SIMON SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021

AGUIDETORECYCLING

All properties have completed their updated training with tenants in 2021 to implement best practices of on-site waste management; however, at Tacoma Mall we did more. We made specific investments and improvements to optimize waste streams. In searching for a way to continue to reduce costs, Dan Wilmes, Director of Parking Services, researched a different type of waste digester for Tacoma Mall. The idea for piloting this project was that the combination of the lease costs for the digester and the reduced hauling costs resulting from its use would reduce the center’s total waste hauling costs. The new device differs from a typical waste digester in that it is aerobic rather than anaerobic, and it generates most of the heat for processing directly from the biomass, which accelerates the processing time and saves on power costs.

Material fed to the waste digester gets shredded first and then sent into the machine, where it enters a bio bath. There it is constantly churned for a period of time, and then moved into another tank, where the material continues to be digested and starts to dry. The material then moves to a third drying tank before exiting the machine for disposal. The only byproducts of the process are the digestate and filtered air. The benefits of this new equipment are that it will reduce the volume of waste going into landfills and because the waste is already partially decomposed, it can significantly extend the life of the landfill.
