Rethink Reduce Re-use Recycle Plastic Revolutions’ original building on Harrison Street was a 3 story brick textile mill (the Cone Mills Edna Plant built in 1896) which itself was recycled to salvage all of the brick, metal, and wood (flooring, timbers, etc.) to be reused in new construction. 2 new dock doors and 3 new dock levelers were taken to new building for re-use. Challenges with Original Plant on Harrison Street Multi-story building required a freight elevator to move materials between floors which slowed material flow Low ceiling height (12’) limited stacking height in warehouse and placement of large manufacturing equipment Wooden floors required steel floor plates in high traffic areas to prevent fork truck damage to floors Narrow column spacing (20’X20’) compromised material handling/warehousing The Only 2 dock-high loading doors were both located at one end of the building which compromised material handling/flow New Building Selection Criteria (to accommodate Plastic Revolutions and to insure a future exit strategy) Location – Reidsville/Rockingham County to retain existing workforce Size - 100,000 Square Feet Single Story Ceiling Height - 20’ or higher Floors - concrete Column Spacing - 40’X40’ Dock-high loading doors – Multiple doors located on opposite ends of the building to “receive raw materials” on one side and “ship out finished materials” on the other side Rail - Existing spur or ability to add Additional land to double the size of the building The current building on Barnes Street was built in 1966 by Sylvania for manufacturing fluorescent light fixtures. It was then bought by GTE, then Chase Metals and then AMI Duduco which manufactured electrical devices including thermostats and circuit breakers.

Additional Attributes of the Barnes Street Building Heavy Electric in place from former manufacturing uses Trench drains in place for use with the wash lines Large existing room enclosed with cinder block walls could house the grinders for noise containment & air quality enhancement Existing Wastewater pre-treatment tanks Size – 250,000 Square Foot Building is 2.5 times larger than our target size providing for tremendous growth Additional Land – 18 acres available for additional growth or for new building(s) where one or more customers could co-locate II.. CCOOMMPPLLEETTEEDD IINN 22000088

A. Site Attributes/Enhancements

1. Transportation Infrastructure (Illustrate with US map) a) Adjacent to main line of Norfolk-Southern Railroad with plans

to reinstall previous rail spur to serve existing building and future building(s) (Rail service was a requirement of new building search criteria)

b) 8/10 mile from full interchange with US 29 (Future I-785) c) 27 miles from I-85/I-40 d) 34 miles from FedEx Mid-Atlantic Hub at Piedmont Triad

International Airport e) 82 miles from I-77 f) 135 miles from I-95 g) 216 miles from Port of Norfolk h) 227 miles from Port of Wilmington i) 229 miles from Port of Morehead City j) 297 miles from Port of Charleston k) ____ miles from main fiber optic spine between Washington,

DC and Atlanta l) ____ miles from ___% of US population

2. No irrigation system. 3. Planted maple, cherry and leyland cypress trees (native species

which are drought resistant) around the existing building. 4. Added Outdoor shelter with picnic tables and grassy areas. 5. Removed unsightly chain link fencing from the front of the building

and used by our employees for dog pens rather than being sent to the landfill.

6. Acquired five additional parcels along Barnes Street which contained 3 houses and a separate workshop building. a) Removed all asbestos.

- 3 -

b) Recycled water heaters, HVAC units & metals. c) Demolished all structures with all brick and concrete

stockpiled on site to minimize debris sent to landfill (cost to separate brick and concrete was the same or less expensive than the cost to landfill).

d) All underground storage tanks were pumped and removed, all septic tanks were pumped and removed and all wells were abandoned in accordance with all applicable laws and ordinances.

7. 18 Acre Site: (According to Rockingham County Economic

Development, this is the best industrial site available in the entire county) a) ALTA Survey completed. b) Army CORPS of Engineers confirmed no streams or wetlands

impact the property. c) Rezoned 15.5 acres to Heavy Industrial. d) Cleared and rough graded entire site. e) Preliminary topographic study indicates the site should

balance avoiding the need to transport soil to or from the site. f) Preliminary Geotechnical borings completed. g) Land cleared with 20 loads (800,000 pounds) of wood chips

sent to Corn Products for biofuel and 3 loads (120,000 pounds) of logs sent to the saw mill.

h) Most mature trees preserved. i) In the spring of 2008, land was rough graded, hydro seeded

and strawed along with the installation of silt fencing and stormwater management ponds in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. The site is now completely stabilized with a healthy stand of fescue grass.

j) The grass grew throughout the summer of 2008, was allowed to go to seed and was bush hogged in the fall thereby overseeding the land. The bush hogging also cut all exposed roots so the field can now be harvested for hay each year until the property is redeveloped. (If grass dies during another drought, consider future replacement crop of canola with seeds sold to Red Birch Biodiesel where seeds are crushed, canola oil used for biodiesel and remaining high-protein seed hulls are fed to livestock.)

