ISRI 2017 Annual Convention & Exposition

Recycling Research Foundation Meeting Minutes

Saturday, April 22, 2017 Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

New Orleans, LA

1. Call to Order and Roll Call President Mike Hinsey called the meeting to order at 4:11 p.m. The following were in attendance:

2. Board of Officers Present Mike Hinsey (President) Margie Erinle (Treasurer) Brian Henesey (Executive Committee Liaison) Tom Rice (Chapter President) Mel Wright (Chapter President) Paul Brenner (Appointed Director) Greg Dixon (Appointed Director) Randy Goodman (Vice President)

Kip Vincent (Appointed Director) Kyle Vincent John Bianculli Thomas Boundy Natasha Grant (Staff Liaison) Rachel Bookman (Staff) Bob Ensinger (Staff)

3. Review of Anti-Trust Guideline and Webinar Procedures

Vice President Randy Goodman explained the purpose of the antitrust guideline. 4. Approval of January 2017 Minutes

Minutes from the January 2017 meeting were presented. A motion was made and seconded to approve. The motion carried unanimously. Goodman asked for feedback and comments on January’s virtual meeting. There was extended discussion about the virtual meeting and the challenges the format presented. Comments included “it saved a lot of money”; “better than no meeting”; “little too drawn out;” and “too easy to get distracted during the meeting.” It was also suggested that a virtual meeting would be good for the summer board meetings. There was near unanimous agreement to avoid such a process in the future.

5. Financials

Margie Erinle presented the financials as of March 31, 2017. Erinle made note that there weren’t many contributions sent in from chapters, and reminded chapters when sending in their chapter scholarship checks to make sure “Scholarship” is listed on the checks. Ohio Valley chapter noted that they have suspended their scholarship program. Hinsey requested a motion to approve the financials. The motion carried with no opposition.

6. Grant

Goodman explained to the board the purpose of the research grant and the history behind offering the grant. In theory, grant should be given to research that would be for the greater good of the industry. Goodman decided to table the grant request from The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth and talk to the applicant to find out more about their intentions. Goodman also requested that a subcommittee be created to vet the grant request before they are presented to the board. Mel Wright spoke to the RCoT and the Houston Area Scrap Dealers application. The request was for $50,000 from RRF. The funds will be applied to the collection, analyzing the data, and hiring subject matter experts. Wright motioned that the grant be passed as presented. Tom Rice seconded the motion. Discussion took place and the motion was passed to fund $50,000 to the Houston Recyclers Task Force as presented in the application.

7. Scholarships Hinsey introduced Thomas Boundy to the Board. Boundy was the 2016 RRF National Scholarship recipient.

8. Veterans Stipend

Thoughts on how to engage more applicants for the Veterans’ Stipend were discussed. Board tasked Bob Ensinger on reaching out to the USO and Red Cross as possible ways to reach the target market.

9. Silent Auction Update Staff Liaison Natasha Grant thanked everyone for their donations to the silent auction. There were 61 items, valued over $65,000 donated to the auction. A sign-up sheet to volunteer at the auction was passed around the room.

10. Old Business

a. RRF 50th Anniversary This was tabled until the summer meeting in July

b. Vice President Position Hinsey announced that Randy Goodman accepted the Vice President position.

11. New Business

No new business.

12. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:05 p.m.

Counsel, for review prior to proposal to the Board.

A motion was made and seconded to table the above motion recommending changes to

Bylaws Sections 9.2 and 9.3 regarding chapter dues and assessments as indicated above.

No further discussion. Motion passes.

4. Committee/Division Reports – Not Requiring Board Action

Trade Committee

Chair Lewon introduced Mr. Randy Goodman, Vice Chair of the Trade Committee, who presented

the report of the Committee. Mr. Goodman reported that at the Trade Committee meeting, a speaker

from the Department of Commerce (ITA) discussed the trade policies of the Trump Administration

and possible effects on the recycling industry. Mr. Goodman also indicated that a survey will be sent

out shortly to determine the interest of members in participating in a future trade mission.

