EDITORIAL

by Guy Crittenden “Metro Vancouver must convince ratepayers that its waste-to-energy facility won’t consumer paper and plastics that could viably be recycled.”

Metro Vancouver’s “Zero Waste” Conundrum

R

esidents of Metro Vancouver, BC could be forgiven for being confused over plans for their household waste and recyclables announced in recent months.

“What to do with our garbage” is the perennial football of politicians and policymakers — punted, passed off and occasionally dropped in the game of long-term planning.

Provincial ratepayers have been told that, via the new Stewardship Plan for Packaging and Printed Paper under the province’s Recycling Regulation, the cost of recycling their empty bottles, cans and newspapers, etc. will be picked up by industry, starting in May 2014. The funds will flow from industry organization Multi-Material BC (MMBC).

This follows the “polluter pays” principle and the concept of extended producer responsibility (EPR) whose praises have been sung by SPEC and other BC environmental groups for years. But Charles Beresford of the Centre for Civic Governance at Columbia Institute criticized the plan, saying that industry couldn’t be trusted to run recycling programs. Service levels would drop, he said. Unsurprisingly, the CCGCI is an academic front for BC public sector unions whose workers are afraid of potential job losses.

Throughout the fall, Vancouverites were subjected to a series of conflicting viewpoints from proponents of landfilling, incineration and the “Zero Waste” philosophy. Pity the poor resident who hopes to sort it all out!

As background, the province requires that Metro Vancouver divert 70 per cent of its waste (through recycling, composting or other programs) by 2015, and 80 per cent by 2020. Debate centres on how to achieve that, and what to do with the residual waste.

At the macro level, the provincial Stewardship Plan is expected, over time, to cause producers to redesign their products and packaging to reduce waste and thereby minimize fees.

But Metro Vancouver believes that even in a best-case scenario lots of residual material will be left over. Its Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) includes flow control to prevent waste export outside the region to cheaper facilities with lax recycling standards. Metro Vancouver wants “control over tipping fees, disposal bans and material prohibitions.”

Critics say that what Metro Vancouver really wants is a guaranteed supply of input material for its planned $500 million waste-to-energy facility, which it aims to open in 2018. Ten companies have been shortlisted to develop the technology that would power the plant, and the municipality is currently looking at viable locations.

Metro’s plan envisions household waste flowing to its regional facilities, but allows for private-sector mixed-waste material recovery facilities (MWMRFs) to handle IC&I waste and material from multirez buildings, which often have high contamination levels. Unfortu-

nately council recently stumbled when it tried to pass a bylaw to facilitate this.

Metro Vancouver has also joined with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to create the National Zero Waste Council, presumably to figure out how not to create waste in the first place. The council has been dismissed by Zero Waste Canada as a fig leaf for the city’s incineration plans, claiming it’s confounding the Zero Waste term with the phrase “Zero Waste to landfill.” (We agree they’re abusing this term!)

In a Vancouver Sun article, Russ Black, of Belkorp Environmental Services Inc. — which operates the Cache Creek landfill where much of Metro Vancouver’s waste goes — outlined reasons he believes a new incinerator is bad for the region, including more emissions into the Fraser Valley air shed and that such plants still generate large volumes of toxic ash that require disposal.

John Foden of the Canadian Energy-From-Waste Coalition countered with a list of positive contributions from such plants, saying they’re relatively non-polluting and offering the math that if you get 90 per cent resident participation and recycle 90 per cent of what they throw out — and then find markets for 90 per cent of that stuff — you still only divert about 72 per cent of waste, which leaves a lot of residual material for disposal.

Metro Vancouver estimates that even after reducing per capita disposal and achieving an ambitious diversion rate of 80 per cent, 700,000 tonnes of residual waste will need to be disposed in 2018. It quotes analysis by an independent consultant who puts the cost of landfilling for 35 years at more than $1 billion, while waste-to-energy can be expected “to return a small surplus over that same period.”

When Metro Vancouver took the decision in 2008 to abandon its plan of disposing residual waste at a landfill in B.C.’s Interior, the die was cast for incineration. The dream of building a waste-to-energy plant within an integrated waste management system hinges on at least three factors.

First, real packaging and product waste reduction, as well as increased recycling, need to occur. MMBC’s members must deliver on both counts. Second, MWMRFs must be encouraged for IC&I and multi-rez waste processing.

Third, Metro Vancouver must convince ratepayers that its waste-toenergy facility won’t consumer paper and plastics that could viably be recycled, and that shrinking residual waste will reduce the region’s reliance on landfill.

These are all big challenges, and it will be interesting to watch how it all plays out over the next five years.

thens, Georgia-based Product Policy Institute (PPI) is changing its name and logo. The organization will henceforth be known as “Upstream.”

In a letter Executive Director Bill Sheehan thanked supporters of the organization during its first decade.

“There are now more than 80 state producer responsibility laws covering a wide range of products in 33 states,” Sheehan wrote. “More than 60 public interest organizations are advocating for EPR around the country through the CRADLE2 Coalition. In addition, we’ve helped local government officials organize for EPR, and there are now product stewardship councils in more than a dozen states.”

Upstream will continue to engage the public around product stewardship in the next stage of the journey, and the name change reflects this priority.

“We still plan to serve our core constituencies of public-interest groups, local government officials and companies engaged in authentic sustainability policies,” Sheehan wrote, “but will also be shifting resources to directly engage the American people through collaborative campaigning on broader issues.

newly expanded production facility in Moose Creek, Ontario is boosting the local job market and advancing efforts to eliminate tire waste in the province. Moose Creek Tire Recycling (MCTR) announced the completion of its $18 million facility expansion project, resulting in the creation of more than 45 jobs within the local region.

MCTR began processing scrap tires in 2004 and partnered with Animat — a Sherbrooke, Quebec-based producer — to manufacture innovative rubber mats made from recycled tires for agricultural and commercial use. MCTR’s new facility features state-ofthe-art technology, which enables the company to produce more than 300,000 rubber mats each year to satisfy rising demand for the recycled tire products it offers.