B. Building

1. Asbestos and Underground Storage Tanks removed by prior owner. 2. Entire roof recently replaced by prior owner with white roof. 3. Existing pits in the building were filled with cinderblock debris

(demolition of internal offices), gravel (removed from north side of building) and concrete debris from an unrelated demolition site in

- 4 -

nearby Stoneville to divert solid waste from the landfill. (The gravel removed from the north side of the building was stained with metal shavings that had oxidized. While very unsightly and an initial concern as a possible environmental problem, our environmental consultants confirmed the gravel was merely stained and was completely benign.)

4. Two damaged truck dock doors were replaced with used dock doors from our old building; used dock doors and dock levelers were utilized from Stoneville for 2 docks which were added. All damaged dock doors were recycled.

5. Replaced existing carpet in front offices with low VOC carpet for enhanced indoor air quality.

6. Environmental Assessment reports completed. 7. Recycled the metal office cubicles left by the prior owner.

C. Operations

1. Installed dust collection system at the grinders and wash line to enhance cleanliness of plastic product and enhance indoor air quality.

2. Installed wastewater recycling system including centrifuge and sludge bag drainage area (reduced wastewater discharge from 10,000 gallons per day to 0, reduced annual landfill by 175 tons, and also enhanced indoor air quality immeasurably). Also reduced leachate from landfill.

3. Began recycling plastic collected by floor sweeping which yielded an additional 500,000 pounds per year of plastic processed for reuse and diverted from the landfill.

4. Cardboard gaylord boxes, shrink-wrap, plastic pallets and wooden pallets are all recycled.

5. One customer uses plastic gaylord boxes which fold down when empty (1 tractor-trailer can hold only 40 empty boxes but can hold 200 empty folded boxes).

6. Plastic pellets are blown into silos for temporary storage where they may subsequently be transferred directly into tanker trucks for large bulk shipments or may be blown back into the plant to fill gaylord boxes for smaller orders thereby avoiding the necessity of handling them multiple times with fork trucks if they were placed in gaylord containers to begin with.

7. Grinder blades are sharpened as needed, reused up to 8 times and then recycled.

8. Installed a Certified Truck Scale in the parking lot to weigh trucks. IIII.. CCOOMMPPLLEETTEEDD iinn 22001100

AA.. BBuuiillddiinngg 1. Completed energy audit.

2. Replaced all plant lighting (T-12 fluorescent and metal halide fixtures) with T-5 fluorescent fixtures (old fixtures were recycled).

- 5 -

Utilized motion sensor activated lights in the warehouse. (Payback period was approximately 1 year.)

3. New Cambridge high efficiency gas heaters in plant. (Payback period was approximately 1.5 years.)

4. Extruder Room – added automatic curtain doors and an automatic make-up air unit.

5. Repaired all exhaust fans to enhance indoor air temperature and indoor air quality.

6. Closed surplus restrooms and turned off corresponding water heaters.

7. Motion sensor lighting added in all restrooms. 8. Added door sweeps (weather stripping on base of door) on all

pedestrian doors to save energy. 9. Installation of a photovoltaic solar panel system

a. Phase 1 216 panels 52.90KW 2010 b. Phase 2 252 panels 57.96KW 2011 c. Phase 3 3120 panels 951.60KW 2015 Total 3588 panels 1062.5 KW B. Operations

1. Completed ISO 9001-2008 Certification. 2. New elutriation machine (density material separator) added between

grinder and wash line to reduce dust and save water. 3. Periodic energy conservation classes with all employees required to

attend. 4. Completed Production Flow Optimization Study to maximize space

utilization and postpone building expansion until required (Painting pallet positions on floor will double capacity from 2,500 to 5,000 pallets.

