2 The Green Benefit to Cities A recent Mckinsey study showed that: Cities in the developing world account of 70% if all energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Cities with sustainable programs are more productive, cleaner, and safer showing that the goals of economic growth and climate change can work together. The investment could break even after three to five years, and generate an internal rate of return of 18 30%. The green technologies could reduce annual energy costs by 24 36% and reduce GHG emissions by 28 49%.

3 Glass The Ugly Duckling of Recycling

4 In the U.S, we re throwing away $900,000,000 each year in glass that s landfilled unnecessarily In the US, 75% of all glass that enters the waste stream ends up in the landfill

5 California has the best glass recycling program California generates approximately 1,100,000 tons of waste glass 77% of that glass is collected 850,000 Tons Per CalRecycle 400,000 tons were processed by the container and fiberglass industry Estimate based of bill AB ,000 tons went to the landfill 64% Total based on 250,000 tons not collected & 450,000 that was collected The program was based on the assumption that the only after market for glass was the container and fiberglass market. 5

6 Traditional Glass Recycling Current recyclers rely on optical sorting to separate color Which is then sent to a furnace to be melted

7 Solution New technology now allows us to pulverize and sanitize 100% of the glass in the recycling stream without washing or burning

8 Harvesting Amorphous Silica

9 Industrial Minerals Profit Premium Markets High-Performance Pozzolans Coatings Specialty Markets Abrasives Water Filtration Commodity Markets Fiberglass Concrete Bottle Foam Glass Niche / Emerging Markets

10 Pozzolan in concrete Reduces risk of Silicosis Reduces landfilled glass Eliminates exposure to heavy metals Reduces energy needed to melt Reduces carbon dioxide emissions Slows the disappearance of sand Eliminates harmful chemicals in food Produces cleaner water

11 Greenhouse Gas Reduction in California GHG Reduction from Beverage Industry Potential GHG reduction from glass in Concrete Collected Cullet - 850,000 tons Collected Cullet (per CalRecycle) - 850,000 tons Expected Cullet use 400,000 tons Expected Cullet use (47% of production) 400,000 tons Ratio of cullet used to GHG - 6 to 1 Ratio of cullet used to GHG - 1 to 1 Annual Reduction of GHG 67,000 tons Annual Reduction of GHG 400,000 tons Annual Potential Market 400,000 tons Portland Cement supplies 30M tons in CA. Annual Potential Market 6 to 9 M tons 11

12 Other Commodity Markets Market Impact Beach Sand Restoration Slows the disappearance of the world s 2 nd largest commodity sand. (sand-wars.com) Blasting Abrasives Replace carcinogenic coal slag with glass abrasives in sand blasting applications Use Amorphous Silica as a replacement for Crystalline Silica (ordinary sand) Minimize risk of Silicosis a respiratory disease caused by inhaling Crystalline Silica dust Feedstock for Foam Glass Lightweight aggregate for construction Use glass in water filtration markets Cleaner water due to the natural negative charge of the glass Replacement for Diatomaceous Earth Use as a natural pesticide in agriculture 12

13 Evolution of the Clean Glass Process Pilot Plant Richfield Springs NY Source Separated Momentum Recycling, Salt Lake City, Utah Single Stream Tricentris, Quebec Single Stream Next Generation 20 TPH Facility 13

14 Deployment Strategy 14

15 Public Private Partnership Local Government is ultimately responsible for recycling and disposal of the glass. Local Government Local Government is responsible for the environment and sustainability. Local Government is responsible for public infrastructure, cleaner safer products and to stimulate local economic development 15

16 Public Private Partnership Opportunity - Example How Can Local Government Support Sustainable Programs: Local support for location of facility Local support for use of products Provide support from local political leaders Local support in the form of low cost loans Local support for the request of California State loan programs Sample of Loan Programs that Cities can take Advantage of: Recycling Market Development Zone - up to $2M California Pollution Control Financing Authority Bonds (CPCFA) EB5 Program SBA Loans 504 & 7A 16

17 Benefits to Local Government Perpetual revenue stream Increased value of glass in the waste stream should reduce cost to the Municipality Reduction of landfill costs Long-term infrastructure savings due to 100 year concrete Development of environmentally friendly products Job Creation and Economic stimulation to the local economy Dramatic reduction the Greenhouse Gas Emissions 17