In Ontario, more than 12 million tires are sold each year, and every tire contains more than 90 per cent recyclable materials such as synthetic and natural rubber, oil, polyester and steel. Under Ontario’s Used Tires Program operated by Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS), MCTR works with collectors, haulers, processors and product manufacturers like Animat to sustainably recycle these used tires into fine crumb rubber. Crumb rubber becomes a key ingredient when creating new recycled tire products.

erraCycle Canada is helping make Vancouver the first city in the world to add cigarette recycling infrastructure. TerraCycle uses the cigarette butts, notably the cellulose acetate filters, to make a variety of industrial products such as plastic pallets. It’s all part of Vancouver’s goal of becoming the greenest city in the globe by 2020.

TerraCycle has installed 110 cigarette recycling receptacles on several blocks within four downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Areas. The receptacles have a width and depth similar to a streetlight, yet stand just above waist-high.

The charity United We Can is a partner on the new cigarette recycling project.

It’s responsible for emptying out the receptacles and tracking data for the pilot project. The group has been operating a bottle recycling depot for 15 years in Vancouver’s downtown east side, paying some of the city’s most marginalized people for their collected bottles and cans.

Another Vancouver-based social enterprise, EMBERS, is responsible for installing and maintaining the cigarette About 3.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered every receptacles. single year around the world.

TerraCycle estimates that 3.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered every single year around the world. In 2012, year one of TerraCycle’s original mail-in cigarette recycling program, some 50,000 people collected more than five million cigarette filters.

“Called the Cigarette Waste Brigade, this environmental program goes well beyond basic recycling; it also incentivizes Canadians by offering money for each pound of cigarette waste collected that can be directed to registered charities, and by making plastic products from the collected tobacco-related waste,” TerraCycle states on its website.

The four downtown Business Improvement Areas to host the new cigarette receptacles are: Downtown Vancouver, West End, Robson and Gastown.

The receptacles are easily identified with stickers that say “Recycle Your Butts Here.”

ontreal is taking another shot at recycling #6 polystyrene containers, this time with the help of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA).

The catch is that consumers will have to thoroughly clean the insulative containers and then transport them out to a single location — the LaSalle Ecocentre — for processing.

This includes foam coffee cups, egg containers, trays used for fruits and vegetables, and styrofoam packaging from electronic products.

The Post-Consumer Polystyrene Recycling Pilot Project runs from October 19, 2013 to September 30, 2014. It will run for four seasons, which will make the project more efficient and provide more complete data.

But it won’t be Montreal’s first venture into polystyrene recycling. A similar program ran in Montreal throughout the summer of 2011, when Montrealers were asked to return the #6 polystyrene containers to Eadie Ecocentre in Montreal’s South West borough.

That program achieved enough success to warrant the additional, longer pilot project, the city says.

After the foam is dropped off and sorted at the LaSalle Ecocentre, it will be shipped to a recycling centre in Granby, Quebec.

According to CPIA, the containers will be recycled by Quebec company Polystyrene Recyc Plus and made into new articles such as insulating boards, cushion packaging, and other finishing construction products made by firm polyform. Hard polystyrene or foam polystyrene can also be recycled into multiple practical or decorative products: picture frames, coat hangers, office supplies, cornices and moldings in buildings, food packaging, etc.

The pilot project is made possible through the financial contribution of CPIA and their members, including the Quebec firms Cascades, Dyne-a-pak and Aliments Ultima, as well as the City of Montreal.

Recycling Access in Canada

Access across the country and what it means for diversion

A

s recycling stewardship evolves in Canada, so too does the need to measure the success of various programs. Diversion rates and recycling rates are primary key performance indicators (KPIs), but other information can also offer insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a particular program.

er goods is constantly changing. Across the country, some recycling programs have increased the range of materials accepted; others continue to refine the list of acceptable materials to suit the needs of local material recovery facilities (MRFs).

Just as different regions of Canada are diverse politically and culturally, so too is their level of recycling access.

DEFINING “ACCESS” TO RECYCLING In the case of packaging waste, which is generally collected by individual municipalities or regional districts in Canada, an increasingly important measurement (especially for packaging stewards) is the per cent of the population that has “access” to recycling of these materials — from basic newspaper and cans to more complex packaging like film plastics and coffee cups.

Defining “access” can be the subject of great debate. While some suggesting that access is when you get free recycling at your home, others argue that access also encompasses those that can purchase private recycling services on a subscription basis (something that’s more common in the US).

For our purposes, a resident is considered as having access to recycling when they can recycle discards via their municipal curbside programs or municipal drop-off depots, as well as redemption locations (for deposit-bearing packaging like beverage containers).

BEST WAYS TO MEASURE In the past, material-specific research measured access based on a series of data call surveys to municipalities. The method was reasonable, but encountered margins or error related to different factors: respondents who didn’t send back the survey; respondents who mis-reported, based on a lack of understanding of material classifications; and, various levels of extrapolation.

CM Consulting believes the best way to measure access is to base it on what the resident is informed they have access to. To attain this information, the consulting team plays the role of the resident and uses a series of tools available to residents to attain the information, like visiting a community website for example (as a first step), and a phone call (as a second step).

updated and improved upon as new packaging materials are introduced.

The consultant compared the accepted materials to statistics from the 2011 census to determine national and provincial access rates for the materials. The data can be organized to show how many people nationwide or provincially can access recycling programs for different materials, or the data can be used to compare access for a specific material in different provinces.

The results are very interesting.

SOME TOP LINE FINDINGS Across the country, 95 per cent of Canadians have access to recycling via a municipal curbside or depot drop-off facility for bottles, jugs and jars (e.g., for beverages, cleaning products, food, etc.) made from PET plastic.

