tamination is high when compared to distribution centers and retail.” A baseline audit measuring OCC in the trash and recycling collection bins was conducted in early February 2019,followed by the distribution of communication materials in mid-Febru- ary,March and July.A final audit was conducted in July 2019. The multifamily dwellings consisted of an apartment building containing 200 rental units, and two condominium buildings of 160 and 60 units each. Key findings from the pilot include: • apartment building (No. 1 location) increased the OCC recovery rate from 46.3 percent to 89.9 percent; • condominium collection (No. 2 location) was already recovering OCC at the rate of 86.3 percent but was able to increase to 97.6 percent during the pilot program time frame; and • condominium collection (No. 3 location) encountered collection issues. However, some measurements were ob- tained and indicated a significant increase in OCC recycling at this location. Domtar Signs Agreement With Voith For Mill Conversion Domtar Corp. has signed an agreement with Voith to pro- vide equipment and technical services to convert the pa- per machine at its Kingsport, Tennessee, mill to produce recycled containerboard including high-performance light- weight packaging grades,as well as industry standard grades. In August, Domtar also signed an agreement with Voith to provide a complete recycled stock preparation system for the Kingsport Mill including water,sludge and reject handling systems which will maximize both efficiency and quality. The mill’s conversion is expected to be complete in 2022. Once complete, the Kingsport Mill will produce and mar- ket about 600,000 tons of recycled linerboard and corrugat- ed medium annually. That level of capacity will reportedly make Kingsport the second-largest recycled containerboard machine in North America.
