  5. Other Content on Site SITE SEARCH MENUS

  6. 1. Policy • Definitions • ‘Waste’ classification is a hindrance • Better classify recycling/processing facilities • Variation in Applicability of Regulations • NESHAPs (interpretation, state/local regs) • Beneficial Use Determinations • Develop recommendations • Document benefits • Recycling vs. other management options • Incentivize • Grants, loans, demonstration projects • Local mandates, ordinances, diversion goals • Legislative initiatives (min landfilling)

  7. 2. Outreach & Education • Perception v. Reality - Asbestos • Make info available, communicate testing data • Communicate to local NESHAP authorities • Roofing Contractors • Encouraging separation • Awareness of alternatives • Connection to other Initiatives • Green Building, Roofs, Highways, etc. • Sustainability, resource conservation • Greenhouse gas reduction (WARM model) • Energy conservation • Take advantage of multi-stakeholder groups, initiatives (i.e., EPA, FHWA, RMRC)

  8. 3. Engineering • HMA Specifications • Increase % of RAS, optimize mixes • Collaboration (DOT pooled fund study) • IDOT/Tollway Authority test sections • Case studies, data from other markets • Processing/Grinding • Optimize grind size for different applications • Best practices (store, screen, sort, feed, contaminants) • Constantly evolving, keep updated • Tear-off • Best practices for roofing contractors • Maximize efficiency, minimize contamination

  9. 4. Environment • Asbestos • Best practices on testing, analysis, documentation, QA/QC • Leaching • Continue research on PAHs (UF study) • Air emissions • Asphalt plant (testing results available) • Energy recovery • Processing (dust, fiberglass, smoke)

  10. 4. Environment (cont) • Deal w/ bad operators (confidence) • Illegal stockpiles • Sham recyclers • Risk analysis • Total impacts, life cycle analysis • DNR ‘Degree of Hazard’ study • UNH study

  11. 5. Economics & Markets • Establish Incentives • Renewable energy credits • Documentation of energy, economic & greenhouse gas savings • Energy Recovery • Applications • Supply chain issues • Benefits, value of fuel • Replaces other fuels

  12. Next Steps • Designate leads • Follow up with interested parties • Forum subgroups • Develop workplans • Secure funding • Carry out projects • All documents, updates at www.shinglerecycling.org
