The new imaging technology will help separate recyclables even faster and more efficiently!

With a boom in online shopping and home delivery, however, cardboard has become the top material it handles.</p><p>" 'Paper packing has really taken over the recycling bin, so we need a new design and plus the new system is nearly 20 years old,' Roche said.</p><p>"The market for recyclables has rebounded from a slump after China stopped accepting most U.S. solid waste about seven years ago.</p><p>"American companies retrofitted mills to process used cardboard into more packaging material, boosting domestic demand, Roche said.</p><p>"But local policy is also likely to increase the amount of material ecomaine handles, he added.</p><p>"Maine regulators are finalizing requirements that producers pay for the cost of disposing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/packaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>packaging</span></a> waste. The extended producer responsibility program would reimburse towns and cities for their recycling programs.</p><p>"With that policy in place, Roche said that more communities will likely expand programs or revive abandoned recycling rather than 'leave money on the table.'</p><p>" 'So that in concert with public outcry for more recycling and more recovery, those two things are going to go hand in hand and I think, expand recycling programs,' Roche said.</p><p>"The company hopes its expansion will allow it to add more member communities that own and send waste to the Portland facility.</p><p>"Ecomaine plans to borrow $35.5 million through a bond issue for the recycling upgrade and a landfill expansion. Adding more landfill space will give the company seven more years to store ash from its waste-to-energy [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WTE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WTE</span></a>] plant, according to the company.</p><p>"The public corporation is owned by a collection of towns and cities in southern Maine.
