Issue: Dust Management

Unloading of 500kg bags of pelletized plastic into the automatic feeders may result in the release of dust particles into the atmosphere, creating a potentially hazardous environment for workers, and potential nuisance dust for surrounding land users. This dust and accidentally discarded plastic pellets may find their way into the stormwater system, and result in pollution of downstream drainage systems, etc.

Locate the feedstock unloading area within an enclosed warehouse, with appropriate dust collection/mitigation.

Issue: General Waste Management

At a capacity of 9 tons every three days, there is the potential for disposal of 180 0.5 ton empty feed bags per month. Improper management of this general waste could lead to nuisance pollution of the surrounding areas, or worse.



MODERATE NEGATIVE

Provide suitable enclosed and demarcated storage areas for empty feed bags.

Investigate the potential for re-use of feedbags by the supplier.

If re-use is not possible, potential for recycling the bags in other ways should be investigated.

LOW NEGATIVE

Issue: Recycling of Plastic

Specific plastic types will be diverted from landfill to provide feedstock for the facility. This will impact the landfill positively in that non-biodegradable waste inflow will decrease, and more space will be available for other waste types.

The pilot-scale nature of this project implies that if the concept proves to be viable, the potential benefits of reducing plastic waste to landfill will be significantly enhanced.

Issue: Production of valuable products

The beneficiation of plastic waste to produce valuable products will potentially drive a renewed interest in recycling plastic, as waste plastic providers will be paid for their stock, and as the market for the valuable products increase, the need for feedstock will increase. This will have a

The pilot phase will also identify markets to be penetrated at full production phase.

Issue: Waste Water Quality

The quality of the process wastewater streams is influenced by the efficiency of the plastic beneficiation process. Process failures and emergency conditions may result in decreased wastewater quality. This could result in negative impacts on the ELIDZ sewerage infrastructure, and further, on the BCMM sewerage infrastructure, and at worst, on the marine environment to which the Hood Point Sea outfall discharges.

Include in the design of the facility, an emergency waste water retention tank to collect low quality waste water to prevent it from being discharged into the sewers.

ISSUE: Reduction in volumes of plastic waste to landfill

Plastic feedstocks that could have been diverted away from the landfills in the area will continue to be dumped and take up valuable airspace within an already spatially constrained landfill site. The impact would be relatively minor for the current application (a pilot-scale plant), but it could have major implications if a full-scale plant could have been commissioned as a result of the success of the current facility.

No mitigation provided that can be implemented by the applicant if the development DOES NOT go ahead. This benefit will be short-lived, as further developments approved for the ELIDZ or the West Bank area will take up that volume in the future.

ISSUE: Cumulative Air Emissions

Potential decreases in the air quality in the general area will not be realised as a result of THIS development. The air quality specialist found that this impact would be almost negligible in any case.
