2 Today s Speakers Kara Pochiro APR Communications Director Steve Alexander APR Executive Director Liz Bedard Director APR Rigid Plastics Recycling Program

3 Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recylers (APR) National trade association - The Voice of Plastic Recycling Representing those companies with over 90% of the post-consumer plastic processing capacity in North America. The goal of APR is to increase the amount of plastic material recycled in North America

4 Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recylers (APR) Communications Committee *Information clearinghouse *Webinars & Fact Sheets *Annual Recycling Rate Reports Technical Committee *Design for Recyclability *Critical Guidance Documents *Model Bale Specifications Rigid Plastics Recycling Program *Plastic Recycling beyond Bottles

5 Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers (APR) Two ends of the equation Supply & Demand are in sync Missing - a nationally focused effort to expand plastics recycling beyond #1 and #2 bottles APR Rigid Plastics Recycling Program

6 APR Rigid Plastics Recycling Program Liz Bedard, Director

7 Overview of Presentation APR and the APR Rigids Program Overview of Phase 1 & 2 What, Why, Where and How APR National Grocery Rigid Plastics Campaign

8 Recycling plastics beyond #1 and #2 plastic bottles is an issue for individuals, recyclers, brand name companies, public policy maker, collectors, resin companies and reclaimers. Consumers want to recycle more plastics AND a wide variety of industries want more plastics recycled!

9 Two ends of the equation Supply & Demand are in sync Missing - a nationally focused effort to expand plastics recycling beyond #1 and #2 bottles APR Rigid Plastics Recycling Program

14 A SUPPLY FOCUSED PROJECT.. 1. Estimated annual volume & resin type of recyclable rigid plastics a. 354 million pounds annually b. Approximately 50% PP and 50% HDPE 2. Identified obstacles preventing future rigid plastics recycling

15 Best Operational Practices Two national grocery store chains (Representing approximately 8% of US stores) Pilots in one district for weeks Model educational material Various handling and processing methods tested Some pharmaceutical material collected

16 1. Maximizing Volume 2. Minimizing costs 3. Maximizing revenue 4. Addressing obstacles

26 WHY recycle rigid plastics? APR Grocery Store Rigid Plastics Study *US supermarkets (with annual sales of $2 million or more) generate huge quantities of rigid plastics very marketable rigid plastics Estimated Total 354 million pounds/year Easily recoverable 212 million #/yr (few sku #s, easily stacked) Bulky million #/year (bulky to handle ) *Over 90% of grocery rigid plastics is #5 PP and #2 HDPE

27 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Reduce Costs. *

28 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Recycling revenue.. *

29 WHY recycle rigid plastics? Sustainability goals.. Zero Waste giving away recycled feedstock consistent message

30 HOW TO recycle rigid plastics? Level 1 - New revenue and savings... Grocers recover, clean, stack and recycle in store rigid plastics. Level 2 Increase revenue and savings... Grocers include additional rigid plastics (pharmacy stock bottles, spools, etc.) Level 3 - Maximize revenue/savings potential Grocers install rigid plastic balers at their Distribution Centers