5. Fork Trucks – retired 2 propane fork trucks and purchased five electric fork trucks with ultimate goal of using mainly electric fork trucks.

6. A new second wash line (operational early 2011) is greatly improved over the first wash line. It has a programmable logic controller (PLC) to control the water and heat usage as well as a motor start sequence to conserve energy. After the second wash line was operating, the first wash line was retrofitted to include a PLC for additional energy savings.

IIIIII.. CCOOMMPPLLEETTEEDD IINN 22001166 AA.. OOppeerraattiioonnss

1. A sorting line was constructed to process plastic water bottles with a closure and a neck smaller than the container body. These bottles were banned from North Carolina landfills beginning October 2009 (HB#1465). The sorting line also processes larger, less desirable, mixed rigid plastics.

2. Installed a bailing wire machine that rolls the wire into a ball so it is safer to handle and can be recycled.

- 6 -

3. Installed a grinder blade sharpener to cut costs. Depending upon the amount of damage, a grinder blade can be sharpened up to 5 times. Blades that cannot be sharpened are recycled.

IIVV.. AADDDDIITTIIOONNAALL IIDDEEAASS WWHHIICCHH WWEERREE IIMMPPLLEEMMEENNTTEEDD 1. Continue replacing propane fork trucks with electric. 2. Confirm if operating on a 24/7 basis saves energy by avoiding power

surges required for start-up. – Yes 3. Confirm we use local vendors and locally made products minimizing

transportation and the resulting carbon footprint. – Yes 4. Plastic Revolutions letterhead, business cards, etc. to be printed on

recycled paper and/or bamboo content. (Most correspondence via e-mail – including invoicing)

55.. Encourage employees at all levels to make suggestions for enhancing the production process.

66.. Reduce “phantom” energy use. 77.. Use only green cleaning products, floor treatments, etc. 88.. Move gaylord box storage and pallet storage from SW to NE end of

building where ultimately needed 99.. Cost segregation of new building upgrades for accelerated depreciation.

VV.. AADDDDIITTIIOONNAALL IIDDEEAASS CCOONNSSIIDDEERREEDD BBUUTT EELLIIMMIINNAATTEEDD 11.. Consider a green roof at next replacement (current roof cannot support

load and prefer use with solar panels. 2. Blend label pulp from wash line and dust from the dust collection system

and sell to Corn Products as biofuel. (Compare cost to landfill vs. revenue to reuse) – Corn Products not interested.

3. Shred office paper waste and add to the label pulp and dust for biofuel. (Limited amount of office paper waste)

4. Offer a document destruction service with shredded documents sent to Corn Products for use as biofuel. (Eliminated since a non-core business)

5. Eliminate additional water in sludge by compressing, using another centrifuge or air drying in covered outdoor troughs. (Not practical to remove any more water)

6. How wash line water heated? Consider adding solar panels to pre-heat water. (Not appropriate – too much heat loss, not financially feasible) (Currently heat soap water – Only possible addition is to heat washing machine water)

7. Can pelletizer heat exhaust be used to dry plastic from wash line? (No) 8. Can pelletizer coolant water be used to heat wash line water? (No)

VVII.. AADDDDIITTIIOONNAALL IIDDEEAASS FFOORR FFUUTTUURREE CCOONNSSIIDDEERRAATTIIOONN A. Site

1. Capture and reuse stormwater runoff from roof and paved areas for landscape irrigation (will also help recharge groundwater).

2. Property is not located on City bus line. Confirm the number of employees who would ride the bus if available and, depending upon

- 7 -

the number of interested employees, ask the City to add Barnes Street Business Park on the bus route.

3. Add a bicycle rack. 4. Develop 1 or more LEED designated buildings on the vacant 18 acre

site. 5. Target major customers of Plastic Revolutions to co-locate on the

adjoining site so the plastic produced by Plastic Revolutions can be fed by conveyor or blown directly to the customer for use as feed stock thereby avoiding shipment by truck or rail.

6. Plan to add a landscaped berm along Barnes Street to shield the view of the new building truck parking from the street.

7. Consider adding a pervious walking trail around the perimeter of the property. (will be placed along the road frontage of both Barnes & Turner Streets thereby providing pedestrian walkways for the neighborhood due to the lack of municipal sidewalks).

8. New trees and shrubs (drought resistant native species) to include nut and fruit bearing species to provide food for area wildlife.

