COLLECTOR PARTICULATE<br />
Types:<br />
BAG-FILTER<br />
a filter in which the medium is a fabric<br />
cylindrical bag.<br />
CYCLONE<br />
an inlet gas stream is made to move<br />
vortically; centrifugal forces tend to drive<br />
suspended particles to the wall of the<br />
cyclone.<br />
DUST<br />
any device used to remove particulate<br />
from a gas stream.<br />
FLY ASH<br />
removes fly ash from combustion gases.<br />
MECHANICAL<br />
inertial and gravitational forces separate<br />
dry dust from gas.<br />
MULTICYCLONE<br />
an assembly of cyclone tubes operating<br />
in parallel. (1)<br />
COLLECTOR<br />
handles the collection of post-consumer<br />
recyclables in any of several ways-<br />
curbside collection, operation of community<br />
drop-off sites, or management of commu-<br />
nity, municipal or regional recycling<br />
centers.<br />
COMBUSTIBLE WASTE<br />
discarded material capable of combustion<br />
includes paper, COrrUgated fiberboard,<br />
cartons, wood, boxes, excelsior, plastic,<br />
rags, bedding, leather, trimmings, household<br />
waste. (1)<br />
COMBUSTION GASES<br />
the mixture of gases and vapors produced<br />
by combustion. (2)<br />
COMBUSTION<br />
the rapid chemical reaction of oxygen with<br />
a substance which results in the evolution<br />
of heat and usually light. (1)<br />
COMMERCIAL WASTE,<br />
waste materials originating in wholesale,<br />
retail, institutional, or service establishments<br />
such as office buildings, stores,<br />
markets, theaters, hotels and warehouses.<br />

04 Environmental Packaging <strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
COMMINGLED PLASTIC<br />
a mixture of plastics, the components of<br />
which may have widely differing properties.<br />
(5)<br />
COMMINGLED RECYCLABLES<br />
A mixture of several recyclable materials<br />
into one containers. (7)<br />
COMPACT<br />
to reduce size or dimensions or increase<br />
density without adding or Subtracting<br />
matter. (I)<br />
COMPACTION RATIO<br />
the volume a package occupies after<br />
undergoing a standardized test which is<br />
representative of conditions in municipal<br />
landfills divided by its original volume as<br />
manufactured.<br />
COMPACTOR<br />
power-driven device used to compress<br />
materials to a smaller volume. (7)<br />
COMPOST<br />
the relatively stable decomposed organic<br />
material resulting from the composting<br />
process. Also referred to as humus. (7)<br />
COMPOSTABLE<br />
capable of undergoing physical. chemical,<br />
thermal, and biOlOgiCal decomposition in a<br />
compost facility such that the finished<br />
compost ultimately mineralizes into carbon<br />
dioxide, water, and biomass, leaving no<br />
distinguishable, persistent, synthetic, or<br />
toxic residues.<br />
COMPOSTING<br />
Types:<br />
MECHANICAL<br />
the material is continuously mechanically<br />
mixed and aerated.<br />
VENTILATED CELL<br />
the material is mixed and aerated by<br />
being dropped through a vertical series<br />
of ventilated cells.<br />
WINDROW<br />
the material is placed in open-air<br />
windrows, piles, or ventilated bins or pits<br />
and is occasionally turned or mixed. The<br />
process may be anaerobic or aerobic. (I)<br />
COMPOSTING<br />
1. The process of deCOmpOSing organic<br />
matter by microorganisms. 2. The con-
