This report has not been reviewed by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for technical accuracy. However, a-review
by industry and other experts resulted in divergent views
on the technical accuracy of the report. Therefore, the report
should be viewed as technically incomplete and inappropriate
for the development of policy.

Foreword
Section 205(2) of the Resource Recovery Act of 1970
charged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with the
responsibility to study "changes in current product
characteristics and production ... which would reduce the
amount of solid waste." This Act was amended by the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, which
continues the Agency's responsiblity in the area of resource
conservation.
This study on disposable versus reusable products is
one of a series of studies that were undertaken as a result
of the directive given the Environmental Protection Agency
by the Resource Recovery Act. The other studies in the
series examined beverage containers and milk containers.
This study was an attempt to compare the resource and
environmental impacts of reusable products with their
disposable counterparts.
The resource and environmental impacts analyzed in
this study are: raw material use, energy use, water use,
industrial solid waste, post-consumer solid waste, air
pollution emissions, and water effluents. These impacts
are assessed at each step in the life cycle of a product.
The cycle begins with raw materials extraction and continues
through disposal.
A draft of the report was carefully reviewed by
industrial and technical experts. These experts provided
divergent views as to the accuracy of the report. In an
attempt to provide as complete and descriptive a study as
possible, the comments of these experts have been footnoted
in the appropriate places in the study.
The study is being printed as received from the
contractor, rather than attempt to rewrite the entire study.
Therefore, you should refer to the footnotes when reading
this study.
The primary cause of the divergent opinions of the
experts lies in the assumptions upon which the resource
and environmental, impact data is developed. For example,
a question was raised concerning the average number of
pounds of laundry in a washing machine. This is a
significant factor for the cloth products. It is in the
cleaning step that the largest percentage of impacts occur.
Therefore, a higher or lower average wash load will have a
definite affect on how the cloth products compare vis-a-vis
the disposable1 products.

-------
In conclusion, those reading this study should pay
particular attention to the comments made by the experts.
Furthermore, the data presented in the study should be
examined in light of conflicting evidence and viewpoints.
Therefore, it would be inappropriate for an organization
to develop a policy position on this subject based on this
study.

INTRODUCTION
This research study concerning six disposable and reusable product
categories is divided into three phases: Resource and Environmental Profile
Analysis, Health Aspects, and Economic Aspects (which was not completed
due to lack of data)•
1,2,3
1. Resource and Environmental Profile Analysis; The purpose of
this phase is to provide a comparison of the resource inputs (raw materials,
energy, and water) and environmental outputs (air emission, waterbome
wastes, process solid wastes, and postconsumer solid wastes) associated
with the products within each product category. The analysis includes the
impacts from raw material extraction through product disposal, including
the steps of materials processing, product manufacture and use*
3,4,5,6
2. Health Aspects; This phase reports on the health concerns which
have been identified concerning the use and disposal of the disposable and
reusable products. The research involved literature searches and documenta-
tion of public health and sanitation laws, ordinances, etc; interviews with
companies, organizations, public officials, and knowledgable professionals;
and site visits to laundries, hospitals, etc. The comments presented by
the Single Service Institute, February 1975, and the Tissue Division of
the American Paper Institute, March 1975, to the U.S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency were reviewed during this task.
Summary - Public Health and Sanitation Concerns; The products
included in this study—towels, napkins, sheets, diapers and foodservice
ware--are vital components In the American way of life. The average individ-
ual uses or comes into contact with the majority of these types of products
during the course of each day. Accordingly, the relative sanitation of the
disposable and reusable variants within each product type is a significant
concern of all involved in delivering these items to the consumer.
The "Public Health and Sanitation" component of this comprehen-
sive study of selected disposable versus reusable products examines con-
cerns that have been raised regarding the public health and sanitation as-
pects of these products. In accordance with the scope of work for this in-
vestigation, MRI conducted a literature review of relevant sanitation
studies, as well as of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Sanitation
Code and selected state and local sanitation ordinances. A total of 85 ref-
erences were reviewed for this task. Additionally, MRI contacted 32 public
health associations and industrial associations, &0 product manufacturers,
national and regional FDA officials, and 5 state health agencies. The re-
search effort resulted in the following general conclusions:

