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.
