Exercise 4. Recycling collection data for the first eight months of fiscal year 2007 show a further decline in recycling compared to the same period in 2006. Hustler Conveyor’s durable, reliable conveyors are built to stand up to harsh recycling environments. Furthermore, Mangiapane isn’t shy about showing his system off. The recovery of energy from waste materials is often included in this concept. Holding the diversion rate constant at 40 percent, the two-sort method costs about 22 percent less per household for every-other-week collection than for weekly collection ($45.76 for every other week, compared to $58.67 for weekly collection). "We don’t need to sit around and discuss things endlessly," says Rick. This recycling guide was produced in 2011 and some of the information is now out of date. The recycling rate of PET bottles and jars was 29.1 percent in 2018, and the rate for HDPE natural bottles was 29.3 percent in 2018. Collection costs are related to the program’s set out requirements (i.e., how material is to be sorted—for example, separate containers for glass, paper, and cans), frequency of collection, and level of community participation. Disposing of these recyclable materials is relatively easy—they can be deposited for pickup or dropped off at recycling centers. The result is an estimated net average cost per ton for recycling of approximately $40 in 2007 and 2008. Single-stream collection is assumed to be implemented using a fully-automated system loading 90 gallon carts large enough to hold two weeks' worth of recyclables, so the collection time per household is the same whether collection is done weekly or every other week. The New York City Independent Budget Office says more recycling could help to lower the city’s trash costs. A large portion of the PE and PET is most likely post-consumer packaging (bottles) from MRFs (material recovery facilities). Sharing responsibilities for educating community membersand enhancing participatio⦠MBA Polymer’s 40,000-metric-ton-per-year feed capacity plant in China, Guangzhou GISE-MBA New Plastics Technology Co. Ltd. (GMP), is among the minority of companies that are meeting these new standards today. The lowest per ton and per household costs occur when recyclables are collected every other week and the diversion rate is high. "Their employees are always willing to help in any way they can—they are great problem-solvers," says Ricky Byers. The two companies were by no means the only ones operating in southern Wisconsin, a region served by several other large scrap companies and one that also draws the attention of scrap recyclers in Chicago and northern Illinois. While the cost per household does not change dramatically as the diversion rate decreases, the cost per ton increases greatly in the scenario with the lower diversion rate. Back in 2002, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg instituted an eighteen month moratorium on glass, plastic, and aluminum recycling â estimated to save the city $57 million â in favor of landfills. "The product the CM system makes, it’s the best chip in the market, which is one reason why we’ve been so successful in our short tenure.". For more than 45 years, Hustler Conveyor Company has been designing, manufacturing and installing rugged, economical and cost-effective conveying equipment to the scrap metal, recycling and solid waste industries. The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education was created to boost recycling, and one of its goals will be to raise the "capture" rate—the share of potentially recyclable materials that is actually set out for recycling, rather than thrown away. The expansion of community recycling programs and public awareness help in this regard. For any problems that do crop up, Mangiapane says Columbus McKinnon is quick to respond. The waste and recycling industry offers several opportunities for someone looking to start a small business with a modest investment. Our goal is to have most consumer products contain recycled plastics, similar to what has developed in the paper and metal recycling and manufacturing industries. In addition, the plant meets stringent air, water and noise pollution standards and emphasizes worker health and safety. Recycling, including the costs of collecting the waste in tiny, mixed amounts, transporting the waste to a handling facility, sorting it, cleaning it, repackaging it, and then transporting it again, often for great distances, to a market that will buy the commodity for some actual use, is almost always more expensive than landfilling that same waste in a local facility. ", Now that the conveyors are serving within the harsh scrap metal environment, Cassell is even more impressed. Plastic pails less than 25L for laundry detergent, ice cream, pet food, etc. Today, the company continues to grow—sometimes through acquisition—and is guided by a group of friends and family members who are eager to compete vigorously in their regional market. Plastic, paper, PET bottles, aluminium and glass are collected and recycled.Japan’s country profile in Waste Atlas shows that in 2012 Recycling Rate [clarification needed] was 20.8%. On the other hand, Cost internalization Incorporates the knowledge of some social or environmental problems that are generated in certain activities so that the companies can take them into account. More pollution and energy consumption. Once processing is complete, the material is often packaged in 25 kilogram bags and sold in the country’s designated markets without product datasheets, so customers will take hand samples to determine the quality. 