Ms. Adina Adler, ISRI’s Senior Director of Government Relations and International Affairs,

reported that the Department of Commerce will be holding a hearing on May 24 regarding the

Section 232 Investigation of Steel Imports on National Security and that comments are due by May

31. ISRI will be submitting public comments for the written record.

Mr. Goodman also reported that ISRI is working with several Indian Trade Associations, as well as

the Indian government, to potentially revise some of the ISRI specifications to meet their

requirements of the Indian trade.

Audit Committee

Chair Lewon introduced Mr. David Borsuk, Chair of the Audit Committee, who presented the report

of the Committee. Mr. Borsuk asked all the chapter presidents to relay to their treasurers the

importance of getting their chapter financial information in quarterly. He also stated the importance

of new treasurers attending the Chapter Treasurer Training program.

Ferrous Division

Chair Lewon introduced Mr. Greg Dixon, Chair of the Ferrous Division, who presented the report of

the Division. Mr. Dixon reported that the Ferrous Division will be forming a working group to

study, and possibly develop, Best Practices for Standard Contract Terms for Ferrous Metals. Mr.

Dixon stated that he will be chairing the group and asked for volunteers to join him.

Council of Chapter Presidents

Chair Lewon introduced Mr. Mel Wright, Co-Chair of the Council of Chapter Presidents, who

presented the report of the Council. Mr. Wright presented a list of comments and concerns from the

Council of Chapter Presidents regarding the restructuring of the chapters as currently proposed by

the ISRI Planning Committee. He stated that the comments are a collective representation of the

Council, stating that they feel that there is more work to be done in order to convince most chapter

presidents and their members that this new structure is the right decision. Mr. Wright presented

several concerns that the Council feels needs further investigation:

1. Concerns of added staff to the organization and costs.

2. Was decision made on how treasury balances of the existing chapters will be treated in the

new structure as well as structure for dues and assessments?

3. Will chapters lose autonomy in regards to state lobbying efforts?

The Council feels that these are just a few topics that need further investigation prior to going to the

Board with a recommendation. Chair Lewon stated that the Planning Committee is meeting at the

end of May to continue the work of the committee and will certainly discuss these concerns.

ISRI Resources

Chair Lewon introduced Mr. Joel Denbo, Chair of ISRI Resources, who presented the report of the

ISRI Resources Board. Mr. Denbo reported that current data now shows that ISRI members are

better insurance risks than non-ISRI members based on loss histories.

There was some discussion regarding the problem with lithium batteries causing fires at MRF’s. Mr.

Scott Miller stated that the Safe Operations Committee has a task force that is dedicated to fire

prevention, and lithium batteries will be a key part in the discussions.

5. Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.

ISRI Position on Accelerated or Bonus Depreciation Tax Allowances1 Overview The scrap recycling industry is a capital intensive industry. The scrap recycling industry invested nearly

$9 billion in recycling equipment in the US between 2006 and 2011 that included processing, sorting,

and handling equipment. Accelerated or bonus deprecation enables recyclers to buy and deploy new

equipment with improved technologies sooner and operate with greater efficiency. Tax allowances also

help the development of new technologies that enables the processing of scrap materials that otherwise

would be difficult to process into higher quality commodities.

It is the position of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) that: Accelerated depreciation has proven to be extremely effective and is, in effect, a change in timing, rather than an actual credit, or reduction in taxes collected. Tax allowances such as accelerated depreciation should be pursued to encourage scrap processors to purchase new and/or innovative equipment to process scrap materials into higher quality commodity-grade feedstocks for manufacturing. Tax allowances should also be pursued to enable scrap processors to consume larger quantities of recyclables or for truly experimental or innovative processing equipment designed to collect and process materials which are currently not being recycled, or are technologically challenged in terms of recycling. ISRI should pursue opportunities to continue the permanent status of accelerated depreciation or bonus depreciation allowances that have been so effective in accordance with section 179 of the IRS code.

