“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
ISRI Launches Recycling Initiative
Sustainability Drives Consumer Buying Nearly half of Americans say they would never shop with a company again if they learned they weren’t being as sustainable as possible, according to new research conducted by The Recycling Partnership. Another one in three would even take to social media and voice support against those companies and encourage others to not shop with them anymore either. The survey showed recycling and bold action toward sustainability means a lot to the modern consumer. Willing To Pay According to the survey, the average American would even pay 26 percent more than retail price if it meant the product was completely sustainable. Seven in 10 Americans polled said they would go out of their way to support a company that makes strong efforts to be sustainable. Even more, eight in 10, say they be- lieve that in 10 years’ time, every prod- uct on the shelves should be 100 per- cent sustainable. The results showed sustainability is trend- ing up and becoming a higher priority for
by Greg Kishbaugh T he Institute of Scrap Recycling Industry (ISRI) has recently an- nounced an initiative to help end the ongoing confusion associ- ated in the marketplace with trying to determine which products are recyclable and which are not. ISRI is developing a recyclability protocol and certification system for paper-based packaging products entering into the recycling stream. Once the protocol is fully developed, ISRI
said it will be expanded to include other products made from recyclable commodities. “Under the current system, there is no standard to deter- mine a product’s recyclabil- ity from beginning to end, which is an obstacle for in- creasing packaging recycling rates,” said Robin Wiener, President of ISRI. “Products are labeled recyclable that are not, consumers are con- fused, and the residential re- cycling stream is weakened
by excessive amounts of products and materials that do not belong. Having one, universal determination for recyclability created by the recyclers that collect and process the material, in coordination with the mills that consume it, will be an enormous step forward in the evolution of recycling.” ISRI is working with a third-party consultant,Moore &Associates, to develop the protocol and certification, which will be phased in over the course of the next year. ISRI is currently undergoing a thorough review of existing certifica- tions and standards to aid in the integration of the protocol with any applicable programs.This will be followed by a survey of Material Re- covery Facilities (MRFs) nationwide to gain an inventory of packaging

Olympic Steel Opens Service Center In Georgia
Cleveland-based Olympic Steel Inc. has opened a new 120,000-square-foot metal processing facility, or service cen- ter, in Buford, Georgia. Steel service centers can generate steady and significant volumes of higher grade ferrous scrap. Olympic said the location in Buford, which is about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, expands its southeastern United States footprint, which also includes facilities in Hanceville, Alabama;Winder, Georgia; and Locust, North Carolina. The Buford facility will act as a flat-rolled steel fabrication hub, said Olympic. First-stage metal processing will be an- chored in the Winder facility, with metal distribution ema- nating from both theWinder and Hanceville locations. Pipe and tube laser fabrication and bending and welding will take place in Locust in the Southeast and at Olympic’s Chicago Tube & Iron location. Berry To Supply Recycled Packaging To Mondelez Berry Global Group Inc., a packaging producer based in Evansville, Indiana,will collaborate with its longtime custom- er, Mondelez International, to supply packaging containing recycled plastic for Philadelphia, a cream cheese brand. The package contains plastic material recovered using ad- vanced recycling technology from Berry’s partnership with SABIC, a global chemistry company based in Saudi Arabia.

Meridian Waste Opens New Virginia MRF
MeridianWaste,Charlotte,North Carolina, opened its Blue Ridge material recovery facility (MRF) in Christiansburg, Virginia, on June 1. The facility will process municipal solid waste, construc- tion and demolition material, yard waste,metal,wood, card- board, concrete and tires. To allow for the facility to be built,MeridianWaste merged two Virginia Department of Environmental Quality permits for existing MRFs Blue Ridge Disposal PBR 104 and Re- source Management Group PBR 565 into one permit and built the new facility under the requirements of the PBR 104 permit number. According to the company, the new facility allows for im- proved operational efficiencies and improved aesthetics. The construction project broke ground in April 2019 and took 13 months to complete; however, MeridianWaste was able to continue servicing its customers utilizing the preex- isting MRF building purchased from Christiansburg-based Curtis and Associates in May 2018. Before Meridian took over the site, it housed a salvage yard and disposal and re- cycling facility. The new MRF is housed in a metal 80- by 100-foot building with an elevated concrete tipping floor that allows for more efficient processing. NWRA Supports Bipartisan Legislation The National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) applauds House introduction of bipartisan legislation that would help provide relief to the waste and recycling in- dustry from potentially onerous customer bad debt.The bill would increase the Paycheck Protection Program’s (PPP) flexibility by including payments for waste and recycling collection services for purposes of calculating the eligible amount for forgiveness of indebtedness under a PPP loan. NWRA conceived the idea, drafted the legislative lan- guage and advised congressional offices on the need for relief from bad debt. NWRA also has conducted more than 100 teleconferences with congressional staff to urge sup- port and seek additional House members to sign on to the bill as co-sponsors, as well as attempt to gain support in the Senate. TAPPI To Host Women’s Summit The TAPPI Women in Industry (WIN) Division will host the 3rd Annual Women’s Summit, held for the first time ex- clusively through a virtual setting on Tuesday, June 30 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. It is a free event, but registration is required. TheWomen’s Summit will feature a Keynote presentation titled Keys to Effective Self-awareness for Women During a Crisis, followed by two breakout sessions (titles to be an- nounced) designed to start conversations and express ideas among an inclusive audience.

