Rumpke Recycling
Philosophy• Recycling should be a cost-effective
alternative to waste disposal• Recycling should be comprehensive* • Recycling efforts must produce
quality, end-use materials*

Glass Recycling
Historic Challenges• Single-stream processor• Glass makes up over 15%• SWDs want glass included• High costs / low value• Limited access to mixed color
glass markets

2004 Glass Marketing Plan
Components• Vertically-integrated plan
for Rumpke plants• Internal generation of
40,000+ tons per year• Only produce “fine-grind”
for fiberglass insulation• Minimize transportation,
centrally located in Dayton, Ohio
2004 Glass Plant

Rumpke Glass Plant: 2004 to 2010
Six-Year Learning Curve• Product storage critical• Needed to expand beyond
fiberglass to container mkt.• New processing equipment• Additional sources of mixed
glass from outside generators

Rumpke Glass Plant 2011
Revised Operating Plan• Invested $3.2M in Binder+Co. company

Rumpke Glass Plant
Operational changes• 65% output to insulation• 35% output to containers• three(3) optical scanners• metal & ceramic detection• air separation to deal with
organic matter (LOI)

Rumpke Glass Plant
Raw Material• Rumpke Single-Stream MRFs
and Commercial plants• Solid Waste Districts
via roll-off & gaylords• Third-party MRF operators• Commercial and Retail
generators of container glass products (restaurants, bars)

Rumpke Glass Plant
Removing Contaminants• Manual sortation
plays important role• Utilized at both
Presort & Postsort • Postsort focus is quality
control (QC)• Target unique items
at Presort station

Rumpke Glass Plant
Repetitive Steps• Manual sortation• Screens• Air Separation• Magnetic Separation• Eddy Current• Optical Sortation (contaminants / color)