ISRI Position on Scrap Tire Design for Recycling®1 Overview The tire recycling industry is led by ISRI members who have explored innovative ways to utilize recycled tires as a raw material for manufacturing new products. By promoting such use, they have effectively developed processes that have turned what could have otherwise become waste into a specification grade recycled commodity. Tire processors have become aware of situations where some tires due to their manufacturing processes are not recyclable. These tires contain fillers, additives and other components that cause problems during the tire recycling process. Tires designed and released into the marketplace that do not take into consideration resource awareness, societal health and safety, and end-of-life management can be considered “Designed for Landfill.” Due to the difficulty of finding end markets for these tires, processors may not have many options for their management and will to send them to a landfill. Of all the strategies for managing scrap tires, landfilling is the least sustainable and desirable option. ISRI acknowledges the tire manufacturing industry’s concern for sustaining the quality and safety of its products as well as their need to explore opportunities during product design that might help increase its performance and safety. ISRI’s Position on Design for Recycling® seeks to balance this need with the ability for recyclers to maximize the yield of recoverable materials at the end of life. Accordingly, it is the position of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) that:

Tire manufacturers that embrace Design for Recycling® in their manufacturing process will help promote resource awareness, environmental conservation, and a vibrant and open marketplace for specification grade recycled rubber.

A lack of forewarning of new products, or the creation of products that are not easily recycled, could put investments in infrastructure that the tire recycling industry has made at risk.

Tires should be discouraged from being landfilled if there are other more sustainable options available.

A joint working group between recyclers and manufacturers would help advance the concepts of Design for Recycling®. Scrap recyclers do not seek proprietary information on manufacturing processes. Rather, scrap recyclers are looking for an open dialogue that will help them make appropriate business decisions regarding future investments in equipment for processing such tires as well as the exploration of new markets and technologies.


ISRI Position on the Use of Degradable Additives in Plastic Packaging1

Overview Degradable additives are chemical compounds that are often incorporated in conventional plastics such polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) during the converting process from polymer pellets to final products. The purpose of these additives is to make non-degradable plastics “bio-degradable”, “oxo-degradable” or “photo degradable”. There may be confusion within the marketplace on the use of these terms in relation to their use in plastic products. Such terms as used in relation to its use with a plastic item may not be supported by tests conducted by third parties using standards and protocols as those published by ASTM, ISO and other standard making bodies. Further, plastics that contain degradable additives can harm plastic recycling as these additives may be mixed unknowingly with non-degradable plastic and cause the resulting feedstock to be significantly compromised. Therefore ISRI:

Suggests any claims as to the use of terms “bio-degradable”, “oxo-degradable”, “photo-degradable” and other terms that indicate the plastic is easily degraded be supported by independent third party research and testing using accepted standard methods and specifications published by ASTM, ISO or other standard making bodies;

Suggests the introduction of products that contain degradable additives does not harm or compromise currently acceptable recycling practices, recycled material product expectations, and the affiliated recycling infrastructure;

Suggests that such additives do not encourage or excuse poor consumer behavior such as littering;


ISRI Position on Free and Fair Trade1

Overview:

The scrap recycling industry is the first link in the global manufacturing supply chain and is thus is

dependent upon both a healthy manufacturing base and access to global markets. The need for market-

based movement of scrap commodities across borders is a critical pillar to the recycling industry’s

success, as well as to the success of the manufacturing economy.

The only way to maintain price and supply stability in the global marketplace for scrap commodities is to

allow those materials to trade freely and fairly.

As part of its role in encouraging free and fair trade, ISRI is an important forum for information exchange

and education on issues related to free and fair trade of scrap commodities and recycling equipment.

ISRI undertakes activities in that pursuit, including, but not limited to: gathering and disseminating

information regarding new, revised and existing government regulations; gathering and documenting

information pertaining to export and import transactions (whether conducted with or without

problems) to monitor trends; and raising documented issues of industry-wide unfair or illegal trade

practices with the appropriate government(s) agency(ies)

It is the position of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. to: –

Support and facilitate free and fair trade;

Support trade agreements that encourage free and fair trade;

Support export and import laws and regulations and encourage them to be consistent

with ISRI’s globally accepted specifications;

Advocate for initiatives that enable the efficient movement of commodities through the

global supply chain;

Oppose unfair or illegal trade practices.

