~~ (7) SOURCE SEPARATED RECYCLABLES describes a process in which solid waste materials are produced as an autonomous waste product which are stored separately at the site of generation, or physically separated from all other solid wastes into recyclable, compostable, or other fractions at the site of generation. SOURCE SEPARATION sorting at the point of generation, specific discarded materials such as newspapers, glass, metal cans, plastics, vegetative matter, etc.. into specific containers for separate collection. SPECIAL WASTES solid wastes that can require special handling and management, including, but not limited to, white goods. whole tires, used oil, mattresses, furniture, lead-acid batteries, and biological wastes. (4) STACK EMISSIONS air emissions from a combustion facility stacks. (7) STREET REFUSE material picked up by manual and mechanical sweeping of streets and sidewalks, litter from public litter receptacles and dirt removed from catch basins. (1) SUBTITLE C the hazardous waste section of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). (7) SUBTITLE D the solid, non-hazardous waste section of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). (7) SUBTITLE F section of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requiring the federal government to actively participate in procurement programs fostering the recovery and use of recycled materials and energy. SUPERFUND common name for the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) to clean up abandoned or inactive hazardous waste dump sites. (7) 102 Envlronmental Packaging <strong>Guidelines</strong> SUPPLIERS organizations who provide parts, products and components to a manufacturer. TERATOGEN an agent or substance that may cause physical defects in the developing embryo or fetus when a pregnant female is exposed to that substance. TERTIARY PACKAGE this includes the shipping container and all additional internal dunnage materials if any. TERTIARY RECYCLING where packaging material is recycled into a product other than a package or a packaging material. THERMAL DESTRUCTION a group of waste disposal technOlogieS using heat to break down hazardous organic wastes into less toxic constituents, ideally carbon dioxide and water. The two broad categories of thermal destruction teChn0lOgieS are incineration and pyrolysis. THERMOPLASTIC plastic that can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling through a temperature range characteristic of the plastic. and that in the softened state can be shaped by flow into articles by molding or extrusion. (5) THERMOSET plastic that, after having been cured by heat or other means, is substantially infusible and insoluble. (5) TIPPING FEE 1. A fee, usually dollars per ton, for the unloading or dumping of waste at a landfill, transfer station, recycling center, or waste- to-energy facility (7). 2. The charge for processing trash or solid waste at an incinerator or sanitary landfill. This is usually done on a weight basis but can also be on a volume or worst case basis. TIPPING FLOOR unloading area for vehicles that are delivering municipal solid waste to a transfer station or municipal waste combustion facility. (7)
TOPSOIL the topmost layer of soii; usually refers to soil that contains humus and is capable of supporting plant growth. (1) TPD abbreviation for "Tons Per Day", usually referring to the capacity of a paper mill, refuse processing plant, landfill. etc. See also; 'Tons Per Week" (TPW) and "Tons Per Year (TPY). (1) TRACE QUANTITIES usually, parts per million (PPM). One PPM is equivalent to one milligram per liter. TRANSFER STATION a permanent place where waste materials are taken from smaller collection vehicles and placed in larger vehicles for transport, including truck trailers, rallroad cars, or barges. Recycling and some processing may also take place at transfer stations. (7) TRASH generic term encompassing waste in general. Material considered worthless, unnecessary or offensive that is usually thrown away. Generally defined as dry waste material, but in common usage it Is a synonym for .garbage, rubbish, or refuse. (7) TUB GRINDER machine to grind or chip wood wastes for mulching, composting or size reduction. (7) USABLES secondary materials trade term meaning those items recovered from discards that are saiabie in their existing form as second-hand goods. (I) Examples are reusable boxes, wood crates, pallets, etc. VARIABLE CONTAINER RATE a charge for solid waste services based on the volume of waste generated measured by the number of containers set out for collection. (7) VIOLATION ~-daviation from or noncompliance to speci- fled requirements . VIRGIN MATERIALS materials derived from substances mined, grown, or extracted from water or the atmosphere. (Virgin materials as juxtaposed to secondary materials.) (?) VOLUME REDUCTION PLANT includes, but is not limited to, incinerators, pulverizers. compactors. shredding and baling plants, transfer stations, composting plants, and other plants which accept and process solid waste for recycling or dls- posal. (4) VOLUME REDUCTION the processing of waste materials so as to decrease the amount of space the materials occupy, usually by compacting or shredding (mechanical), incineration (thermal), or composting (biological). (7) WASTE EXCHANGE a computer and catalog network that redirects waste materials back into the manufacturing or reuse process by matching companies generating specific wastes with companies that use those wastes as manufacturing inputs. (7) WASTE PROCESSING an operation such as shredding, compaction, composting or incineration, in which the physical or chemical properties of wastes are changed. (1) WASTE REDUCTION reducing the amount or type of waste generated. Sometimes used synonymously with Source Reduction. (7) WASTE STREAM a term describing the total flow of solid waste from homes, businesses, institutions and manufacturing plants that must be recycled, burned, or disposed of in landfills: or any segment thereof, such as the "residential waste stream" or the "recyclable waste stream." (7) WASTES useless, unwanted or discarded materials resulting from natural community activities. Wastes include solids, liquids, and gases Solid wastes are classed as refuse. (ALT - The term in the secondary materials industry is used to differentiate between virgin materials and secondary materials, as in the phrase "waste paper" The word IS used in this sense as a substitute for words like: secondary, scrap or junk. Some apply the term to materials in the process of being made acceptable for industrial consumption. Thus, paper may be waste paper as recovered, but becomes paper Appendix B. Glossary of Terms 103