Most types of plastic containers show similarly high rates. Some systems do not ac-

cept plastic containers that are not bottles with screw on caps, while others exclude certain resins, such as #6 Polystyrene or #3 PVC containers.

PET non-bottle rigid containers are accepted in programs serving nearly 90 per cent of Canadians, while only 52 per cent have access to recycling programs for non-bottle rigid containers (like bakery trays) made from polystyrene.

Most of the traditional paper fibre materials — such as OCC, boxboard, glossy magazines, and newsprint — can be recycled by roughly 90 per cent of Canadians.

Most of the programs that accept these materials also accept less traditional paper materials such as fibre-based egg cartons and hot beverage trays (like those used to serve multiple coffee cups at a drive-through restaurant).

While a specific material may show a high national rate, individual provinces sometimes show significant differences from one another.

The data provides the access rates for each specific materials by province. For example, aluminum food trays and dishes have an access rate of 82 per cent in British Columbia, but only 26 per cent in Saskatchewan.

The research is updated annually, which provides valuable trending information.

For example, in 2009 only 25 per cent of Canadians had access to recycling food packaging made from polystyrene or “expand­ed polystyrene” (EPS). (Polystyrene is often called by the brand name “Styrofoam.”) Because of improvements in densifying technologies, more municipalities began to accept it in their programs; by 2013, jurisdictions serving 30 per cent of Canadians are now accepting this material. (For more about polystyrene recycling, see article, page 38.)

The 2014 update (due out in January) will also offer insight on if and how much China’s “green fence” has impacted recycling access rates for some materials, which may be more difficult to sort and sell.

million. If Peel accepted PET non-bottle rigid in its recycling program, access rates in Ontario would increase from 84 to 94 per cent, and the national rate would increase to 93 per cent.

WHY IS THIS DATA SO IMPORTANT? For producers and stewards of packaging materials trying to increase recycling of their materials, this information is invaluable as it helps to pinpoint populations who cannot presently recycle a given material, allowing the steward or their collective organization (IFO, PRO, etc.) to target efforts to expand collection and processing.

Producers and stewards may also be faced with having to know what percentage of their customers can recycle their packaging, because labeling a package as “recyclable” will require due diligence.

The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) in the US is an industry organization whose membership includes most industry leaders in retailing, food service, and packaging. The SPC has developed a new recyclability labeling system that identifies a package as having one of three levels of recyclability. How the package is labeled depends entirely on the level of access that people have to recycling that particular material.

Any product that can be recycled by 60 per cent or more of the population via curbside pickup or depot drop-off is considered “Highly Recyclable” and would be labeled as such. Materials that can be recycled in the same manner by 20-59 per cent of the population are considered “Limited” in recyclability. If less than 20 per cent of the popu-

lation has access to recycling a specific type of packaging, it will be labeled as “not yet recycled.”

For municipal and district governments, the ability to compare programs using standardized measurements such as access rates gives rise to the opportunity for decision makers to see what others are doing and communicate with those municipalities to determine if programs can be expanded to cover — or to better manage — certain materials.

Lastly, for the general public, a database with up-to-date access rates can be easily interfaced with a national postal code-based search tool that takes users directly to their own municipal program page (or calendar, info phone line, etc.).

Note that it’s important when discussing access to recycling that these rates should not be interpreted as participation in recycling or the actual recycling rate. Just because a percentage of people in Canada have the opportunity to recycle a gable-top milk carton in their blue box or at the local depot, for example, does not mean that people will recycle it. In fact, cases where access rates to some materials are high, but diversion rates are low, suggests that access alone is not enough to stimulate increased recycling. This is extremely valuable information for those tasked with increasing recycling rates.

14 Million Rescued From Landfill Environment

Recycling milk containers part of BC’s routine For many British Columbians, recycling empty milk containers has become part of their regular routine. It’s an effortless choice that’s good for the planet; and while people are generally aware that recycling reduces waste, it’s still easy to underestimate the positive impact it has on the environment.

For example, did you know that using recycled plastic uses less energy than producing plastic from new materials?

Once they are turned into plastic pellets at the recycling facility, empty milk jugs are used to make not only new bottles, but also plastic buckets, pails, plastic lumber and many other items. Milk cartons, meanwhile, are made from a high-quality paper fibre which is broken down into pulp during the recycling process and then made into products like tissue paper and cardboard boxes. Every tonne of paper pulp recycled from cartons

saves approximately 17 trees, and in the past five years that the Milk Carton Recycling Program has been in place, the amount of paper pulp recycled was 1,450 metric tonnes. That is roughly equivalent to 24,000 trees!

More people than ever are recycling

According to the most recent data from 2012, the program is having a great deal of success as more and more people become aware of the options for recycling milk containers. 89% of Polycoat milk containers are recycled as tissue paper & cardboard

Plastic milk containers are recycled as buckets & plastic lumber

How to prevent milk containers from being trashed In 2012, milk container recycling in BC increased 5% over 2011. While that’s an encouraging number, there is still more work to be done.

Recent research shows that BC residents say they dispose of 15% of milk containers in the garbage.

You can help make a positive impact by bringing back your own empty containers, and by spreading the word to friends and family who don’t.

How to make it part of your routine You can help make the world a cleaner, better place by making one simple choice: instead of throwing away your empty containers, bring them to the Return-It Depot along with your bottles and cans for recycling. Since you didn’t pay a deposit when you purchased them, you won’t get a refund when you bring them back—but you will enjoy the satisfaction of making a lasting difference.

British Columbians are now aware of at least one type of milk container that can be recycled. To help accommodate this increased awareness and the resulting positive change in recycling habits, the number of Return-It™ Depots accepting milk cartons has grown to 165.

2013: milk container recycling hits new high This increase in numbers adds up to more milk containers being recycled than ever before. In 2013, Return-It™ Depots throughout BC have so far collected over 310,000 kg of milk containers, an increase of roughly 11% over the same period in 2012.