ISRI Position on Recyclable Materials Theft1

Overview

The unintentional purchase of stolen materials has, for many years, been a risk present in recycling. The

problem arises not from any act or omission by individual members of the industry, but instead, from

the types of materials that it handles. In order to recycle the vast quantities of materials that are

required by the industries that manufacture new products from recyclable materials, and to assure that

recyclable materials do not end up in landfills or litter the landscape, members of the recycling industry

purchase, process, and sell hundreds of thousands of tons of commodities every day. These

commodities consist of millions of separate items that must be handled quickly, efficiently, and in large

volumes. Identification of suspect items is made difficult because recyclable materials are purchased not

as specific items, but rather by weight. From time to time, it is possible that stolen property will find its

way into the millions of items that make up the commodities legitimately handled each day by members

of the recycling industry.

It is the position of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) that, with respect to the

purchase of recyclable materials:

The purchase of materials that are known by the company to be stolen must not be tolerated;

In cooperation with appropriate authorities and affected parties, each member of the recycling industry, along with law enforcement and the affected community, should take positive steps to reduce the risk of the unintentional purchase of stolen materials.

During the course of daily operations, each member of the industry needs to be aware of the potential

for inadvertent or unintentional purchase of stolen materials. The theft of recyclable materials is a

community problem - not just a recycling industry problem - extending well beyond the boundaries of

ISRI members’ recycling facilities.

Each member of the recycling industry is urged to:

Familiarize themselves with and follow applicable state and local statutes and regulations regarding the purchase of recyclable materials.

Continue to be involved in the community served.

Be aware of the types of materials frequently stolen.

Communicate and work cooperatively with community leaders, law enforcement officials and their agencies, and members of the community most often affected by these thefts to inform them about the scrap recycling industry, its operations, and its requirements, and develop programs designed to reduce the theft of recyclable materials.


Because this is an issue requiring the cooperative efforts of community leaders, law enforcement

officials and their agencies, and members of the community who have been or could be victimized by

the theft of recyclable materials, all affected parties are urged to:

Take steps within their own organizations and communities to adopt improved security measures to reduce the opportunity for theft of recyclable materials and advise the recycling industry, as soon as possible, in their community when such thefts do occur utilizing ScrapTheftAlert.com or other methods.

Work in cooperation with members of the recycling industry to resolve the problems caused by the thefts of recyclable materials in their community.

Understand and appreciate the unique nature and requirements of the recycling industry and its operations.

Vigorously apprehend and prosecute those responsible for thefts.

It is only through the active cooperation of the entire community that the problems presented by the

theft of recyclable materials can be addressed successfully.

ISRI Position on the Use of Rubberized Asphalt in Road Construction1 Overview This position was adopted by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. (ISRI) Board of Directors at the behest of the Tire & Rubber Division as a way to encourage the wide spread use of rubberized asphalt. Rubberized asphalt is a crumb rubber market that adds tremendous value to processed tire rubber and has the potential to consume millions of scrap tires on a nationwide basis. It is the position of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. that: Rubberized asphalt provides a safer, smoother and quieter road surface while at the same time providing fiscal and environmental benefits to the communities that utilize it. Accordingly, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc. supports legislation that:

• Seeks to expand the use of rubberized asphalt as the preferred material of choice when evaluating alternatives for a conventional asphalt surface project;

• Requires standards and specifications that would allow rubberized asphalt to be used whenever possible and;

• Seeks to reduce carbon emissions and climate change through the use of rubberized asphalt.

The justification for using rubberized asphalt are many. Among these advantages are:

• The reduction in road noise

• Is environmentally friendly – the use of scrap tires can minimize the creation of tire piles. The use of :

• rubberized asphalt also provides a significant reduction in the production of carbon emissions.2

• Is cost effective – considerable savings can be achieved when looking at the entire life cycle of a project. Rubberized asphalt has shown to be more durable and resistant to cracking and rutting. This translates to lower maintenance costs.3

• Is safer – Over time, rubberized asphalt makes roads safer by allowing an open grade friction course to last longer. The safety characteristics of OGFC allow precipitation to drain through the road significantly reducing salt and water spray. This enhances driver vision and allows better control of the vehicle during slick driving conditions.
