“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”
Consumer Recycling Engagement Grows by Greg Kishbaugh L eading up to America Recycles Day on November 15, Republic Services released the findings from a recent survey on how the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted consumers’ perspectives on recy- cling.

BIR Webinar Analyzes Recycling A webinar hosted by the BIR Interna- tional Environment Council (IEC) demon- strated once again the breadth of issues constantly appearing on the world re- cycling association’s radar. In particular, “many authorities now think the export of waste should be stopped and do not think about the consequences of that,”noted IEC Chairman Olivier François of Galloo in his introductory comments. If waste exports were halted, he added,“it would be a big disaster for all our activities”. It was in this context that BIR Trade & Environment Director Ross Bartley provided an update on the review of Annex IV of the United Nations Basel Convention governing transboundary movements of waste. Those engaged in this review process, he said, should be striving to create an amended Annex that was “future-proofed” but “undistorted”. Through its direct involvement in these discussions, BIR was aiming to ensure that “all physical/mechanical, chemical and biological recovery operations by which waste materials are reprocessed into products, materials and substances, whether for the original or other purpos- es,are recognized as ‘recycling’,”he stated. Among the specific issues command- ing the attention of BIR is differentiation

American AllWaste Acquires Aero Enterprises American AllWaste has acquired Austin,Texas-based Walk- er Aero Enterprises LLC and its affiliated companies, in- cluding JV Dirt & Loam, DaisyWorks and Sheridan Environ- mental.The acquisition of Walker Aero will allow AllWaste to divert waste from landfills and instead recycle, reuse or resell materials as compost. This both reduces company costs and is a more sustain- able approach. Walker Aero Co-Founder and President Phillip S. McCam- mon V will continue with AllWaste as General Manager of JV Dirt & Loam. Little Rock, Arkansas-based Revolution, a recycler of polyethylene film and a manufacturer of film products for the agricultural, industrial and commercial and consumer markets, will invest more than $20 million to expand its 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Port of Lit- tle Rock in Arkansas by 36,000 square feet. The new lines will be able to produce more than 40 mil- lion pounds (20,000 tons) of film products annually. This added capacity is specifically designed to manufacture film that incorporates high levels of postconsumer recycled plastic, according to the company. Revolution Expands Blown Film Capacity

their habits as it relates to sustainability.About 65 per- cent said the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call for them to make sustainable choices, especially as they relate to recycling. Among those surveyed, 75 percent recognized the impor- tance of recycling, but they also admitted that they don’t always do it.About 52 percent said they recycle most of the time — the biggest barrier was simply a lack of space in their home for an extra bin, which was reported by 30 per- cent of respondents, followed by a lack of understanding of what can and cannot be recycled (26 percent) and a belief Republic Services Survey (Cont’d from Page 1)

Study: Recycled PET Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions Choosing recycled PET rather than virgin PET may reduce a company’s greenhouse gas emissions up to 60 percent, reduce total energy use by 75 percent, and reduce process and transportation energy 40 percent, according to an up- dated study from the National Association for PET Container Resources, Charlotte, North Carolina. The study, Cradle-to-Resin Life Cycle Analysis of Polyeth- ylene Terephthalate Resin , compares the energy require- ments, solid waste generation, and environmental emissions involved in manufacturing virgin PET materials with those same factors associated with collecting, sorting, and repro- cessing recycled PET into clean, reusable resin. Injury Rate In Waste, Recycling Holds In 2019 The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its 2019 Employer-Reported Workplace Injuries and Illness report November 4.According to the report, private indus- try employers reported 2.8 million nonfatal workplace inju- ries and illnesses last year. The overall injury rate for the waste and recycling indus- try remained steady at 4.2.The injury rate at material recov- ery facilities (MRFs) fell sharply from 4.9 to 3.6.The injury rate for solid waste collection fell slightly from 5.9 to 5.8. The rate for landfills ticked up to 4.9 from 3.9.

PureCycle Technologies Raises $250M In Bonds
PureCycle Technologies LLC, Orlando, Florida, has com- pleted the bond financing required to build its commer- cial-scale recycling plant in Ironton, Ohio.The company se- cured about $250 million in bonds for the facility. As a result of the financing, PureCycle reports that it can begin construction on its phase-two industrial line in Iron- ton. Once construction is completed, the Ironton plant will be able to produce more than 105 million pounds of recy- cled polypropylene (PP) per year. In 2019, PureCycle completed phase one of this project, the feedstock evaluation unit,which Mike Otworth, PureCy- cle CEO, said was a smaller version of what it hopes to build with the commercial-scale plant. The feedstock evaluation unit, which is also at the Ironton site, was able to purify carpet scrap, transforming it into clear, odorless ultra-pure recycled PP, the company said.