1. ", The two companies supplied the contractors working on his plant with "drawings that they could follow perfectly," says Cassell. The Bloomberg administration has also begun to look at the potential for expanding the types of materials the city could recycle. As Compared to Other Waste Disposal Methods. For weekly collection, the number of households serviced during each crew shift is 668 under the two-sort method and 780 using single-stream collection, as shown in the table. RoHS acts to restrict the use of polymer materials that contain mercury, lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and a collection of brominated flame retardants above set levels measured in percentages or parts per million (PPM). For ferrous scrap consumers who prefer to have their scrap baled, an Al-jon unit works from the same site. Supports American manufacturing and conserves valuable resources 7. There are definitely concerns with this approach, and it is part of the reason why recycled plastics [in China] tend to have a negative stereotype. On the personnel front, the additions include Art’s sons David and Daniel Arnstein. Utilities Expense - water and electricity costs paid or payable to utility companies; And others, such as Accounting or Bookkeeping Fees, Legal and Attorney Fees, etc. Radke says three knife sizes are used in the system at Silver Lining—2.2, 2.0 and 1.8. While Hong Kong exports 1.62 million metric tons (28 percent) of plastics to China, much of the plastics coming by way of Hong Kong are actually originating from other countries that are also directly shipping to China’s mainland ports, such as Australia (795,000 metric tons, or 14 percent), Taiwan (478,000 metric tons, or 8 percent), Germany (379,000 metric tons, or 6 percent), Philippines (370,100 metric tons, or 6 percent), America (354,000 metric tons, or 6 percent), Spain (215,000 metric tons, or 4 percent), Japan (204,400 metric tons, or 3 percent), Korea (192,000 metric tons, or 3 percent), Malaysia (143,300, or 2 percent) and other countries (1.12 million metric tons, or 19 percent), according to T&T Group and PRC-CPPIA. The author is the IBO’s deputy director responsible for the areas of housing, transportation, environment and uniformed services. Our approach to plastics recycling is creating a paradigm shift in the industry. The timing of the merger has been good, as markets strengthened in 2003, and the new partners had the energy and capital to begin taking advantage of healthy business conditions. Silver Lining shreds both car and semi-truck tires into a 2-inch minus tire derived fuel (TDF) product, which it sells to the local power plant in its hometown of Wyandotte, Mich., as an alternative fuel. Some examples of blending and extrusion include workers moving material from one pile to the next in succession in preparation for extrusion and workers formulating on the fly, or taking material from a pile on the floor and hand-blending it with material next to the feed throat. Each of the three, either as individuals or as parts of family businesses, has been involved in mergers, buyouts and partnerships in the Milwaukee area’s scrap industry since the 1970s. BUYING BACK IN. Shipments to Hong Kong do not require registration, so this is part of the reason why shipments are directed there en route to the mainland. The High Cost of Not Recycling Trash disposal costs. The environmental cost of recycling, especially recycling of heavier materials like scrap metal, can be broken down into essentially two types: costs associated with moving the recyclable material and costs associated with the recycling process itself. The system reduces whole tires down to 2-inch minus tire chips, which are run under a magnet to remove any steel. By recycling plastics, the need for fossil fuels gets reduced, at least in the manufacturing sector where it is a material resource. "I’ve had people in from all over the world come in to check it out," he says. Ease of use and maintenance is another area where the Columbus McKinnon system has impressed Silver Lining. Home. To hedge against the uncertainty of future export contract prices and delays in state approval of the final closure plans for Fresh Kills, the sanitation department included a $15 million contingency in its preliminary 2008 budget.
Consider the effects of frequency of collection on collection cost as shown in Table 1: Finally, Table 1 highlights the impact of the level of participation in the program, or diversion rate, on the costs of collecting recyclables at the curb: Tools for Local Government Recycling Programs, Resources for Recycling in Specific Sectors. Recycling occurs on an industrial level as well and serves as a vital link in the manufacturing chain. Scrap metal, such as steel, is recovered from cars, buildings, appliances, railroad tracks, ships, farm equipment and other sources. United has expanded through acquisition by purchasing the former Wolin Co. in November of 2003; the former Auer Scrap Metal in April of 2004; and most recently the former Donahue Iron & Metal in March of this year. Currently, only about half of the materials that the city has designated as recyclable actually winds up in recycling bins for collection. Our analysis includes only DSNY spending, based on our programmatic presentation of the Department of Sanitation budget ("Analysis of the Mayor’s Preliminary Budget for 2008 and Financial Plan through 2011"; March 2007, p. 50), and includes only direct program costs of recycling and refuse management without allocation of administrative and support costs. In the future, the import enterprise will also require AQSIQ registration. The consensus of current Hustler Conveyor customers is that recyclers of any secondary commodity—metal, paper, mixed materials, C&D debris—will find a gem of a supplier to work with once they call upon Hustler Conveyor.

