4. Project Focus ISO14001: Reduce waste to landfill 10%, increase recycling by 10% RDC-1 8-Step problem solving process http://www.iso.org/iso/home/name_and_logo.htm

5. Decision Matrix

6. RDC-1 Paper, vinyl, polyester, polypropylene, coated cloth (cotton and nylon), polyamide, polyethylene, ink, rubber and acrylic adhesives

7. ScaffTag

8. Ink Containers

9. Cost Analysis RDC-1 – Currently $100/ton for landfill disposal – Lowest waste to energy option=$30/ton=saving $1050/year for one machine – Potential to expand

10. Cost Analysis ScaffTag – Currently spending $100/ton for landfill disposal – Recycle @ $0.38/lb=$1,413/year revenue in addition to $186 cost avoidance – Potential to expand to other vinyl scrap

11. Cost Analysis Ink Containers – Used to pay $100/ton for landfill disposal – Compliance-$235/barrel for hazardous disposal ($940/year) – Now, recycle @ $0.38/lb=$500/year revenue

12. GHG Calculations Vinyl – 4 MTCO2E Ink Containers – 1.5 MTCO2E RDC-1 – 200 MBTU – 18 MTCO2E (based on MSW figures) – Waste to energy=less emissions than oil and coal