That amounts to over 14 million individual containers annually. In fact, if you were to place them all side-by-side, they would cover over 1,500 km—the direct distance from Vancouver to the BC/Yukon border.

While plastic jug recycling has seen a modest increase, polycoat container recycling has enjoyed substantial growth over last year—roughly a 15% increase according to the most recent data. While this steady rise in these numbers is an encouraging sign, too many milk cartons in BC are still finding their way to the trash. Thus, the task of raising awareness continues.

New Granulator

Recovers virtually pure copper from all types of scrap wire and cable

MG Recycling wire and cable granulator

R

ecycling Equipment Canada is pleased to announce that it has partnered with OBC Baling Equipment to support the distribution of MG Recycling wire and cable recycling equipment throughout Canada.

MG Recycling wire and cable granulators offer the most efficient and effective method of recovering copper from all varieties of solid and stranded wire and cable, including auto wiring harnesses. The recovered output is 99 per cent or more pure copper. MG equipment offers maximum throughput and is ideal for higher-volume wire and cable recycling operations.

These machines also process aluminum, radiators and e-waste (WEEE).

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS MG Recycling cable and wire granulators offer a number of features and benefits.

Large feed hoppers with metered input to the pulverizing chamber

allow all sizes of wire and cable to be loaded at once, with no need to pre-sort wire and cable into different gauges or feed it by hand.

MG’s dry-grinding pulverizers feature hardened steel alloy blades and chambers for low maintenance and long life, minimizing costly downtime.

The patented “Zig Zag Turbo” air separation system enables perfect separation of solid and stranded copper from plastic and textile insulation. This results in better than 99 per cent pure copper output with the highest market value. (More profit for you!)

MG equipment also processes aluminum, radiators and e-waste (WEEE), so that you can generate increased profits from a wider range of materials. Throughputs of up to 1,260 kg (2,650 lbs) per hour support the largest recycling operations for maximum revenue generation.

MG’s range of compatible conveyors and Titronic 500 or 800 shredders allow easy integration into your existing recycling processes and available space.

by Mike Birett “These efforts have facilitated the addition of an estimated 10,000 tonnes of new materials to municipal Blue Box programs.”

The CIF Turns Five A five-year review of the Continuous Improvement Fund

Small-scale material separation installation funded by the CIF at Strong Township, Ontario.

INSET: Cover-All building for the installation.

O

ntario’s Continuous Improvement Fund (CIF) issued its first grant in the summer of 2008. Within five years the fund had approved approximately $35 million in grants to over 480 projects with a combined, total value of almost $85 million. This effort represents approximately six times the number of projects funded under the CIF’s predecessor, the Effectiveness and Efficiency Fund, during a similar length of time.

More surprising is the fact that the efforts being under taken through the CIF represent only a small portion of the activity underway from municipalities and other stakeholders to improve Ontario’s Blue Box curbside recycling program.

So, what did $35 million buy?

A five-year review, examining program performance from start-up in April 2008 until April 2013, revealed that the CIF had provided technical and/or financial support to almost 70 per cent of the municipalities and First Nation communities participating in Ontario’s Blue Box Program. The CIFsupported activities ranged from cost reduction initiatives to program expansion, best practice development & implementation, and policy support.

Approximately half of the CIF initiatives were focused on costcontainment efforts, such as an investment of almost $16 million into 64 different infrastructure development projects. These infrastructure

development projects included funding of new and upgraded transfer facilities and MRFs across the province; the primary objective of this was to reduce shipping costs and facilitate access to more competitive processing options.

Combined with other CIF funded initiatives, these projects are projected to deliver a system-wide savings of over $11.3 million per year going forward.

At the outset of the program, the benefits were recognized of moving the 230-plus individual Blue Box programs in Ontario towards a common “basket of goods” or collected materials. That goal, however, required changes at every stage of the supply chain, collection to markets.

In response, another third of CIF funds were directed towards program expansion efforts in order to increase diversion and harmonize Blue Box recycling programs across the province.

Throughout the supply chain, the CIF made significant investments both in staff resources and funding into various R&D initiatives (to test out new collection and processing technologies and improve markets).

On the streets, the CIF invested $600,000 to examine collectionrelated cost saving technologies such as alternative fuel vehicles and RFID technology. Based on this work, CIF funded four innovative projects, converting municipal Blue Box fleets to automated cart collecDecember 2013/January 2014 www.solidwastemag.com 17

tion systems, with a total projected annual saving expected to exceed $1.5 million/year.

In the MRFs, the CIF funded investments in new technologies including film separation equipment, improved baler systems, optical sorters, and polystyrene densification equipment.

At the end of the supply chain, the CIF made strategic investments of over $1.75 million on market development for key materials like 3 to 7 plastics, thermoforms, polystyrene, mixed broken glass, and film.

These efforts, and others, have facilitated the addition of an estimated 10,000 tonnes of new materials to municipal Blue Box programs across the province.

Best practice development and compliance accounted for the majority of the remaining projects. Key areas of best practice development have included the multi-residential and open space environments. Given that almost 24 per cent of Ontario’s population — and half of Toronto — resides in multi-residential dwellings (and residents continue to demand

expansion of recycling services into public buildings and open spaces) — the CIF responded by investing approximately $3.7 million in over 40 related demonstration projects.

The result was an increase in diversion of Blue Box materials by an estimated 20 per cent in both sectors, with comparable reductions in contamination.

Of equal importance to the development of best practices is the fact that nearly 70 per cent of municipal collection and processing services in Ontario are contracted out to the private sector. To assure that municipalities receive the greatest value for these contracted services, CIF contributed almost $1.5 million over the past five years to support improved procurement and contract management efforts by municipalities.

This initiative included development of model RFPs, contracts and templates, training for municipal staff on effective procurement & contract management, and direct support services.

