$ORTING FOR VALUE

摘要

The APR Rigids Committee is pleased with the outcome of the Sort for Value Matrix. It will provide MRF operators and others with a solid base of information as they evaluate options for sorting rigid plastics. For those interested in learning more about the matrix, APR is holding a webinar in spring 2014 and more information will be available as the details are finalized. In addition, the APR Rigid Plastics Recycling Committee is looking at ways to expand the usefulness of the Sort for Value Matrix. Updated historic pricing may be key, so additional pricing surveys may be conducted. Also under consideration is the creation of an online calculator that would allow individuals to enter their own information on recyclable plastics scrap value and disposal costs (or use default data), thereby creating a customized decision-making tool based specifically on individual situations.