CarbonLite’s Pennsylvania Facility Starts Up Los Angeles, California-based CarbonLite Holdings LLC has begun production at its Reading, Pennsylvania, plant, which it describes as “the largest stand-alone bottle-to-bottle recy- cling facility in the world.”This is the company’s third plant, which it said will process 140 million pounds of postcon- sumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET),which is the equiv- alent of 2.5 billion bottles, producing 90 million pounds of food-grade rPET pellets annually. The $80 million, 270,000-square-foot Reading plant, about 30 miles from Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the eastern part of the state, is outfitted with robotics technology that is sup- plied by Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), Eugene, Oregon.The plant’s four robots will be used to remove non-PET resins from the incoming material stream. The bottle sorting sys- tem also features NRT optical sorters supplied by BHS. This is the second CarbonLite facility to feature sorting technology supplied by BHS, says CarbonLite CEO Leon Far- ahnik, but it is the first one to incorporate robotics. Carbon- Lite’s Dallas plant also features a front-end system from BHS. In addition to the optical sorters manufactured by NRT, a BHS company, that are deployed on the front-end of the sys- tem, CarbonLite uses flake sorters manufactured by Tomra Sorting Recycling, headquartered in Germany, on the back end of the system. The plant’s wash line was supplied by Italy-based Sorema. CarbonLite’s California plant also features a Sorema wash line.

Frost & Sullivan Shares Key Waste Recycling Development In a year dominated by COVID-19, which has generated high amounts of discarded single-use materials and disrupt- ed material values, health and safety in recycling processing, Frost & Sullivan’s Sustainability team finds refocusing stake- holder efforts to improve market competitiveness is central to its future growth success. The U.S. EPA’s National Recycling Strategy draft, released in October,outlines objectives focused on reducing contam- ination in the recycling stream, increasing processing effi- ciency and improving markets. The three areas of development in waste recycling that show particular promise include: 1. Waste to methanol : Enerkem, based in Canada, produces ethanol, biomethanol, and renewable chemicals from non-re- cyclable and non-compostable waste. It is partnering with the Port of Rotterdam,AkzoNobel andAir Liquide to develop a fa- cility capable of converting 350,000 tons of waste, including plastic, into 270 million liters of methanol a year. 2. Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and drones : Sensors attached to garbage bins and dumpsters measure waste levels and send data to schedule timely collection. Sensors can read, collect, and transmit data on volume and content type to optimize collection and disposal by leveraging ma- chine-learning capabilities. Drones add aerial monitoring to gauge the level of gases, especially poisonous ones, which escape landfills to ensure site operators are alerted and mit- igation efforts are undertaken. 3. Landfill diversion, zero landfill targets, and waste to energy (W2E) : W2E is classified as a renewable energy source. It is leveraged worldwide to convert waste materials into energy, which diverts the volumes away from landfills. China is a global leader in W2E and generated roughly 6.8 GW of energy from waste by the end of 2017. Associations Search For Causes Of Recycling Fires The Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF), in partnership with the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), the NationalWaste & RecyclingAssociation (NWRA) and the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), has requested responses from industry partici- pants to a survey aiming to understand the frequency and causes of fires at scrap facilities, materials recovery facilities (MRFs) and other facilities. Currently, EREF has received more than 250 responses from a number of companies, including responses from top waste management companies. EREF said it hopes to dou- ble this response by December 31 and encourages company representatives who have not participated in this effort to contribute data. Although the association is seeking addi- tional feedback, preliminary findings of this study indicate: • Sixty-eight percent of facilities that responded experi- enced at least one fire within the past year. • Ninety-seven percent of respondents have a fire plan and offer training for employees.

