The main purpose of this study is to give a critical explanation of the performance of the Italian container glass industry from the perspective of cullet being recycled, to outline the opportunities for transition towards circular business models that stimulate innovation in new sectors based on reverse-cycle activities for recycling. In 2015, disparate performances have been achieved as regards the container glass recycling rate in northern, central, and southern Italy, accounting for around 73%, 64%, and 55%, respectively. In fact, only northern Italy is in line with European targets, as by 2025 it will only need to increase its current performance by two percentage points, unlike central and southern Italy that will have to increase performance by, respectively, 11% and 20%.

  • Borough of Oakland Notice of Change to Recyclable
    BOROUGH OF OAKLAND NOTICE OF CHANGE TO RECYCLABLE MATERIALS EFFECTIVE IMEDIATELY Dear Resident, Over the past two years the market for plastic recyclables has changed dramatically. For many years most plastic recyclables in the U.S. were sold to Chinese manufacturers. Their ever increasing demand for raw materials resulted in an expansion of the types of plastic materials that were accepted, even if those items were of marginal quality or contaminated. This eventually led to an expansion in the types of products the Borough was able to recycle. Last year the Chinese government began enforcing policies (their ‘Green Fence”) aimed at rejecting any materials that were contaminated or contained non-recyclable items. Due to these stricter regulations, there is now an oversupply of recyclables at the domestic mills in the U.S.A. and Canada and not enough market demand for certain types of materials. As a result, the Borough’s recycling marketer will not accept the following: Plastics numbered 3, 4, 6 or 7 Plastic bags, including, shopping bags, garbage bags and Ziploc bags Plastic film wrapping, including garment bags Styrofoam of any kind Rigid plastics such as toys, crates, lawn furniture Hoses Pesticide containers Frozen microwave trays or food platters, even if stamped 1, 2 or 5 Wax cardboard boxes In addition, the Borough’s marketer will not be able to accept shredded paper. Unfortunately, the above materials must now be placed in the trash or recycled by using the alternatives specified later in this notice. If they continue to be put in curbside recycling, they will be rejected by the marketer, sent to a landfill for disposal and the Borough will be charged a disposal fee greater than what we currently pay to dispose of our own garbage.

  • Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue
    Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies David Rue The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council White Paper on Cullet Utilization and Opportunities is funded entirely by GMIC and is provided to all interested parties at no charge Cullet Supply Issues and Technologies October, 2018 The objective of this study is to provide information to assist GMIC members in gaining a better understanding of ways in which more post-consumer cullet can be recycled and to investigate technical changes GMIC could catalyze to make that happen. This White Paper Study was led by David Rue with input from Robert Lipetz (GMIC Executive Director) and input from experts on collection, processing, characterization, procurement, and re-use of cullet. The opinions of experts are often but not always in agreement. Efforts have been made to include input from all parties. To obtain the most open possible input, the names of all respondents have been excluded from this document. No proprietary information is included. Several company names are included, with the understanding that these references are for illustration and informational purposes and not as endorsement of the companies themselves. Introduction Glass is 100% recyclable. Recycled glass competes with raw material batch and must rely on cost to drive utilization. A wide range of factors affect the cost of cullet to the glass companies. Most surveys (EPA, Container Recycling Institute, GPI) agree that roughly 11 million tons of glass is disposed of each year in the US, and 32-34% of that glass is recycled. Approximately 2.7 million tons were recycled to container glass and 1 million tons to fiberglass in 2017 (Resource Recovery magazine, 2018).

  • Recycling Facts / Water
    INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT RECYCLING: On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day. The average person, yearly, throws away about 1 ton of garbage each. 2,000 pounds of trash for each person, can you imagine that piled in your back yard. No, of course not, the trash gets taken away to be buried in landfills. That is another problem. We are running out of landfills. Where to put the trash? A typical family consumes 182 gallons of soda, 29 gallons of juice, 104 gallons of milk, and 26 gallons of bottled water a year. That's a lot of containers ‐‐ make sure they're recycled! Almost any material can be recycled in some way. The most popular items that are recycled are paper, plastic, metals, and glass. One reason we should all agree on for recycling is to conserve our resources for the future. Another important reason is to save energy. Can you imagine a life without TV or a dryer that makes your clothes so soft and fluffy? Recycling also limits gas emissions that are causing the Greenhouse effect. By changing one of your light bulbs to a qualified energy saving light bulb, we can conserve the energy to light 3 million homes for up to a year. That also saves $600 million dollars in yearly energy bills. Not only that, but, the equivalent to 800,000 cars gas emissions will be eliminated. Just one light bulb can make a huge difference. Recycling Facts / Water A running faucet wastes 2.5 gallons of water each minute.

  • What Is and Isn't Recyclable
    What is and isn’t recyclable? Please follow the tips below for easy recycling and ensure that all recyclables are placed securely in the correct recycling bin Examples of non-recyclable items: • Used motor oil. You can drop off your used motor oil at a certified collection center. Please call the Recycling Hotline at 1-800-533-8414 for a collection center near you. • Hazardous waste. Anything that is labeled toxic, poisonous, corrosive or flammable is considered hazardous waste and must be properly disposed. Used auto parts are often covered in hazardous materials and these should be disposed of carefully. The County of Santa Clara's Household Hazardous Waste Program will accept materials such as automotive fluids, paint, pesticides and batteries, free-of-charge. Please call the Household Hazardous Waste Program at (408) 299-7300 for an appointment. Numerous hazardous waste disposal links can be found at http://www.hhw.org/. • Plastic toys. Most toys are made of different types of plastic mixed together. Plastics cannot be mixed together during the recycling process. • Paper cups and plates (even clean ones). The recyclers must always assume that food residues exist, even if they don’t, because food waste is a contaminant for recycled paper. • Any paper that has touched food: Frozen food boxes. These have a wax coating which cannot be removed during recycling. Beverage cups, coffee cups, bags, donut boxes, burger wrappers, ice cream cartons, pizza boxes, paper plates, anything that has ever touched food directly. • Binder Clips may not be recycled: Staples and small paper clips may be recycled.
