1 WSRA Conference & Trade Show May 4-7, 2014 Composting Infrastructure & Materials Mary Harrington, WA State Dept. of Ecology Patrick Belzberg, ABM Jennifer Lao, Resource Recycling Systems From janitorial programs in support of zero waste to a review of materials collected and what it takes to collect and process them, we will review some of the opportunities and challenges faced in collecting and composting commercial food waste.
2 Improving the WA Organics Management Infrastructure: From Backyards to High Tech Waste: the failure to use something wisely, properly, fully, or to good effect Mary Harrington Department of Ecology WSRA 2014
3 Change our Terminology Waste is the failure to use something wisely, properly, fully, or to good effect If organics are being diverted to productive end uses, they are resources not waste
4 WA Municipal Organics History 1988: almost ZERO collected yard debris 2012: > 509,000 tons collected yard debris Composting operations opened or expanded to manage materials Through the 1990 s composting yard debris chugged along food diversion programs really got going
5 Food Scraps and Yard Trims Combined : Amount of food and comingled food and yard debris composted jumped from 59,359 tons to 252,534 tons
6 WA Composting Capacity 2012, Y&G debris and (all) food reported composted: 812,673 tons 2012, Y&G debris and food residuals disposed: 962,917 tons Permitted composting capacity: ~1.3 million tons*** WA composting capacity is short by about 500,000 tons
7 Focus on FOOD 1/3 of food produced worldwide is wasted (1.3 billion tons) 40% of food produced in the US is wasted (70 million tons) 83% of GHG emissions created during production 2012 Washington facilities composted over 200,000 tons of food scraps* 2012 an estimated 729,882 tons of food were disposed in WA
8 Also Wasted Water: 25% of all fresh water used to grow food we won t eat Fuel: 4% of total US oil consumption (300 million barrels) wasted Land: Millions of acres wasted Money: $165 Billion wasted
9 Reducing the Waste Educational programs like EPA s Residential Food Too Good To Waste and Commercial Food Waste Challenge Smart shopping education Smart storage education Food Donation programs Thurston County, WA
10 After Waste Reduction On-site management At home Commercial Operations Emerging technologies Send it Away Commercial composting Anaerobic Digestion WWTP Fuel CHP Emerging technologies
11 The Ideal
12 The Reality
13 Clean Up What s Collected Contaminants gumming up the works Know products and how they perform Compostable Biodegradable Biobased Degradable Educate: It Never Ends Monitor for contamination at the curb (Think of China s Green Fence )
14 Collection Process RFP s and Contracts Visual assessments Penalties Back-up options for heavily contaminated carts Contingency plan for material EDUCATION for Residents and Haulers
15 Beyond Composting: Investing in Diversity Not enough existing composting capacity Hard to site new composting facilities Food is highly putrescible so highly acidic when dumped at compost facility Need to diversify our options
16 Investing in Diversity Support/Implement local government programs backyard DIY composting Grants for bins, studies, education Build partnerships Evaluate existing options Know your food donation programs Anaerobic digesters at WWTP and Dairies Other conversion opportunities
17 Options Small
18 Options Big
19 Be Open To new/not so new technologies/uses Small / Medium scale digesters Biochar Conversion LID uses Peat replacement Chemistry
20 Using current terms when promoting programs GHG Climate Change Water Protection Water Conservation Carbon Sequestration (No one talks enough about topsoil loss!)

32 Minimization of Byproduct Waste Impact on Site Waste Stream Coreless restroom paper towels Reusable microfiber towels Electrolyzed water systems Use of chemical concentrates and automated onsite dilution stations 383 million sf of ABM GreenCare Implementation Publically report our environmental impact Site Waste Audits Solid Waste and Recycling program tracing and reporting Waste Consulting 32
33 Success Stories in WA State Since 2012: 2 dedicated full-time Sustainability Managers 5 LEED APs, 3 LEED GAs on staff 4 full-time entry-level recycling jobs created Currently composting restroom paper towels in over 1,250 Seattle area restrooms daily Running 3 separate onsite waste sorting programs in region Publicly report our environmental impact through a GPI based CSR report Offering Electrolyzed Water Cleaning Systems to Pacific Northwest Developed award winning recycling programs for many WA facilities Industry recycling awards and recognition 33
34 Janitorial RFPs for Recycling Assign responsibilities internally or build management into contract Set long-term Green Goals Choose providers who can deliver Build into performance metrics Actual RFP Examples: Provide two examples of proposer s experience implementing Environmental Stewardship principles in the delivery of janitorial services for clients of similar size and scope. Describe plans to support client's waste minimization goals and demonstrate commitment to client s environmental stewardship program. 34
35 Waste Sorting Video to be played during discussion ABM Onsite Waste Sorting Service Impactful Quantifiable Triple Bottom Line Proven Successful Seamless Integration
36 Waste Sorting Market Trends Industry Reporting CSR Reporting LEED/Zero Waste Certification Facility Costs Management Multi-Tenant Charge Backs Municipal Recycling Mandates Industry Recognition and Progression City of Seattle: 75% MSW diversion goal by 2025 MSW rate increase of 14% in 2012 MSW rate increase of 16% in $156/MSW ton, approx. 3xs national average More compostable packaging options accepted by Cedar Grove than ever before City of Portland: Goal of 75% MSW diversion by 2015 $95 - $119/ MSW ton City of San Francisco Reported 80% MSW diversion in 2012, leading all North American cities Mandatory recycling and composting ORD No $147/MSW ton 36
37 Waste Sorting Objectives Exceed diversion objectives by removing 100% of divertables Proven to raise a facility s diversion rate 15-35% overnight Minimum of 50-60% of trash bag contents can be diverted Impacted by area recycling vendor capabilities, infrastructure and operations Reduction site waste hauling fees Costs offset significantly, in some cases 100% cost-neutral Support site Commodity Rebate/Universal/Sharps/Reuse/E-Waste operations Shield against contamination fees and future disposal rate increases Exemplary Performance in facility waste management Create Zero Waste certified facilities Industry recognition and awards with potential to earn additional LEED credit(s) Most advanced solid waste and recycling program available 37
38 ABM Case Study WA High-Tech Client Implemented an onsite trash sorting program Increased recycling rates by 20-25%/building overnight Created 2.5 FTE positions Program costs offset by 90% ABM employees sort over 3,000 lbs of waste each day and divert additional 30 tons each month from local landfills 38
39 Waste Sorting: Cost By The Numbers Labor costs offset by approximately 90%! 39
40 Waste Sorting: Diversion by the Numbers Diversion increase of approximately 25% overnight! 40
41 Pushing the program further.. 41
42 Waste Sorting Considerations Current site equipment and infrastructure start-up costs Waste hauling vendor contracts and capabilities Integration and expansion of current recycling operations Janitorial contract terms and additional waste consulting services Time Action TBD TBD TBD TBD 1 Week ABM Employee Training X 1 Week Order PPE and Source Equipment X 1 Week Pilot Program Implementation X 2 Weeks Installation of any start-up infrastructure X X 4 Weeks Table Shipping, implementation of hauling routes and sorting schedules X X X X How does it apply to your site High Rise, Schools, Municipal Buildings, Multifamily, etc. 42
