economy for plastics by 2025.

cent. Compared to 2018, the largest increase in recycling in 2019 was among non-bottle rigid plastics (45.9 million pounds) and the largest drop in recycling was in PET bot- tles (39.3 million pounds). Declining Rates Although film plastic overall declined, there was an in- crease in film recovered for recycling from retail and ag- ricultural sources. Plastic bottles continued to make up the majority of the plastic recovered for recycling at 55.2 percent,with non-bottle rigids accounting for 25.3 percent, film 19.2 percent, and other plastic, excluding foam,making up the remainder at 0.3 percent. “Flat or declining recycling rates are a sign that the sys- tem needs support,” said Steve Alexander,APR’s President and CEO. “Declines in mature recycling streams, such as PET and HDPE bottles, make brand company commit- ments to increased recycled content even more challeng- ing. There are many opportunities to support continued growth in film and non-bottle rigid recycling as well as turn the course for bottles by focusing on what recyclers need to succeed as they are the engines of the circular economy. Our modes of commerce and consumption are changing and our system of recovering resources must change, too. Collection of quality material is essential for recyclers to produce quality feedstock at lower environ- mental and economic costs.”

“The time frame is short,” he continued, “and the work- load is immense, but if we choose to do nothing, the visions of a circular economy across the United States will give way to the status quo.” The U.S. Plastics Pact, which was formally launched in August 2020, developed the road map to ensure systemic change and accelerate progress toward four specific targets that address plastic scrap: • defining a list of packaging to be designated as problem- atic or unnecessary by 2021 and take measures to eliminate them by 2025; • ensuring 100 percent of plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025; • undertaking actions to effectively recycle or compost 50 percent of plastic packaging by 2025; and • ensuring the average recycled content or responsibly sourced bio-based content in plastic packaging is at 30 per- cent by 2025. In issuing “Roadmap to 2025,” the U.S. Plastics Pact and its signatories will approach each of these 2025 targets by supporting upstream innovation through an ecosystem of coordinated stakeholder initiatives. “To meaningfully address the plastic waste crisis in the United States, we must unite the critical stakeholders—in- dustry leaders, waste management systems and policymak- ers—under a cohesive action plan,” said Erin Simon, head of Plastic Waste and Business at World Wildlife Fund. “The roadmap will be the key for setting a national strategy that reaches our set targets and measures our progress in a con- sistent, transparent manner.” According toThe Recycling Partnership, the “Roadmap to 2025” follows precedents set by other pacts in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact Network, with hopes of bringing one unifying voice to plastic packaging guidelines, policy, education, labeling, access and infrastruc- ture. Unlike any other existing U.S. initiative, the U.S. Plas- tics Pact provides overarching leadership and accountabili- ty by aligning to develop a national strategy, advance shared goals and measure the strength of progress through annual reporting. Sonoco Expanding Recycling Of U.S. Paper Containers Sonoco is expanding recovery and recycling of scrap materials from the production of its EnviroCan paper con- tainers in the United States to be used as raw material at three of its uncoated recycled paperboard mills to produce new paperboard. Sonoco expects to divert from landfills approximately 3,300 tons of scrap materials annually from four of its U.S. paper container operations inWest Chicago, Illinois; Greenville,Wisconsin; Jackson,Tennessee; and Nor- walk, California.This material, which is projected to equal approximately 165 truckloads,will be sent to Sonoco paper mills in Menasha,Wisconsin; Newport,Tennessee; and City of Industry, California,where it will be used as raw material to produce 100 percent recycled paperboard,with up to 85 percent post-consumer fiber.

Consumers Remain Positive Toward Recycling The recycling industry has faced many challenges over the last few years, yet consumers are still overwhelmingly (95 percent) supportive of recycling.According to research commissioned by the Carton Council of North America, 74 percent think recycling is important and people should make it a priority. This represents a 13 percent increase from 2015 when 61 percent said they were supportive of recycling.An addition- al 21 percent said people should do what they can to try to recycle. Grain Of Salt While this presents a positive outlook, unfortunately what consumers report and what they actually recycle varies greatly. For example, the most recent average national recy- cling rate according to the EPA is just 34 percent. However, while the nation experiences an increased fo- cus on climate change and the environment, led by the new Administration, the timing has never been better to educate and motivate consumers to recycle. Fifty-eight percent of consumers said the circumstances of 2020 and the Pandemic have made them feel it’s more important now to recycle than before. Additionally, know- ing what products are created from the materials recycled overwhelmingly inspires consumers to recycle more (70 percent).

