Aqua Metals Signs Agreement With Taiwanese company Nevada-basedAqua Metals Inc. has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Taiwan-based ACME Metal Enterprise Co. Ltd. to deploy and license AquaRefining equipment at ACME’s facil- ity in Keelung,Taiwan. The LOI provides 60 days to finalize the definitive agree- ment and includes terms for licensing and what Aqua Metals calls “a phased deployment” of Aqua Metals’ AquaRefining technology. The LOI also includes provisions for the joint development of processing AquaRefined briquettes into “battery ready oxide material with a global battery manu- facturer to be named later.” ACME currently refines lead bullion into lead alloys for sale to global battery manufacturers.With the proposed ad- dition of AquaRefining, ACME would add the capability to produce what Aqua Metals calls “ultra-high purity AquaRe- fined briquettes” for use in oxide production. Arizona Landfill To Become ‘Sustainability Campus’ The Los Reales Landfill in Tucson, Arizona, will receive a new name in an effort to completely restructure the facili- ty into an environmentally conscious resource.Tucson City Council voted unanimously to rename the landfill to “Los Reales Sustainability Campus” as the facility takes on the goal of achieving zero waste. The move supports the climate emergency declaration the city council adopted in September 2020, which committed Tucson to become a zero-waste city by 2050 and reach car- bon neutrality by 2030. Los Reales opened in 1967 and is Tucson’s only active landfill.The facility takes in about 2,300 tons of solid waste daily and the city spends roughly $8 million every year to process waste at the site. ISRI Requests Reinstatement Of Coin Redemption program The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) is urging the U.S. government to reinstate its mutilated coin redemp- tion program, which was suspended in 2019. The move comes from the U.S. Mint’s request for com- ments regarding proposed revisions related to the exchange of damaged coins, updates to the redemption rates and pro- cedures and acceptance and processing of bent and partial U.S. coins. Historical Significance In its comments, which were sent to the U.S. Mint July 6, ISRI details the burden placed on recyclers when the pro- gram was suspended for a second time in 2019. The pro- gram previously was suspended in 2015. ISRI also discusses the historical significance of recyclers recovering coins, which has become an integral part of many recycling companies’ operations, product mixes and bottom lines.