Recycling has associated costs, some of which are significant. Dr. Darren Arola (global director product development and sales) and Scott Farling (operations manager) work for MBA Polymers’ Richmond, Calif., R&D, product development and pilot-scale production facility. Recycling remains more costly per ton despite the rising price for shipping refuse to landfills and incinerators outside the city.
The recycling diversion rate—the share of the total waste stream set out for recycling collection, rather than disposal—has never fully returned to its pre-suspension level. Including collection, IBO projects that the total cost per ton of handling refuse for disposal will be approximately $167 per ton in 2008, while the total cost per ton of recycling will be approximately $206. "I grew up around the business with my dad, but my degree and work experience is in business and finance," says David. The shredding plant is the biggest ticket investment United Milwaukee has made, but it is not the only one. The other important investment will continue to be in people, says Art, who also emphasizes the United of Milwaukee’s management style.

MBA believes the adoption of restrictions on specific elements would benefit from a phase-in period for recycled material to avoid inhibiting efforts to close the loop. Update. DSNY attributes the decline to lower newspaper readership (circulation of major dailies has steadily declined) and to more food and other producers shifting from glass containers to non-recyclable plastics. You just need to find one or more waste materials that are being discarded that can be reused, resold, or recycled. Rick and his father Morrie helped build two separate Milwaukee scrap businesses, Standard Scrap Metal and Milwaukee Scrap Metal. "We were very much in favor of the BID district; we’re active with them to try to make this a better area.". For example, in San Jose, California, the institute says it originally cost $28 to send a ton of waste to the landfill while it ⦠But local advantages include knowing local customers and staying close to them and being able to reach quick decisions. These materials are processed and reused for various projects. According to the latest figures (from 2014) published by the EPA, in the United States, about 258 million tons of municipal solid waste were generated, over 89 million tons of which were recycled and composted. Reality: The acceptance of glass in recycling programs varies by jurisdiction. Starting from that base, a 10 percent increase in the capture rate would achieve a 25 percent diversion rate. United can play a part by offering upgraded landscaping and signage, notes Art, but most importantly by providing jobs to neighborhood residents. The company is praised by its customers for its willingness to custom-build and install precisely what is needed to fit in with the unique layouts and applications that exist in the recycling industry. "We were very much in favor of the BID district; we’re active with them to try to make this a better area." Some of the new employees have been added as a result of acquisitions that United has made. Currently, the total import duty and VAT for plastics being imported into China is about 27 percent. List of Disadvantages of Recycling. 15. Dual stream can offer lower processing fees, reduced contamination, better quality materials, better market access and higher prices and closer ties between processor and end markets. V. Production Costs Not recycling has effects on more than just the environment: it affects energy costs. It’s not just the shredder, but better forklifts, better cranes—we’ve invested from $8 to $10 million in operations in the last three years. "They are an absolutely first-class organization; they make it look easy and they are low key about it.". Recycling it? Contamination is a serious issue in recycling, impacting businesses and exports as well as our planet. In this article, you will learn about the types of costs associated in a project, which are then explained by using examples. Types of Plastic Plastic #1 – PETE or PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Picked up by most curbside recycling programs, plastic #1 is usually clear and used to make soda and water bottles. On one hand, it can be altered for reuse. Based on the forecast for waste tonnage in the most recent Preliminary Mayor’s Management Report, IBO projects the cost to rise to approximately $79 per ton this year and more than $83 per ton in 2008. The manufacturing costs of fresh raw materials are off the roof because of the tremendous energy demand to separate the resource from the other non-useful components of the trash. 0.40
Our goal is to turn our inventory over 12 to 18 times per year. Recycling, recovery and reprocessing of waste materials for use in new products. Contrary to popular belief, they are not opposites; Rather one is the consequence of the other. Standard Scrap handled enough volume to have outgrown several smaller locations before settling into a large former potato chip factory in central Milwaukee. When business managers and analysts refer to consolidation, what they often have in mind is an effort by investment bankers and large, public companies to acquire market share rapidly. Recycling in Japan (リサイクル, Risaikuru), an aspect of waste management in Japan, is based on the Japanese Container and Packaging Recycling Law.

