Because Recology negotiates its own set of contracts as to where recyclables are reprocessed, Ashlanders are not being asked to make the same drastic changes to their recycling patterns as the residents of Phoenix and Medford. The woman responsible for managing these contracts is Recology Waste Zero Specialist Jamie Rosenthal.Jamie grew up in Coos Bay, where she learned early on to be responsible about waste from a father who spent weekends collecting trash left behind by beachcombers. Ironically, her father was employed by a paper mill, so Jamie grew up seeing all sides of the impassioned battle between environmentalists and Oregon’s timber industry. In the cross-fire, her father’s paper mill was shuttered, causing her family serious economic hardship. When Southern Oregon University offered Jamie a generous scholarship, she moved to Ashland in 1997.Wanting to put her degree in communications to good purpose, Jamie researched several local companies before deciding that employee-owned Recology had a mission (“to return resources to their best and highest use”) that resonated with her own values.

Trento, Italy-based Aquafil, a leading manufacturer of Nylon 6, will open its first U.S. carpet recycling facility in Phoenix. Aquafil Carpet Recycling (ACR) No. 1 will recycle Nylon 6 from carpets back into raw material, further enhancing its Econyl Regeneration System, which the company says is the only technology in the world capable of regenerating Nylon 6 from carpets and other end-of-life products, including fishing nets.Made from 100 percent recycled nylon, Aquafil’s Econyl yarn is used to produce a wide range of textile products, such as sportswear, swimwear and carpets. In 2007, Aquafil established the Energy & Recycling business unit to boost the sustainable activities of the Aquafil Group. Thanks to its research and development activities, the Econyl Regeneration System was created.Once operational in 2018, ACR No. 1 will have the capacity to collect and process 35 million pounds of carpet per year.“We’re not comfortable with the status quo—in this case that less than 5 percent of carpet waste is recycled,” says Aquafil CEO Giulio Bonazzi. “We know Nylon 6 waste can be powerful with the...