Notwithstanding investments into the development of new and better practices, the CIF also invested $2.2 million to assist over 100 municipalities with their efforts to comply with the prescribed Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) best practices. Municipal best-practice compliance has increased by almost 30 per cent, in part as a result of these efforts.

So what’s in store for the future?

With the successful completion of the 2013 CIF REOI process, the CIF has committed over $9 million in funding for 46 new projects that will continue to build on the successes of the past five years.

Going forward, readers can anticipate a continued focus on cost containment and regional cooperative initiatives, as well as a concerted effort to develop new support services, conduct effective outreach & consultation, and develop and present training opportunities under the CIFs’ new Centre of Excellence.

Simple is Sometimes Better Compost pilot project on Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula processes organics and paper fibre

I

have a special affinity for Newfoundlanders; there’s a unique realness to them: like Irish folk with whom I’ve spent time, they’re welcoming, unpretentious and quite funny, by and large.

Once the butt of jokes, the province radiates confidence as its economy ascends with oil and gas development, moving past the decline of the fisheries and that way of life.

Also reminiscent of the Ireland (in the 2000s), Newfoundland is wrestling with the modernization of its waste management system. The process of consolidating landfills from many to a few regional facilities is well underway.

The struggle is borne of demographics and geography. The population of 550,000 lives in a few urban centres and significant rural (and in many cases remote) areas. Questions arise over how far is one should be prepared to drive waste to centralized facilities. A critical and unspoken subtext exists, too: Does one want to take away the (admittedly limited but calculable) value of waste, in terms of local economic activity?

Put more simply, in this age of “Costco-ization” is there room for decentralization and “mom and pop” stores?

Given the relatively small amounts of waste and the long distances

by Paul van der Werf “Pittman sees this as a viable option in place of long-hauling wastes to regional sites.”

to be travelled, waste diversion is an expensive proposition for small and remote municipalities.

Recycling of paper and packaging materials requires a consolidation step and, regardless of where that happens, it then needs to be transported elsewhere (typically off island) for processing. Either way, it’s costly for rural and remote municipalities.

The management of organic wastes offers more obvious decentralization opportunities for two reasons: low cost, low tech approaches can be used; and, the resultant products, such as compost, can be used locally. (The avoidance of long haul transfer strengthens the value proposition.)

Peninsula (and its waste management corporation) on the south coast of Newfoundland is relatively remote and, as it turns out, creative, with a willingness to try new approaches.

What if, for instance, one diverted residential organics and paper fibre, and composted both streams? This idea was put to the test. (Full disclosure: I was brought in to provide advice on this.)

A one-year pilot study (mmsb.nf.ca/composting-pilots.asp) commenced in March 2012 to test the collection and composting of residential food waste, leaf-and-yard waste, as well as paper waste from about 200 households in the Town of Grand Bank. A key goal was to see if high quality compost could be produced using this approach.

Residents were supplied with small certified compostable bags for food waste, and larger larger non-compostable plastic bags for paper. The

wastes were co-collected by the Burin Peninsula Waste Management Corporation (BPWMC) and delivered to a pilot composting facility at their local landfill.

The incoming wastes were manually sorted into food waste and paper waste. These were then blended with wood chips and sawdust (using an agricultural mixer) into a number of “recipes� to test the composting process.

Composting was kept very simple (and inexpensive): the blended feedstocks were composted using simple open windrows that employed Compostex covers to keep the rain (and birds) out. The windrows were turned regularly via a farm tractor or the agricultural mixer.

The co-collection of residential organic waste and fibre resulted in an excess of paper. Additional organic material — including groundfish

Certified compostable bags were used to collect food waste from residents.

offal, sea cucumber and crab offal, plus produce from a grocery store — was sourced to develop additional composting recipes and to help use up the excess paper waste.

The composting process worked very well using this approach.

Temperature data was collected on a daily basis, and the various windrows met pathogen reduction requirements. Importantly, the paper waste was fully composted.

A sample of the finished compost was collected and passed CCME and Compost Quality Alliance parameters.

Conclusions This pilot study demonstrated that it’s possible to collect residential organic waste and paper waste, and co-compost them. As well, it demonstrated that there are other wastes — including sawdust/wood chips (from a local sawmill), IC&I organic wastes, and fisheries waste that can be locally sourced and integrated with the residential organic waste and paper waste. Indeed for this study the non-residential wastes ensured the development of a proper composting mix (i.e., sawdust/wood chips) and provided the critical mass to facilitate an effective process that produces a high-quality compost product.

The partners were pleased with the outcome (see video http://2cg.ca/ newfoundland.html).

“This pilot study has been a resounding success,” BPWMC manager Joe Pittman says. “We have produced a top quality product using mostly standard equipment associated with the operation of a waste disposal site.”

Pittman sees this as a viable option in place of long-hauling wastes to regional sites.

“Our pilot study shows we should be able to mitigate significant costs by processing organic and paper fibre streams locally in windrow composting systems,” he says, adding, “It will help us process a large portion of our waste locally will enable us to keep costs affordable for end users.”

The pilot study was relatively small and work remains to be done to size it up. In May 2013 the pilot was extended.

“Through the composting pilot extension, the Burin Peninsula Waste Management Corporation is leading the way in diverting organic waste from the landfill,” says Mike Samson, Chief Executive Officer of the MMSB. “Following completion of this phase of the pilot project, we look forward to exploring the potential of implementing similar waste diversion programs in other areas of the province.”

We often overlook simple solutions because they are just not complicated enough. The small-scale diversion of organics and paper fibre has the potential to be an economical way for more remote Newfoundland municipalities to divert a significant portion of their waste stream and, importantly, one that keeps the dollars of value inherent in these wastes in the community.

is illusionary due to the high costs associated with collection, separation, cleaning and transportation.

Proponents of EPS recycling claim innovation in compaction technology significantly reduces the transportation costs.

Recent data on post-industrial and postconsumer EPS recycling rates in the United States lends credibility to these claims.

