Renew in Lower Manhattan

The aim of the ecological footprint will be to put in practice Renew’s environmental policy to achieve the optimal recycling solution for the Lower Manhattan. There are three dimensions to Renew’s ecological footprint: • The unit • The operation (which includes installation) • The landfill/recycling implications These dimensions are expanded below. 01. The Unit The unit is composed of five components – the blast module, the display module, the digital components, the top cover, and the apertures. There is a bill of materials for each component which identifies its elements and weights. These elements are analysed into their most fundamental form (i.e. if plastics, what type, organic or inorganic, or if aluminium, virgin or recycled). In terms of weight, a Renew unit is composed of more than 50% recycled materials. 02. Installation The unit’s deployment consumes resources. Its concrete base, transportation and installation at site require energy and modes of transport to reach their destination. These have been identified and will be monitored by the chosen installation contractor with a view to achieving savings in the resources consumed.

32

Renew Recycling + Information Network

03. Operation The operation of the unit breaks down into three categories: the unit, the personnel, and the backbone digital systems. Electricity is the primary resource consumed by the Renew unit, with an annual consumption of 1,620 kWh. The use of green energy from renewable sources (i.e. wind- farms) can entirely mitigate the carbon footprint for this energy. The Renew unit uses technology which minimises the use of energy by adjusting the brightness of the screens to the ambient light levels throughout the day. Furthermore, the wear-and-tear of the components are carefully monitored to minimise replacement rates. Renew maintenance personnel operate a fleet of electric scooters and vehicles. Electric scooters and trucks carrying rapid response, deep cleansing and auxiliary services are powered by the same renewable energy source as the Renew units. The life cycle of communications equipment, such as mobile phones and pdas are monitored and are recycled in compliance with EPA. The Renew network relies on data communication between server sites, as well as a host of other digital support systems which are consistent with all operations outlined above and will use renewable energy. The ultimate aim of Renew will be to provide Manhattan with the most environmentally sustainable on-street recycling solution, addressing the complex needs for communication and safety for NYC commuters.

Ecological Footprint

Renew Recycling + Information Network

Statistics

Power output

1.0 ton of materials are used to manufacture a Renew unit, of which more than 50% is composed of recycled materials

The system, (just one digital module) with the screen running at full brightness, consumes 210W, of which 190W is the display, 10W the computer and 10W the fans, modem and webcam and other components.

A Renew units can collect an estimated 1.5 tons of recyclables (primarily paper) per year 4,320 kWh of electricity sourced from renewables are used per annum in the operation of a renew unit. Renew’s energy consumption is carbon neutral All electronic components are recycled in compliance with the EPA’s Resource Conservation Challenge and the national electronics recycling effort

For a 24 hour period this equates to just over 5.0 kilowatt hours. Using adaptive brightness technology and turning the screens off at night and the rest of the components into standby at night time it is estimated that Renew will use 3.5 kWh and on a summer day and 2.7 kWh on a winter day.

Renew provides a secure, unique, creative, and sustainable medium for the Business Improvement Districts to provide public service information and recycling in Midtown Manhattan. Thank you for your time.

Renew has taken into careful consideration the many obstacles that exists for its Units’ placements in New York City. By conducting several months of on-site survey, along with the analysis of electrical plans and street plans (when available), Renew has identified location where its units will not have any tangible street issues. Major concerns included the allocation of electricity. Each Renew unit was placed based on electricity availability. In addition, Renew studied the NYCDOT requirements for street furniture and reviewed FDNY’s water access needs.

New York - March 6th, 2008

London - July 7th, 2005

Instanbul - July 28th, 2008

At 3:43 a.m. a rudimentary explosive device was detonated at a Military recruitment station in Times Square, causing minor damage and disrupting public transportation. Footage from a private security camera shows a cyclist riding up to the military station.

The 7th July 2005 London bombings were a series of coordinated bomb blasts that hit London’s public transport system during the morning rush hour, killing 52. The act was carried out by British Islamist extremists.

Istanbul Gov. Muammer Guler called the blasts “an act of terror,” and said the devices were placed 15 meters (49 feet) from each other. The first was a stun grenade that was detonated to draw attention before the second blast went off, he said. One bomb had been placed in a trash can.

Emergency Services

IED Target

Renew is designed specifically with passing commuters security in mind, enabling emergency services to communicate directly to the public. In the event of an emergency or major transport disruptions, Renew will dramatically improve communication to commuters providing real time information and updates regarding hazards. The 7/7 emergency clearly demonstrated the need for alternative communication channels following the disabling of mobile systems.

Terrorism is not an abstraction to New York City and New York Police Department has made the defense against the terrorist threat one of its core priorities. Trash receptacles have been a favorite sight for terrorist due to their concealment factors and provision of secondary fragmentation. A thirty year review of terrorist threats involving trash receptacles by Hazard Management Solutions Ltd. concluded that historically, the size of devices that find their way into litter bins have been relatively small, particularly as a small device can be easily and inconspicuously dropped into a bin.