between interim and non-interim operations.“There could be a massive problem if the wrong judgements are made,” warned Mr Bartley. Using the example of the direct re-roll- ing of metal recovered from ship dismantling, he made the general point:“Most recycling is done mechanically.” An urgent call for information from plastic recyclers was made by Bartley because of the new Basel Convention plas- tic waste listings coming into force at the start of next year. Companies were asked to provide him with specifications and standards of plastic wastes that may explain phrases such as “almost free from contamination and other types of wastes” and “almost exclusively” of a particular polymer. Also, information on sampling methods was requested, as well as photos of plastic waste, including as collected: PE, PP, PS,ABS, PET, PC, polyethers, FEP, PFA,MFA, PVF and PVDF; resins; and mixtures of only PE, PP and PET. The webinar also featured an update on the EU’s revision of its Waste Shipment Regulations, for which a new propos- al is scheduled to emerge in the spring of 2021. Its three main objectives are to: streamline the functioning of the EU’s internal market; restrict exports of EU waste and guar- antee any such shipments are managed in an environmen- tally sound manner; and to improve the prevention of illegal shipments of waste. Julia Blees, Senior Policy Officer at the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation (EuRIC), argued that greater use of fast-track notifications would help toward achieving the first of these aims.There was also a need, she said, for regu- lations to distinguish between unprocessed and processed wastes, adding that access to global markets was “crucial” for the latter. She also called for a distinction to be made be- tween shipment transgressions that were simply the result of an administrative error and “unlawful criminal offenses committed intentionally or with serious negligence”. Fellow guest speaker Jordi Costa, Technical Secretary at Gremi de Recuperació de Catalunya, outlined his organiza- tion’s development of a packaging recyclability certificate based on an evaluation of everything from residues in ma- terial arriving at processors’ installations and the availability of local collection services to the market value of the final recyclate. Under the scheme, packaging can be awarded a recyclability percentage and/or a star rating, with five stars representing recyclability above 85 percent and one star de- noting 20-45 percent. According to Costa, the aim had been to devise a “reliable” and“robust”system in which consumers had confidence and in which packaging producers would wish to participate. Environmental Remedies Acquires Solidification Facility Environmental Remedies, Atlanta, Georgia, has acquired a Macon,Georgia-based solidification facility,which is owned by A&D Environmental Services Inc.,High Point,North Carolina. Over the next two months, Operations Director John Del- li-Gatti said Environmental Remedies will be making sig- nificant improvements to the A&D Macon facility to better serve the company’s customers from this location.

Wasatch Partners With CP Group For MRF Opening Wasatch IntegratedWaste Management District partnered with CP Group to undergo a large upgrade at their munic- ipal solid waste facility in Layton, Utah. The new facility serves Davis and Morgan Counties. The opening of the new facility marks three years of plan- ning, engineering, and construction by Wasatch. The new $25 million project is located at the former site of the Davis Energy Recovery Facility, a 420 ton per day municipal waste combustor, which was closed after 30 years of operation in May 2017.The construction on the new facility began in October 2019 and commercial operation began in June of 2020. The new facility is capable of processing 40 tons per hour of municipal solid waste or 15 tons per hour of single stream comingled recyclables.Through system design flex- ibility,Wasatch is able to process both material streams on the same line. OCC, OMP, PET, HDPE, AL, steel, and fines are recovered. Non-recyclable plastics and mixed paper are combined to create an engineered fuel, which can be used by industrial sources to offset the use of coal. Organics (fines) are recov- ered for potential use as a feedstock for anaerobic digestion. ISRI Surveys MRFs For Protocol Program Following the launch of its new venture to provide clar- ity into which products are truly recyclable, the Washing- ton-based Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) has announced that its Recyclability Protocol & Certification program for fiber-based packaging is moving to its next stage of development, which includes a confidential survey. Launched in June, ISRI’s Recyclability Protocol & Certifica- tion program is designed to help solve the ongoing confu- sion in the marketplace over what products are truly recy- clable. During this upcoming phase, Atlanta, Georgia-based Moore & Associates, on behalf of ISRI, will administer a confidential survey to material recovery facilities (MRFs) nationwide to gain an inventory of packaging that is recy- cled.The survey will provide details on packaging materials, shape and size as well as regional variances in technology and capacity. The results from the confidential survey will help to shape the new certification program. ISRI says the goal is to have more fiber-based packaging that is designed with the intent to be recyclable based on both technical and mar- ket demand criteria. ISRI said it expects to complete the development of its Recyclability Protocol & Certification program early in 2021. Once complete, the final protocol will incorporate data on the technical recyclability of pack- aging based on existing technologies and capacity as well as market demand data for the materials.The protocol and certification will assist packaging manufacturers, packaging designers and brand owners in understanding what is re- cyclable, especially in the design stage, as fostered by ISRI’s Design for Recycling initiative.