According to the EPS Industry Alliance, recycling rates of EPS increased 31 percent over the past two years.

Technologies & locations Recycling EPS typically includes densification. The first method involves crushing and compacting that can increase the material density by 40 percent. The second method is thermal densi- fication, where heat and pressure causes the EPS to melt. Subsequently, the melted foam is passed through a small outlet at the end of the extruder and solidifies into a continuous form that’s 95 percent more dense than the original EPS scrap.

Besides Montreal, several locations in Canada allow businesses and individuals to recycle EPS. The City of Markham is one of several Ontario municipalities that offer6/11/07 EPS recycling.

New Brunswick and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia have EPS programs. At least four municipalities in British Columbia and one in Alberta have either a recycling program or a private operator accepting EPS. Besides municipalities, a number of private enterprises recycle EPS, the most noteworthy being Walmart. EPS material collected at Walmart’s distribution centres is compacted in densification equipment prior to shipment to a company that re-extrudes it into an EPS product.

One of the keys to success for Montreal may very well be market demand for polystyrene. In an interview with the CBC, the CPIA’s Paul Aucoin said, “A lot of companies are looking for it and, unfortunately, are not finding enough of it.”

According to NARS, the current global market for recycled polystyrene stands at over 100,000 tonnes annually, and goes completely unsatisfied.

Much like cardboard and aluminum cans, if there’s a profit to made recycling, then the success of a program is fall but assured.

by Diane Blackburn “An Eco MFP can reduce paper consumption by 80 per cent by reusing the paper up to five times.”

Carbon Copy Toshiba Canada machine recycles paper in-house

Toshiba’s Eco-MFP, erasable Multi-Function Printer.

O

nce upon a time there was carbon paper …

Originally called “carbonic paper,” this indispensable office supply item was paper coated on one side with a layer of loosely-bound dry ink or pigmented coating bound with wax. It was used for making one or more copies simultaneous with the creation of an original document … (says Wikipedia).

Rather like requesting multiple copies from your desktop laser printer, but with way more time and “human power” required.

Basically, you sandwiched a sheet(s) of carbon paper between pieces of white paper, cranked it manually into the platen of a typewriter, and you created physical documents … one at a time. And then they were stored in the cloud … oops, wrong century! They were stuffed into something called a “filing cabinet.”

Photocopiers … a short history On our way to the digital age, a new concept called “electrophotography” came our way courtesy of a New York patent attorney/inventor named Chester Carlson. It was a 15-year slog for Carlson to establish the basic principles of electrophotography but in 1937 his final patent, later renamed “Xerography,” was filed and with it the launch of the billion dollar photocopier industry.

Another 22 years would pass before the introduction of the first commercially-viable photocopier, and yet another two years before the first Xerox 914 copier was sold in 1960. In three short years (from 1960-1963) Xerox’s revenues shot from two million dollars to over $22 million. (I’m sure there’s an app somewhere on a smart phone that can extrapolate those numbers to current day monetary equivalents that will knock your socks off!)

Fifty-three years later, most major electronics manufacturers produce photocopiers. The difference between the original Xerox model and the subject of this article — Toshiba’s Eco-MFP, erasable Multi-Function Printer — is like comparing a Model T to a McLaren P1 Hypercar.

Award-winning technology In October 2014, the Recycling Council of Ontario awarded Toshiba Canada the top prize in the Sustainable Product category at the annual RCO Awards gala. The recognition for Toshiba was based on this marvel of sustainability, the Eco MFP — an environmental champion in Toshiba’s green product lineup.

The environmental goal behind Toshiba’s creation of this multifunctional machine is the instantaneous recycling and reuse of paper in house, which is achieved by erasing the toner colour from the paper.

To do this, the ECO-MFP combines a MFP (e-STUDIO306LP) unit that performs the copy, print, scan and fax functions with a Paper Reusing Device (RD30) that erases the toner colour. Significantly, the ECO-MFP contains a 100 per cent toner recycling technology.

The copier’s life span is extended through the use of a “super sleep mode” which uses a single watt of power during the machine’s snooze cycles. The physical construction of the Eco MFP boasts recycled plastic and bio-based plastic raw materials derived from plants.

Toshiba invests about $4 billion annually into research and development of innovative products, all with the common attribute of minimizing their environmental footprint. In a bid to address the impacts of climate change and become one of the world’s foremost eco companies, Toshiba has launched Vision 2050. The building blocks of this plan coalesce around Toshiba’s initiatives to use resources more efficiently and to manage chemicals through a greening of process, products and technology. Reduction of greenhouse gases, chemical emissions, manufacturing waste and packaging are paramount.

Toshiba anticipates reduced energy consumption through development and implementation of leading-edge, low carbon technologies like solar power and turbine powered generators.

the eco efficiency of its products and processes tenfold by 2050.

Despite dreams of being a paperless workplace Nirvana, business still uses a staggering amount of paper every day. For large volume users, an Eco MFP can reduce that consumption by 80 per cent by reusing the paper up to five times.

Based on a monthly volume of 4500 sheets (average business) combined with the use of an RD-30 unit four times, paper volume can be decreased to a fifth. In terms that a preschooler could grasp, that’s 288 trees rescued from destruction. Imagine the forests that could be saved if Toshiba’s target markets of government, commercial and institutional organizations were all functioning with Eco MFPs! Should these papergobbling organizations have strong environmental and corporate social responsibility initiatives in place, then perhaps Toshiba’s mission to ensure that all humanity can live harmoniously on a sustainable planet, might just be a bit more achievable.

OWMA REPORT

by Rob Cook

Ottawa, We Have a Problem

“Germany and Austria have both recently taken steps towards EPR market liberalization.”

The battle for competition in producer responsibility programs

T

he new interim Commissioner of Competition John Pecman recently spoke about how the Competition Bureau has proactively sought out areas where the Bureau can advocate in favor of increased competition. Earlier this year the Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) sent a letter to the Bureau on this specific issue.