Van Dyk Offers Remote Testing
Van Dyk Recycling Solutions, Norwalk, Connecticut, has implemented remote testing at its Technology & Testing Center in Norwalk, helping companies comply with so- cial-distancing recommendations designed to thwart the spread of COVID-19. With air travel becoming less desirable for most,Van Dyk says it offers a way for customers to do research on poten- tial purchases for their material recovery facilities (MRFs) without putting themselves at risk.These tests can be par- ticularly useful because equipment upgrades may be under more scrutiny in light of financial constraints that may be af- fecting some companies and municipalities because of the virus.The“try before you buy”nature of these tests can help determine what upgrades will accomplish the desired result before committing to the investment, the company said. Tests involve Van Dyk’s fully operational sort line, which features screens, including an elliptical (ballistic separator), and multiple optical sorters for near-infrared (NIR) spec- trum testing. Customers are invited to send in samples of their mate- rial streams to receive comprehensive reports on the test results, along with video recordings of the trials.Testing re- search can help customers prepare their operations for an uncertain future, the company said. Tests can be scheduled by contacting Van Dyk Recycling Solutions at 203-967-1100 or at info@vdrs.com .

Recycling Contamination Up To 70% In Indianapolis Since late March, Republic Services has seen recycling contamination increase by as much as 41 percent in the In- dianapolis, Indiana area due to the coronavirus pandemic. Recycling contamination, or the presence of non-recycla- ble items in recycling bins, slows down operations at the recycling facility and can even lead to more waste. Facing the increases in waste and contamination seen in recent months, the City of Indianapolis and Republic Ser- vices are asking residents to remember recycling etiquette at a time when recycling facilities are already coping with social distancing measures for their front-line workers. Republic Services first noticed a shift in waste volume when schools started closing in mid-March, said Craig Lutz, area senior municipal sales manager for the company. Then when businesses, restaurants and bars closed for carry-out services only, the amount of residential waste in- creased by almost 30 percent, he said. And as all of this additional waste came in, he said, they noticed more and more of it wasn’t recyclable. Yard waste and takeout containers that weren’t recyclable were finding their way into Republic’s sorting lines. In some cases, people threw entire bags of trash in their recycling bins — a reaction, Lutz guesses, caused by people produc- ing so much trash that it didn’t fit in their normal trash bins. Recycling contamination levels are usually around 25 percent to 30 percent, Lutz said. But in the last couple of months, Republic saw loads coming in with contamination levels as high as 70 percent. To adapt, Republic temporarily suspended bulk and heavy items nationally, Lutz said, and slowed down their sorting lines while adding labor. Coupled with the fact that opera- tions were already being affected to comply with social dis- tancing standards — and the added cost of adding plexiglass barriers between workers’ stations — it’s been an expensive couple of months, Lutz said. FEAD: Funding Needed To Meet Recycling Targets The Brussels-based European Federation of Waste Man- agement and Environmental Services (FEAD) said the “am- bitious but achievable objectives” put forward by the Eu- ropean Union’s Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan will require the EU to“step up its investments in waste recycling and waste treatment capacity.” More recycling is key to achieve a circular economy and be successful in the fight against climate change by avoiding CO2 emissions and creating sustainable, innovative, local jobs, added FEAD. Concrete policy and economic instruments are necessary to achieve the circular economy objectives, and create a strong demand for recyclables, said FEAD. FEAD said its members are national waste management associations covering 19 EU member states, plus Norway. FEAD’s members represent more than 3,000 companies with activities in many waste management sectors.

