[P2assist] Scrap Base Paper

[vannoyd@konica.com]

I have another dilemma that I would like some assistance with. We
accumulate a non-hazardous paper material that is the base paper that
receives photosensitive coatings at our facility. On the glossy side, there
is an HDPE layer. On the dull side, there is an LDPE layer. These layers
sandwich a paper fiber. We are trying to avoid sending this waste to the
landfill because we consistently generate about 20 tons per month. We
currently bale the scrap pieces of material, but we do have a small amount
that is still on the core.
I have tried contacting waste-to-energy facilities, but they are quite
expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Dorothy
