4. Presentation: DOW Packaging and Specialty Plastics and Keep America Beautiful
"Orange Bag" Grant Program (John Piper, DOW)
John Piper, the Associate Director, overseeing Canada and North America. John shared
information regarding the orange bag program. DOW is the largest producer of polyurethane
plastics. Their products preserve food and extend shelf life which reduces waste. The goal is to
provide sustainability.
Why the orange energy bags? To provide consumers an option to "recycle" those materials that
would normally not be allowed in the standard municipal recycling programs. The orange -energy
bag program is customizable to the area, and agencies involved. The products acceptable is
merely a menu that you can add or subtract as the program is developed in the area.

Orange bags are picked up bi-weekly with the regular recycling materials and stored "unopened"
until there is enough to ship to Renewlogy.
Typical supply is a pack of 26; which on a biweekly schedule is a 1 year supply. Typical sizes
are 8 gallon, 30 gallon and a 55 gallon bag on the horizon. Boise has requested and is waiting for
production of a 13 gallon bag. Which is part of the reason for their program rollout of April 2018,
Seattle held a pilot for 3 months. Will not be doing it again. (John's initial statement was that
freight costs were too high, but when questioned again, he stated that the program was a pilot
only and was not going to be a permanent program)
Price of the bags covers; delivery of bags to the city/agency, portion of MRF processing, audit
of program, freight costs to Renewlogy, broker costs, startup, tech support, communication
templates.
Price of the bags does not cover: delivery of bags to the customer, contamination disposal costs
Unable to view video that John wanted to share (technically difficulties with audio video system)
Questions asked:
Should Meridian want to participate can we tag along with Boise?
No, the earliest DOW would be ready to add Meridian would be fall of 2018
Who gets the bags to the customer?
For each City to decide. Neither Republic Services nor Utility Billing staff wants to be
the retail center. No one seemed to have a good idea as to Boise's plans to deliver their
supply.
Storage space and fees?
Western Recycling's Rep was able to answer details regarding Boise's program and/or
any agreement with Western as she was not part of the conversations.