ISRI Initiative (Cont’d from Page 1) that is recycled from the standpoint of materials and shape/ size as well as regional variances in technology and capaci- ty.With the data, the certification protocol, including testing methodologies and procedures and the application process for obtaining certification, will be developed. The process for obtaining certification by brands will be fully document- ed and transparent. “Once in place, the recyclability protocol will assist pack- aging manufacturers in understanding what is and what is not recyclable, especially in the design stage,” said Wiener. “This will lead to a revolution in design innovation as more brands seek ways to not only use recyclable content in pro- duction, but meet consumer demands for easy-to-recycle goods. As more products are developed with recycling in mind, consumers will rediscover recycling and the vast ben- efits it provides.” As part of this comprehensive undertaking, among the many things that will be taken into consideration are indus- try expertise on material supply, processing, and demand challenges and needs; ISRI’s Design for Recycling initiative, which encourages manufactures to factor in a product’s re- cyclability in the design stage; and the role of the ISRI Spec- ifications,which are used globally to buy and sell recyclable commodities. ISRI will consult with the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), the Foodservice Packaging In- stitute, The Recycling Partnership, and other stakeholders during the development of the protocol and certification. “This protocol is just the start of an effort that has the po- tential to really change the world,”concludedWiener.“Addi- tional customizable protocols can be developed for pack- aging made from other materials, including aluminum and other metals.When put together we can expand the ben- efits of recycling and see further reduction in greenhouse gases, improved environmental conservation, and an eco- nomic boost.We encourage all paper and packaging brands to join in these efforts to make it easier for all to recycle.” APR Recycling Demand Champion Companies Named The campaign that expands market demand for recycled resins and improves plastic recycling in North America announced new commitments during the June 2020 APR Member Meeting held virtually due to the COVID-19 health crisis. Developed by The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), The APR Recycling Demand Champions Campaign plays a prominent role in driving investment and increasing supply of PCR. Originally announced in October 2017 with 10 partici- pating companies, that number grew to 20 companies in 2018, and resulted in more than 30 million pounds of new demand for postconsumer resin (PCR).There are currently 40 participating companies that will report their impact in October 2020.The 7 companies below are the first, to date, that will report their impact in 2021. The new APR Recycling Demand Champions are: Fraser Plastics; Fusion Packaging; Intertape Polymer Group; rPlan- et Earth; Sabert; Silgan Dispensing; andWestfall Technik.

consumers — 79 percent say they are more conscious of sup- porting green and sustainable companies now than they were five years ago. More than three in four (78 percent) believe that business- es and corporations are simply not doing enough right now to be sustainable, leaving a big gap between consumer pref- erence and brand image. Eight in 10 Americans feel they recycle “as often as they should,” with 85 percent saying recycling is very important to them. But 81 percent of those polled are in agreement that together, we aren’t doing enough as a society to combat wastefulness. “The Recycling Partnership is proud to be a change agent and a leader in the movement to transform the U.S. recy- cling system,” said Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership.“Especially in the world we live in today and on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, we need change and we need it now – there’s no time to be timid.” Nearly half of those polled said they have even dug recy- clables out of trash cans to recycle them, with 48 percent saying they’ve actually stopped somebody from throwing something recyclable away. But while Americans are passionate about recycling and being sustainable, that doesn’t mean they are perfectly aware of how to recycle properly. One in 10 Americans said if they aren’t sure how to prop- erly recycle an item, they will more than likely throw it in the garbage. The average American will also throw away three items they know to be recyclable per week. But 78 percent say they feel guilty every time they do this. “Citizens play a critical role in reducing waste and improv- ing markets for recyclable materials by recycling properly,” Harrison said.“But they can’t do it alone. Companies need to commit to designing for recycling and bolstering the U.S. system so that we can see successful increases in recycling rates, together.A healthier U.S. recycling system is good for the economy and the planet.” Top five reasons Americans recycle • To make sure the world is inhabitable for future genera- tions: 56 percent • To make the world a better place for future generations: 51 percent • To preserve natural resources: 49 percent • To reduce carbon emissions: 47 percent • To minimize accumulation in landfills: 47 percent