The enactment of extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs by provincial governments has grown tremendously over the last five years and is expected to continue to grow across the country. There’s also a move by producers towards harmonized delivery of these programs through organizations like the Canadian Stewardship Services Alliance for printed paper and packaging, and Electronic Product Stewardship of Canada for waste electronics.

For product stewards, this model makes perfect sense as it’s simpler to manage, reduces risk, and provides them with complete power over the marketplace (and the power to set the price for services).

Who could disagree with harmonization?

However, EPR regulations and programs managed by a collective of product steward companies have typically caused distortions in the competitive dynamic of the recycling services marketplace and related material markets. Specifically, in Ontario this distortion has been acute as prod-

uct stewards have coalesced into industry funded organizations (IFOs) that act as a monopsony in the marketplace. Numerous articles have been written over the last few years about the impact of these organizations on consumers and the existing recycling service marketplace.

IFOs have been allowed to hold both waste service providers and consumers ransom. Service providers have been forced out of business and consumers have been forced to pay fees that may be arbitrary and not reflective of true waste diversion costs.

The OWMA has included the Competition Bureau on letters sent to the Ontario government regarding our specific concerns with Ontario’s waste management framework and its impact on competition. Similar concerns exist or will likely emerge across the country as regulated EPR programs expand or are established. The recent emergence of multiple industry stewardship plans (ISPs) — that allow producers to establish voluntary programs and exit IFOs — will need close monitoring as these ISPs have the potential to exert similar monopolistic control of the marketplace. Being voluntary plans by producers, the Competition Act will be applicable to marketplace actions by ISPs. Governments in Europe are beginning to address similar issues that have arisen from EPR programs. Germany and Austria have both recently taken steps towards market liberalization and the elimination of producer monopolies.

The Competition Bureau in Canada should be taking note. It has an opportunity to proactively engage in the growing concerns around mandated recycling programs in Canada and their impact on fair, open and competitive markets in the recycling and waste services sector.

The Competition Bureau has identified some concerns in a submission to the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) regarding the discussion document, Towards a Proposed Canada-wide Action Plan for Extended Producer Responsibility.

Fair, open and competitive marketplaces are predicated on the tenets of the Competition Actbeing reflected in EPR programs. With proposed changes to Ontario’s waste diversion framework, a proliferation of new regulations in British Columbia, and a general push towards increased provincial EPR programs, now is the time for the Competition Bureau to proactively identify and address current and future competition issues with EPR programs. Canadian consumers and the public and industry sectors impacted by EPR programs deserve no less.

Rob Cook is CEO of the Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) in Brampton, Ontario.

by Rosalind Cooper, L.L.B. “The directors and officers settled with the ministry by paying $4.75 million.”

Personal Liability for Site Cleanup

A

recent case that came before the Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal has generated significant concern on the part of many directors and officers of corporations that engage in operations and activities that could have potential impact on the environment, including operators of landfills and other waste management infrastructure.

Although the decision of the Tribunal was simply an endorsement of a settlement agreed to by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and several former directors and officers of a corporation, the decision is being viewed by many as an indication of what may have been the outcome of the case, had it made its way to a full hearing before the Tribunal.

Northstar contamination & remediation From 1981 to 2009, Northstar Aerospace (Canada) Inc. operated a manufacturing and processing facility for aircraft parts in a plant in Cambridge, Ontario. A chemical — trichloroethylene — was used by Northstar over the years and resulted in contamination of the facility property; this eventually migrated beneath approximately 652 nearby residential properties within the community.

In 2004, Northstar notified the environment ministry that it had identified soil and groundwater contamination on its property, which was potentially migrating. In 2005, the migration was confirmed and Northstar undertook a voluntary remedial program both on- and off-site.

In March 2012, the ministry issued an order to Northstar under the provincial EPA requiring remediation and in light of growing concern about the company’s financial stability.

In June 2012 Northstar and several related companies sought and obtained protection from creditors pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). The directors and officers of Northstar were granted an indemnity in the initial CCAA order for liabilities that they might incur after the filing.

Northstar continued with remedial work until July 2012, when the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of Northstar, with the exception of the contaminated property. The proceeds of sale were distributed to Northstar’s secured lender, and Northstar was unable to continue with the remedial program.

In August 2012, the environment ministry decided to undertake the remedial work itself due to contamination-related health concerns.

On October 21, 2012, when the stay of proceedings under the CCAA proceedings expired, the ministry issued a remediation order against Northstar’s former directors and officers on the basis that they held these posts from 2004 to 2012 and, as such, had management and control of the property and remedial works.

Appeal and settlement The former directors and officers appealed the Order and brought a motion to stay it before the Tribunal. They claimed they’d suffer irreparable harm if the Order was not stayed as they’d incur the remediation costs and could not recover any of them (including from the insurance policy intended to indemnify former Northstar directors and officers, as it excluded environmental remediation costs). In addition, they argued they hadn’t been on Northstar’s board during the time of the contamination occurring, and had no specific responsibility for environmental matters.

The Tribunal did not grant the stay and ordered the former directors and officers to comply with the Order. This is because the Tribunal does not have the discretion to stay certain types of monitoring orders — as well as orders that create a danger to any person or impair the q natural environment. As a result, the directors and officers had to personally pay approximately $800,000 for interim remedial work, pending the appeal of the Order.

In October, before any appeal could be heard, the directors and officers opted to settle the appeal with the ministry by paying $4.75 million to the government. The funds are to be used for remediation of Northstar’s former manufacturing site and the neighbouring contaminated properties in Cambridge. The speculation is that the directors and officers settled when faced with the possibility of funding remediation that could amount to well over $10 million (and the prior unsuccessful effort to obtain a stay of the Order pending appeal).

