Ohio BPS Network Project Kick-Off Meeting

1. Ohio BPS NetworkProject Kick-Off Meeting April 13, 2010 Hosted by: www.OhioBPS.org

2. Basic Premise Waste = Food = Value = Profit

3. Agenda

4. Sponsors • Andrew Mangan Executive Director, United States Business Council for Sustainable Development • David Hanselmann Chief, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Recycling & Litter Prevention • Jerry Tinianow Director, Center for Energy & Environment, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission

5. Project Team • Joseph Fiksel, Project Leader Executive DirectorCenter for Resilience, The Ohio State University • Megan Moses, Network Director • Kieran Sikdar, Director of Analytics • Lily Guajardo, Accounts Manager • Mike Long, Project Advisor • EmrahCimren, Research Associate

6. What is BPS? • “By-product synergy is the matching of under-valued waste or by-product streams from one facility with potential users at another facility to create new revenues or savings with potential social and environmental benefits.” • U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development 1997

7. US BCSD’s Work Process for BPS • A facilitated process that creates a collaborative network to confidentially share information and identify opportunities for beneficial use of by-products (waste). • The work process has been applied to BPS networks in the U.S. and abroad • Waste or by-products can be materials as well as services, energy, or transportation

8. BPS Work Process Overview Create Members Charter Network form NO Any Negotiate Network and Action Members Working Implement Unresolved Contract Plans to Provide Synergy Member Groups Barriers? Agreement Implement Data and Task Synergy Groups YES YES Collect , Project Technical Potential Verify BPS Review / Synergy and Manager / Material Working Identified?

Advisor Potential Support Synergies NO Provide Assist in Provide , Provide Assist in BPS Assist in US BCSD Database, Identifying Tools and Techincal Resolving Synergy Working Tools and Potential Advisor Training Support Barriers Database Meetings Training Synergies Approximately 1 year

9. B BPS Projects in the U.S. Active/Complete • New Jersey • Kansas City • Chicago • Pacific NW • Gulf Coast • Mobile • Houston • Ohio In Development • Central Michigan • Central Texas

10. BPS Example from Chicago e(g)p engineered glass products diverted 2000 lb. per yearof glass shards from landfill to a countertop manufacturer, saving $450,000 and avoiding 500 tons of GHGs to date.

11. Example from Houston BPS Network One metric ton of tire-derived fuel avoids over 600 kg of life cycle GHG emissions. (OSU analysis) Fire departments dispose of usable tires before the end of their normal service life. The BPS Network found that usable tires can be utilized by vehicle fleets, and then eventually scrap tires can be utilized as fuel in cement kilns.

12. Chicago Waste to Profit NetworkBPS Results From establishment in 2007 through 2009 • 182,391 tons of waste diverted • 27,012 tons of GHG eliminated • More than $17 million dollars in economic impact • 37 jobs created or retained January-March 2010 impact-to-date • 14,341 Tons of Waste in Validation Stage (31) • 18,435 Tons in Negotiation Stage (19) • 7,859 Tons of CO2 eq. eliminated • $1,277,575 in economic benefit

13. Potential Ohio BPS Opportunities Spent solvents Owens Corning Granules Honda of America Marathon Oil Cullet Spent sand Biosludge Biomass MSW Fairmount Minerals Food company Digester Food waste Scrap steel Biogas Plastic pails Cement kiln Agrana Worthington Industries Fly ash Electric Utility Steel company Source: 2008 BPS Workshop Scrap wood

14. Participant Contributions • Briefly identify yourself, your organization, and your professional role • Name the top (up to 5) by-products/wastes and/or resource inputs that present the greatest challenges/opportunities to your organization (see datasheet) • Description of material or resource (avoid trade names) • Estimated amount and frequency • Ideas for possible synergies 3 to 5 minutes each

15. Recognizing Opportunities While listening to others…. • Review the by-products and inputs being discussed and make note of any possible matches (synergies) with your organization • Use the BPS datasheet to capture your synergy opportunities • Please keep this information for later discussions during your work group brainstorming sessions

16. Working Groups • Biomass – Food, fibers, wood, and other organic materials • Residuals – manufacturing residuals such as sand, sludge and ash • Recyclables – commonly recycled materials such as metals, glass, rubber, and plastics • Other resources – chemicals, fuels, waxes, oils, water, energy, etc.

17. Working Group Assignments • Residuals • Vesuvius • Worthington • Fairmount • Honda • Belden • P&G • Recyclables • Fairmount • Alliance • United McGill • Grossman • Cytec • Battelle • Chem/Fuels • Worthington • Cemex • Veolia • Waste Mgt • City of Columbus Biomass • Keystone • Marathon • Marzetti • Kahiki • Anheuser-Busch • Arlington • Kurtz Note: Working group reports will be included in the meeting minutes.

18. Work Group Instructions • Select one person from your group to take notes and report back • Focus on the resource category that was assigned to your group • For any synergies already identified, discuss potential benefits, barriers, and solutions • Discuss any additional ideas for synergies • Avoid excessive detail 60 minute session

19. Working Lunch

20. Next Steps in the Process • Data collection • Utilize BPS data template (Excel) • April 27 1 PM technical guidance conf. call • May 13 due date for data template submission • US BCSD will compile in secure database • Technical data review • US BCSD By-Product Synergy evaluation • Augments member efforts & expertise • Eco-Flow tool used to assess BPS benefits • Friday, June 11 second network meeting • Review initial BPS opportunities • Establish member work groups

21. Data Template (Excel)

22. Data Template Example 1 Resources Available

23. Data Template Example Data Template Example 2 Resources Needed

24. BPS Project Metrics • Indirect Metrics • Job creation/retention • Private capital investment • Return on dollar invested • Life-Cycle Metrics • Water, energy, GHG • Air emissions • Land use • P and N discharges • Mineral & fossil fuel consumption Direct Metrics • Landfill diversion • Offset virgin material • Hazardous waste reduced • Water conserved • GHG Emissions (scope 1 & 2) • New sales revenue • Cost savings • Energy conserved

25. The Path Forward • Finalize your membership in the network • Complete data collection & analysis • Identify and prioritize potential synergies • Establish work groups to create business plans and address barriers to synergy implementation • Work groups will develop and utilize action plans for synergy implementation • US BCSD will analyze BPS opportunities and quantify benefits • Help recruit additional network members
