There are four key advantages to handling separated materials (/) separated materials systems are far less labor-intensive than other collection schemes (as mentioned eadier, labor costs are the largest component of most recovery facihties operating expenses) (2) the equipment needed to handle separated material is relatively simple and inexpensive (J) source separation is often the only method of resource recovery suitable for small communities ... 

Refuse-Derived Fuel. Many processing faciUties divert a portion of the material that is not recovered for recycling to waste-to-energy plants, also referred to as resource recovery faciUties, where the material is employed as fuel. The processes involved in the production of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) are outlined in Figure 4 (23). Nine different RDFs have been defined, as Hsted in Table 3 (24). There are several ways to prepare RDF-3, which is perhaps the most popular form and is the feed used in the preparation of densified refuse-derived fuel (d-RDF). AH forms of RDF are part of the broader set of waste-derived fuels (WDF), which includes various waste biomass, eg, from silvaculture or agriculture (see Fuels frombiomass Fuels fromwaste).

Kutrieb Corporation (Chetek, Wisconsin) operates a pyrolator process for converting tires into oil, pyrolytic filler, gas, and steel. Nu-Tech (Bensenvike, Illinois) employs the Pyro-Matic resource recovery system for tire pyrolysis, which consists of a shredding operation, storage hopper, char-coUection chambers, furnace box with a 61-cm reactor chamber, material-feed conveyor, control-feed inlet, and oil collection system. It is rated to produce 272.5 L oil and 363 kg carbon black from 907 kg of shredded tires. TecSon Corporation (Janesville, Wisconsin) has a Pyro-Mass recovery system that pyroly2es chopped tire particles into char, oil, and gas. The system can process up to 1000 kg/h and produce 1.25 MW/h (16).

Resource Recovery Act, 1970 The Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 was amended by Public Law 95-512, the Resources Recovery Ac4 of 1970. This act directed that the emphasis of the national solid-waste-management program should be shitted from disposal as its pri-maiy objective to that of recycling and reuse of recoverable materials in sohd wastes or the conversion of wastes to energy.

Photocopies of journal articles relating to the Unipet process for the recycling of PETP developed by United Resource Recovery Corp. Details are given of the process which enables contaminated PETP to be recycled by the use of caustic soda which reacts with the PETP to yield ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid, followed by heating and evaporation of the EG which reduces organic impurities to carbon dioxide and water and leaves solid terephthalic salt. Its implications for the industry are also discussed. 

The UnPET process for the depolymerisation of PETP has been developed by United Resouree Reeovery Corp. The proeess is elaimed to effieiently remove impurities present in post eonsumer PETP serap, even those present at a concentration of 40% or more. Key stages of the process whieh is proteeted by patent, are deseribed, and also details of the eompany s plans to invest over 5 million US dollars in a new faeility based on UnPET teehnology.

Materials recycling or resource recycling is essentially resource recovery, which is the means by which waste resources usually destined for disposal are used as secondary resources or secondary raw materials to serve as valued inputs to the economy, fulfilling both producer and consumer needs. Resource recycling, as has been pointed out, increases the supply of available material, and thereby offers a potentially attractive means of reducing... 

The CERCLA reauthorization regards off-site transport and disposal without treatment as the least favored alternative where practicable treatment technologies are available. It also favors the use of permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies or resource recovery technologies and using them to the maximum extent practicable.