Sharing the risk of marketing commoditiesso as to obtain a desirable unit processing fee.
The headquarters of United Milwaukee Scrap, as well as much of its operating equipment and retail business, is located in a north central Milwaukee neighborhood centered on West 30th Street. The two companies did a good job of that. While overall the amount of recycled plastics is relatively small—three million tons for a 8.7 percent recycling rate in 2018—the recycling of some specific types of plastic containers is more significant. 15. But as it does with paper recyclers, Hustler Conveyor considers its primary task as listening to customers for what they need, and then delivering. Recycling preserves valuable natural resources for the good and longevity of the planet. Used rejected clothes can be a good raw material for the recycling business.

Plastics are imported mainly through the Chinese ports of Guangzhou (2.5 million metric tons, or 42 percent), Shenzhen (1 million metric tons, or 19 percent), Shanghai (630,000 metric tons, or 11 percent), Ningbo (407,000 metric tons, or 7 percent), Tianjin (400,000 metric tons, or 7 percent), Qingdao (285,000 metric tons, or 5 percent), Huangpu (236,000 metric tons, or 4 percent), Shantou (79,000 metric tons, or 1 percent) and Dalian (70,000 metric tons, or 1 percent), while other Chinese ports import a total of 215,000 metric tons, or 3 percent, of secondary plastics, according to T&T Group and PRC-CPPIA. The cost of picking up and transporting recyclables can range from $20 to $70 per ton, depending on the length and difficulty of the recycling truck routes, and the budget also has to consider the energy cost of the fossil fuels burned to run Such strategies might include: 1. In turn, the company received a "Business of the Year" award from the neighborhood Sherman Park Association. Businesses recognized this, saw they could produce aluminum cheaper by recycling, and so were willing to pay for scrap aluminum. Composting.

Recycling Costs A Lot More Money Than You Might Think It costs $300 more to process one ton of recycling in New York City than it would cost to take those same materials to a landfill. GMP holds a recycling license and plastic scrap import permit, which are not typical of most recycling operations in China. 8175
Not one bolt that didn’t fit like it was supposed to. Use this example from one of our facility management clients if you still need convincing: Proposed Payback Period for Recycling Program Investment Organization has 1,800 employees Equipment Cost $48,500.00
Our analysis includes only DSNY spending, based on our programmatic presentation of the Department of Sanitation budget ("Analysis of the Mayor’s Preliminary Budget for 2008 and Financial Plan through 2011"; March 2007, p. 50), and includes only direct program costs of recycling and refuse management without allocation of administrative and support costs. U.S. collection grows from 1.2 billion cans in 1972 to more than 62 billion cans in 1995 through curbside recycling programs and more than 10,000 recycling centers.

Scrap industry consolidation meets the “friends and family” plan at United Milwaukee Scrap LLC. ", Shawn Guttersen of BLT Enterprises, which operates MRFs in Sacramento and Fremont, Calif., sees the same qualities. Myth: All types of glass bottles and jars are recyclable. Again holding the diversion rate constant at 40 percent, the single-stream method costs only $32.86 per household for every-other-week collection, compared to $54.40 for weekly collection a 40 percent reduction in collection costs. Out of those, about 75 billion are recycled. If the new Office of Recycling Outreach and Education—created by the city council last fall as a condition for approval of the city’s Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP)—succeeds in promoting recycling, the cost gap could narrow even more. After three years in development and having just started its third fiscal year in October 2006, Silver Lining turned a profit in only its second year of operation. In the U.S., landfill space is generally cheaply available, which means that the cost of recycling can exceed the cost of landfill waste disposal in many places. The president and general manager of Silver Lining Tire Recycling of Wyandotte, Mich., had used a tire shredder manufactured by Columbus McKinnon Corp., Sarasota, Fla., at a prior business, so he was already familiar with the equipment’s capabilities.