“...Information is essential. When in shock people freeze and can’t make rational decisions. People need to know what to do.” Survivor of the Kings Cross / Russell Square explosion (P60 of the 7/7 report) 64

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Renew LOCK-DOWN and Reinstatement Procedure

Critical Infrastructure protection is the standard in New York’s counterterrorism strategy and there has been a particular focus on financial areas, trading areas and shopping areas with heavy pedestrian traffic. Renew will continue the Target Hardening process by providing critical pedestrian infrastructure, the provision of sanitation and recycling receptacles, that meets the counterterrorism standards of New York. The Renew Unit is anchor bolted to a six inch think cement base.

Lock-down Schedule (Process and Response Time) NYC to request specific unit, or network lock-down. Renew to respond within 4 hrs during operating hours and 8 hrs during non-operating hours. Lock-down Procedure Recycling/Waste to be removed from within each unit and the internal cavity to be swept clean and disinfected. Each aperture to be rendered unusable by fixing a plate across openings by using four security bolts (bolts that cannot be turned anti-clockwise). Locking mechanism on the unit to be rendered inoperable by attaching plates using four security bolts. Plates to carry public message that units are under conditioning and will be made available shortly. Whilst the unit under lock down mode, the network will be daily inspected by Renew monitoring fleet to ensure unit lock-down is not breached. Reinstatement Procedure NYC to request specific unit or network to be reinstated. Renew to cut security bolts, remove security plates and reinstate unit back into working condition. Renew to show public message on screens that unit has been reinstated. Renew to comply to unit reinstatement within 24 hrs upon request.

For Strategic and High-Visibility sites, the Renew Unit can be further strengthened and used as a bollard. By installing two steel pipes into the Renew Unit and sinking them into the ground, the Renew unit can reach US Department of State Bollard standards of up to a K12 designation (See table for detailed design and performance features).

On-Street Information & Security

Tests in New Mexico Independent testing of the Renew blast module was conducted by the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) on October 31st, 2006. A copy of the test results are included in references section. Sensitive information has been edited from the technical report. The complete un-edited document is available for review by qualified agents within the City, including the Security and Contingency Planning Office of the City of London. Four tests were conducted with the explosives located at different positions within the container. The containers successfully contained the detonations in all four tests. Similar tests were conducted by EMRTC on existing waste receptacle used in the limited recycling trials by the City of London. These units were not designed to meet the threat of an IED, and catastrophically failed under the explosive loading, with the units becoming secondary fragmentation and bringing severe destruction to witness boards and glass panes located near the units. Video footage from all EMRTC tests is available in DVD format for review by City officials and relevant concerned parties.

Protecting People and Property

X-Ray Ability of Unit

• Renew is designed to protect people and property from fires and explosions inside the recepticle.

The Renew Unit can easily be x-rayed, allowing the NYPD to quickly apply its standard operating procedures in the case of a threatening device in a unit.

• The Renew unit uses proprietary Blast Intelligent Technology to mitigate fragmentation and the blast from impovised explosive devices (IEDs). • Renew improves the safety of the City against the hazards of improvised explosion devices (IEDs), particularly reducing the effect of blast. • As indicated in the diagrams above, blast injuries can be fatal to people in the surrounding area. Renew actively suppresses and mitigates this hazard.

Indoor and Outdoor Performance A one kilogram TNT open air charge has a peak pressure of 33 psi at 5 feet. The pressure reduces to 14 psi at 10 feet. The pressure reduction with a Renew Unit would be dramatic and would reduce the 5 foot pressures to less than 12 psi and the 10 foot pressure to less than 5 psi. The BlastWrap would reduce the vertical pressures to approximately the same levels such that a reflected wave from a solid bare ceiling would have negligible strength. (Information from US DHS indicates that: 0.2psi is the threshold for ear damage, 5.0 psi is the threshold for eardrum rupture, 30 psi is the threshold for lung damage and 100 psi is the threshold for lethality.)

Brooke McKenna, Executive Director, Coordinated Street Furniture Franchise, DOT, provided Renew with the following opinion of the Cemusa contract: “The Department of Transportation is only pursuing the trash receptacle option included in our Franchise Agreement with Cemusa. However, there are other entities within in the City, such as the Department of Sanitation, that periodically accept bids for trash receptacles. The Franchise agreement with Cemusa is not exclusive, and therefore has no impact on any existing agreement that a BID may have for their trash receptacle programs. The contract is not exclusive and does not preclude other types of procurements in the future, that said, I think it is unlikely DOT would pursue anything related to Trash Receptacles outside the current Franchise Agreement. Trash receptacles are more likely to fall under the Department of Sanitation, the BIDS or EDC.”