Implications This settlement, combined with a previous decision of the Tribunal (where liability was imposed on directors and officers of a company that previously owned a contaminated property) will undoubtedly have a chilling effect on the willingness of qualified and experienced individuals to serve on boards and assume officer positions with corporations, particularly since most director/officer insurance policies do not include coverage for environmental claims or, if they do, limits could easily be exhausted.

The decision has created concern on the part of directors and officers in all jurisdictions across Canada since the environmental statutes in most provinces have similar to wording to that in Ontario. In addition, there are many situations where the environment ministry has the power to issue orders, including where waste is improperly or illegally deposited. Directors and officers will need to consider that it is not just the corporations they serve that could be subject to liability in these situations, but that they personally may be subject to fund remedial efforts.

Green Bin deodorizer

A

s organics recycling programs become more widespread, a growing number of people are recognizing the importance of diverting food and yard waste from landfill. Most people want to “do the right thing” yet municipal program directors and building superintendents know that odour and fruit flies from kitchen compost containers and larger Green Bins or other containers can be a deterrent for full participation in organics diversion.

Green Bin Deodorizer solves this problem. This all-natural product from Green Leaf Distribution Inc. in Collingwood, Ontario neutralizes green bin odours and prevents fruit flies with just a few shakes.

The product is applied much like one would shake parmesan cheese onto a salad: shaking about a teaspoon over the top layer of compost material is enough to do the trick.

The Green Bin Deodorizer is formulated with the world’s highest purity (97 per cent plus) type of clinoptilolite zeolite (volcanic mineral) and specialty salts. This powerful mixture instantly goes to work when applied to decomposing food waste. It electrically attracts the molecules of the offending odours and gases (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and methane) and traps them safely and effectively inside its crystalline structure (similar to the network of tunnels and cages in a honeycomb). This rigid, three dimensional structure has a high specific surface area, allowing the mixture to perform double duty by absorbing wet food waste moisture.

For information about the Green Bin Deodorizer and where to get it, visit www.greenleafdistribution.ca or email info@greenleafdistribution.ca

andit Industries now offers a chipping drum option that replaces the traditional Beast cuttermill. Designed for companies that want to exclusively chip with their Beast, the new drum essentially converts the Beast into a whole tree chipper. A variety of screens can be paired with the drum, creating a screened end product that can be tailored to meet various specifications for nearly any biomass energy application.

“Beast users can have the best of both worlds: high quality, screened dimensional wood chips from a traditional whole-tree chipping drum,” says Jason Morey, Bandit Industries sales manager. “Because of the large infeed opening in the Beast, it can better process large, bulky material that would be difficult for whole-tree chippers to handle.”

Chipping drums can be ordered on new Model 2680XP, 3680XP, and 4680XP Beast Recyclers, or retrofitted to older units. With more municipalities and companies around the world turning to biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels, the chipping drum option for Beasts can help users supply these markets.

For 30 years, Bandit Industries has built specialty industrial machines. With biomass markets shifting into high gear, Bandit continues to serve these markets for wood chippers, horizontal grinders, forestry mowers and stump grinders.

by John Mullinder “The distinction between corrugated and boxboard is also important from a waste management policy perspective.”

What do you mean “cardboard” doesn’t exist?

Clarifying definitions of corrugated, boxboard and paperboard

There are many misconceptions in the public imagination about the forest products industry, deforestation a the recycling of paper and paperboard packaging. These charts present a sense of proportion and a reality check about the environmental impact and diversion rates for these materials. The the pie-chart at the right (with paper fibre at 61 per cent) represents material revenues in Ontario’s Blue Box; this debunks that hoary old chestnut that aluminum is the most valuable material in the box.

T

o most of us, “cardboard” generally means a brown box that’s used to deliver stuff to our homes or workplaces. This word image is reinforced by recycling bins parked at strip malls with the word “cardboard” painted in big letters on the side, and by municipalities reminding their residents not to forget to put their “old corrugated cardboard” out to the curb.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with effective communication to a target audience. And there is a reasonable argument to be made that the general public really doesn’t need to know any more, that there is enough clutter out there already. They know what a cardboard box is.

At the same time, however, use of the word cardboard creates confusion. For technically cardboard doesn’t exist. The box we are talking about is either a corrugated box or it is a boxboard or paperboard carton. What’s the difference, and why does it matter?

A corrugated box is made from strong paper fibres, primarily because it is used as a shipping container designed in most cases to deliver many similar products. It comprises several layers of paper fibre to give it that strength: a top and bottom layer (called linerboard) and a middle layer (called corrugating medium). The wavy, ripple-like shape of the medium in the middle gives the box its strength. Think of the Roman arch, or a corrugated tin roof.

A corrugated box always has this ripple layer in the middle.

A boxboard or paperboard carton, on the other hand, does not require the same strength properties as a corrugated box because it normally holds only a single item. Here’s a good example to illustrate the difference. A cereal box is made from boxboard or paperboard, but 20 or 30 or more cereal boxes were delivered to the retailer in just one stronger corrugated box.

To the general public, both box types are simply cardboard. Why does the difference matter?

It matters to recyclers who wish to turn the used “cardboard” into a new paper product. Like a chef, they need to know the properties of their various ingredients. They need to mix and match paper fibre strengths to be certain that whatever new product they are recycling it into, works. Too many thin used fibres by themselves might not be strong enough. So, it’s important for recyclers to know how much of that bale of “cardboard” for recycling is actually corrugated (or old corrugated containers, OCC) and how much is old boxboard (OBB). They need to get their furnish (or recipe) right.

Making the distinction between corrugated and boxboard is also important from a waste management policy perspective. Lumping corrugated and boxboard into one category called cardboard in waste audits and other data gathering exercises makes it a lot harder to determine actual recycling rates and to target recovery efforts at specific waste paper streams.

So when you go home tonight, or if you are already at home, check out that brown box in your basement, garage, kitchen. And remember, it ain’t cardboard!
