Background
With the onset of the Universal Recycling Law, Casella sought to plan, develop and deploy a depackaging facility that would meet Vermont’s sustainability goals.
• Environmental sustainability – reduced embedded carbon footprint resulting from:
• Proximity to transfer station and digester outlet by looking at the entire embedded carbon footprint of any of our tasks.
• Backhauling of gray water from the digester to mix with food waste to create slurry, reducing water consumption and hauling.
• Economic sustainability – to ensure long-term economic viability, the facility is designed to handle growing volumes as needed:
• Currently the building is 6,045 sf with the land area to expand as the market conditions allow.
• Thor T42 can handle up to 160 tons per 8 hour shift.

State of the Art Solutions
• Track record providing stating of the art environmental technology starting with the first recycling facility in Vermont in the late seventies.
• Proposed depack facility represents some of the latest innovations in recycling and sustainable recovery of packaged products.
• Materials will be separated mechanically to achieve legal compliance, reduce labor, and disposal costs at the landfill.
• Material is processed locally, not trucked to the landfill thus saving fuel.
• Packaging can be recycled, incoming food waste is graded for quality and either made into animal feed or feedstock for anerobic digestion, then returned to the land resulting in a closed loop process.
• After the initial operating trials we will evaluate the expansion options with third party partners, similar to standard practice at our recycling MRF’s and disposal facilities

Material Sustainability: Fostering Highest and Best Use of Processed Materials
• Flexibility to process material for a variety of end uses.• Examples –
• Dry material for composting, clean food for animal feed, special high BOD blend for anerobic digestion.
• By processing material in batches we can also better control recycling options for packaging.
• Basis for baler in the operation (see plan)

Liquid Slurry Management
Liquid slurry will be remediated by PurposeEnergy, Inc.
• PurposeEnergy has five food waste anaerobic digester facilities in the State of Vermont that are operating or under development
• Organic substrates are biologically converted to biogas and used to produce renewable electricity
• Electricity is delivered to the grid pursuant to net metering rules and Standard Offer contracts

Strategic Partnership Considerations
• Partnerships with customers, the State and CSWD are key to the success of this facility.
• Long term environmental sustainability relies on private investment in infrastructure such as this to achieve Universal Recycling Law goals.
• Economy of scale limitations resulting from low population in Vermont.
• Viability of existing infrastructure investment can and will be influenced by the addition of redundancy, as has been the case with some anaerobic digestion developments in the state to date.
• We will carefully evaluate and consider participating on any and all depackagingRFP/RFQ’s that may come out in the future.
