Review:Material Collection and
Recovery AnalysisDecember 7, 2018
Peter SpendelowOregon Department of Environmental Quality
Purpose• To provide the Steering Committee with background information
materials disposed and recovered in Oregon, including:– Tonnages– Environmental impacts of recovery vs disposal for each material– Collection methods used to collect each material– Disposition of the material. How much is recycled, composted, burned
for energy, or disposed. For materials that are recovered, what other materials are they replacing?
• Concentrate on:– Materials collected in public recycling collection programs, and – Materials heavily impacted by China’s import restrictions/bans
• Produce report to be reviewed by Steering Committee• Steering Committee then recommends what materials need further
research and consideration for possible inclusion in collection programs of different types.
• Contractor will then update and add section on future and emerging trends in material generation that could affect recovery programs
