The article presents information on waste disposal from various industries across the world. RMD Americas of Cocoa, Florida will use processing equipment manufactured in Spain to shred and granulate tires into crumb rubber. According to a report in Scrap Tire News, RMD installed shredding equipment at Jai Tire Industries in Denver for applications that include top dressing on athletic fields and playground surfacing. Unlike many strip shredders for paper which require a two-step process for cross-cut consistency, the ReTecb RG52P rotary grinder performs that process in one pass. The unit processes a range of baled or loose materials including paper, cardboard, packaging waste and mixed papers. A company called Fonterra based in New Zealand has developed a label that can be recycled along with the plastic wrap that goes around pallets. AP-food technology. com reports that the firm has been working closely with Walker Datavision to create the label. The Biodegradable Products Institute announced its approval of "BioTuf" compostable bags from Heritage, which has targeted yard waste programs and food waste diversion markets.