B. Building 1. Install new Energy Star HVAC in 2,000 square foot plant offices. 2. Replace T-12 fluorescent light fixtures with T-8 fixtures in 2,000

square foot plant offices. 3. Replace T-12 fluorescent light fixtures with T-8 fixtures in all

restrooms. 4. Replace “EXIT” signs with LED signs throughout building. 5. Remove 2-story offices constructed within the warehouse area by

the prior owner and install new T-5 fluorescent lights (creates an additional 10,000 sf+/- warehouse with 22’ ceiling).

6. Replace two existing receiving dock doors and ramp on North side of building with 4 dock doors and one ramp.

7. Add three dock levelers at Butler Building. 8. Restore dock door on south side of building near front offices which

was bricked over by prior owner. 9. Add a covered area for 2 garbage dumpsters on the north side of the

building. 10. Add a driveway and wall opening with shute on north side of building

for dump trucks to dump material directly into plant. 11. Relocate shop and parts from high ceiling warehouse to low ceiling

area of plant (creates an additional 6,000 sf+/- of warehouse space). 12. At next repaving, use heavy duty concrete (to include fly ash) or

heavy duty asphalt in heavy truck traffic areas and pervious paving for the car parking areas. (Any environmental concerns about fly ash? Can heavy metals leach out?)

13. Convert unused front office space to warehouse space.

- 8 -

14. Remove existing HVAC systems to eliminate CFC’s (recycle metal components).

15. Add skylights or solo tubes throughout the plant and office areas. 16. Lead paint – remove or encapsulate. 17. Consider geothermal heating and cooling. 18. Utilize construction materials with recycled content. 19. Evaluate cost/savings benefit of replacing existing toilets and sink

faucets with low volume/dual flush fixtures either now or at next replacement. Reuse gray water from sinks for wash line water, cooling water or landscape irrigation.

20. Evaluate building and site for enhanced accessibility (ADA). 21. Use carpet tiles in office areas to reduce waste by up to 60%

(random pattern preferred) 22. Avoid painting brick, concrete or wood surfaces – leave in their

natural finish (paint only sheetrock) 23. Consider utilizing vacant front office space as a plastic

recycling/LEED education center open to area school children to promote the green practices utilized throughout the project, the fact that Reidsville is the plastic recycling capital of the world and the economic benefits/jobs created by the industry thereby providing a service to the community and the promotion of green practices. (See if public funding available from schools, county, community college, etc.) Exhibits could include: a) US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED designations and

application process. b) US population as a percent of world population compared to

US consumption as a percent of world consumption. c) Global warming. d) Compare old Plastic Revolutions building (multi-story, wooden

floors, narrow column spacing, low ceiling height) to new building (concrete floor, wide column spacing, high ceiling height, single-story) and the need for the new building to accommodate the size and weight of modern machinery and the cubic capacity desired for modern warehouse/distribution functions.

e) Explain why old building did not work for adaptive reuse for residential and/or retail due to building configuration (too square) and was not economically feasible due to market size and conditions.

f) Compare office size, configuration & managerial structure of historical vs. modern industrial facilities (autocratic and top down vs. team oriented.) As an example, other than the conference room, we have never used any of the 15,000 square foot front offices.

g) Historical manufacturing processes which were labor intensive vs. modern manufacturing processes which are

- 9 -

capital intensive and highly automated hence the reduced number of jobs available and the higher educational attainment required for employment (importance of Community College and University System).

h) Plastic Revolutions – Sources of plastic, processes and end uses.

i) Other examples of recycled products. j) Transportation as the key to commerce Rivers, seaports, canals, Indian Trails, Wagon Trails, US

Highways, Interstates, Rail (North Carolina Railroad attracted Cone Mills in 1880’s) passenger trains then, now and in the future, airports (FedEx Hub) and information transportation via fiber optics. As an example, US Highway 29 at the property was originally an Indian Trail then a Wagon Trail, now a US Highway and will become Interstate 785.

C. Operations

1. Insulate the overhead piping between the pelletizer and the storage silos to minimize noise.

D. Tax Favored Opportunities

1. Green tax credits? 2. Historic tax credits (Is building eligible for historic register?) 3. Cost segregation of new building upgrades for accelerated

depreciation. s:\winword\plastic revolutions\plastic revolutions sustainability measures dtd 9.7.2016.doc