More Than 100 Companies Endorse EPR Approach The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a U.K.-based nonprofit that promotes the circular economy, released a statement advocating for extended producer responsibility (EPR) for the packaging industry. The statement was endorsed by more than 100 companies and associations. “As a group of businesses and stakeholders that are drawn from across the packaging value chain, we are calling for the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes for packaging,” the statement reads in part. “We recognize that EPR is a necessary part of the solution to create the circular economy for packaging we are aiming for. EPR schemes, through which all industry players that introduce packaging to the market provide funding dedi- cated to its collecting and processing after use, are the only proven and likely pathways to provide the required funding. Without such policies, packaging collection and recycling is unlikely to be meaningfully scaled, and tens of millions of [metric tons] of packaging will continue to end up in the environment every year. “To solve the packaging waste and pollution crisis, a comprehensive circular economy approach is required.We must: eliminate the packaging we don’t need; innovate to ensure all the packaging we do need is reusable, recycla- ble or compostable; and circulate all the packaging we use, keeping it in the economy and out of the environment.This circular economy approach would lead to significant eco- nomic, environmental and social benefits and contribute to addressing major global challenges, such as plastic pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss.” Along with the statement, the Ellen MacArthur Founda- tion committed to engage with governments, associations and other stakeholders advocating for the establishment of well-designed EPR policies and support implementing and improving EPR schemes locally. Companies endorsing the statement include Beiersdorf, Borealis, Berry Global, Da- none, Diageo, DS Smith, Ferrero, Friesland Campina, H&M, Henkel, Inditex, Indorama Ventures, L’Oréal, Mars, Mondi, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Pick n Pay, Reckitt, Schwarz Group, Tetra Pak,The Coca-Cola Co., Unilever,Veolia andWalmart. Casella Waste Systems, Inc., in partnership with Rudarpa, Inc. broke ground on a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) pro- cessing facility at its North Country Environmental Services (NCES) disposal facility in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The facility is designed to capture the landfill gas which is currently being flared and separate it into marketable gas- es, with primary emphasis on methane and carbon dioxide. Once processed, the RNG will be transported by truck for injection into existing pipeline facilities owned by Liberty Utilities.The emissions reduction from converting the land- fill gas into a transportation fuel is estimated to be 78,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, which is equiva- lent to taking more than 15,000 passenger cars off the road.

Pellenc Renews Emphasis On ‘Design For Recycling’ Stating“Design for Recycling is emerging as one of the key solutions” to boosting recycling rates, France-based equip- ment and technology provider Pellenc ST said it is creating a dedicated Design for Recycling unit in 2021. “Companies know that they need to rethink their manu- facturing processes to reduce their environmental impact,” the firm stated. “These issues have become a central con- cern in their new product design strategies, as well as in the eyes of consumers.” “To accelerate the development of the circular economy and further support those partners, Pellenc ST is innovat- ing and creating a dedicated Design for Recycling unit in 2021,” stated the company.“The role of that unit is to meet the specific needs of packaging producers.The team helps such producers develop test protocols and shares its busi- ness expertise through diagnostics and recommendations for improvements.” The Pellenc STTest Center will be available to“validate the ‘sortability’of [proposed] packaging in the real-life conditions of a material recovery facility (MRF),” stated the company. Brands Commit To Next Gen Solutions Twenty-nine new brands ranging from footwear, to food and beverage, to beauty brands, and fashion companies, have committed to Pack4Good and will eliminate forest fiber from their packaging while speeding the uptake of Next Gen Solutions for packaging made from things like agricultural residues instead. The Pack4Good initiative now comprises 156 brands, worth more than $78.5 billion in revenue. Eliminating Fiber Roughly three billion trees are cut down every year for paper packaging.That is 95 trees every second, more than 5,000 every minute, over eight million every day,many from the world’s most integral forests. That’s a massive number of trees going into packaging that is often thrown out in seconds, resulting in major impacts to climate, biodiversity, and human health. The Pack4Good initiative is the brainchild of internation- al environmental organization Canopy. The initiative, just more than eighteen months old, is geared to working with some of the largest industry players in the fashion, food and beverage, and beauty and care industries to save forests and speed the uptake of Next Gen Solutions that use agricultur- al residue to make paper packaging. Pack4Good partners are committed to ensuring that, by the end of 2022, all their packaging is: • Free of Ancient and Endangered Forests. • Designed to reduce material use. • Maximizing recycled and alternative Next Generation fibres (such as agricultural residues). • Using FSC-certified wood when virgin forest fibre con- tinues to be used.