-------
Sanitation concerns related to the cloth products studied involve
a wide range of variables, and no definitive conclusions can be reached re-
garding absolute degrees of contamination or sanitation of a given product.
However, the following points are overwhelmingly supported by the literature:
1. Cloth products are potential disseminators of microorganisms;
2. Laundering at 160° for 25 minutes can reasonably ensure destruc-
tion of pathogenic bacteria (lesser time and temperature being effective for
some bacteria);
3. Commercial laundering methods are generally superior to home
laundering methods in sanitizing cloth products; and
4. The impacts of inadequate sanitation on the public health can-
not be definitively determined, since variables such as degree of contamina-
tion and susceptibility of the exposed populace significantly affect the.re-
lationship between contaminated fabrics and the development of disease.
Additionally, no definitive conclusions could be drawn relative
to the comparable disposable products studied (paper towels and napkins,
disposable diapers and sheets); however, issues such as the effect of land-
fill disposal of contaminated diapers are addressed in the body of the re-
port .
Regarding the use of foodservice ware in commercial and institu-
tional settings, it is extremely difficult to make direct comparisons be-
tween reusables and disposables. The impact of human variables, from day to
day, from restaurant to restaurant or institution to institution, negates
virtually every attempt to quantify differences in the sanitary status of
disposables versus reusables. As correctly stated by the Single Service In-
stitute, "the only precise way to assess the health values of disposables
versus reusables would be to survey the bacteriological quality of one ver-
sus the other by testing the utensils in food-serving establishments just
prior to their use." And even then, the scope of the investigation would
have to be massive in order to be equitable. Additionally, bacteriological
standards alone do not measure the capacity of foodservice ware (or any
other product) to transmit disease; the most such standards can do is to
indicate potential for disease transmission.
The problem in assessing sanitation standards on foodservice ware
is summarized quite effectively by Bailus Walker, the author of several stud-
ies in this field: "Questions involving the health effects of environmental
bioloads are particularly prone to uncertainty and the health impact of var-
ious environmental levels of microorganisms on food or beverage contact sur-
faces are often unknown, and not infrequently unknowable."

3. Economic Aspects; The objective of the economic analysis was
to describe markets served, annual quantities shipped, fixed capital assets,
annual capital investment rates; and employment rates for the industries
which manufacture the disposable and reusable products included in the study.
This was to be used to permit assessment of the impacts which would occur
in the national economy should any of the products be replaced or deleted
from the market place.
However, the research team was unable to complete the objectives
of the economics analysis due to lack of detailed information available
from the industries representing the products. Several organizations did
submit summary data for the study, but the overall response was not ade-
quate to permit a fair comparison of the economic parameters. Therefore,
an economic analysis will not be a part of this report.
Should policymakers want to pass legislation which could result
in deletions and additions of products in the market place, a research study
which is sufficiently funded to evaluate the affects on the following should
be considered: employment, raw materials availability and demand shifts, new
capital investments required, cost to redirect existing capital equipment,
labor productivity, the gross national product, regional economic and social
effects, cost to the consumer, losses and gains in federal revenue, etc.
4. General Comments; The six products studied along with a brief
description of their physical characteristics are presented in Table 1.
One or two disposable and reusable products were selected'for each category,
making a total of 23 products researched. The towel category includes cloth
and paper towels and'also sponges. Sponges were included in the towel cate-
gory due to similarity in use basis.
The descriptions and weights of the products were chosen to repre-
sent the most prevalent sizes in the market place. The disposable paper and
plastic products were recommended by the American Paper Institute and the
Single Service Institute. The china products were selected by the American
Restaurant China Council. The remaining products were selected by MRI, with
assistance from EPA.
The results of the study are presented in three separate volumes.
Volume I-A contains the results of the REPA study. Volume I-B contains the
appendix material for the information presented in Volume I-A. Volume II
is concerned with selected health considerations.
Most of the detail data leading to the information presented in
Volume I-A is contained in Volume I-B. Also many scenarios of use factors
(times used before discarding) are presented through Volume I-A. The sce-
narios are used so that information will be available for a range of use
factors, since the factors can change from year to year.6

CHAPTER 2
SUMMARY OF STUDY RESULTS - RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROFILE ANALYSIS (REPA)
This chapter contains a summary of comparative REPA analyses for
the disposable and reusable products within the six product categories iden-
tified and described in Chapter 1. The summary data for each product repre-
sents the resource inputs and environmental outputs for the entire system
profile. Each system profile is composed of all the processes involved from
raw materials extraction to disposal of the final product. The summary data
for the profile consists of impacts for the seven resource and environmental
impact categories (raw materials, energy, water, process solid wastes, atmos-
pheric emissions, waterborne wastes, and postconsumer solid wastes).
A. Resource and Environmental Data Summaries1>2>3
This section will present the summary tables which compare the
values of the seven impact categories for each disposable and reusable pro-
duct comparison. The values will be discussed to assist the reader in achiev-
ing an understanding of the analysis technique. The summary will begin with
the towel category and proceed through the other five product categories.
The summary tables should be used with tables 39 through 62 when studying
the impact data.
1. Towels'; The comparison of the resource and environmental sum-
maries for products in the towel category is presented in Table 2. The
data represent the impacts associated with using each product to clean up
1,000 spills in the home kitchen area.
Table 2 contains data for eight product scenarios; five for the
cloth towel, two for the sponge and one for the paper towel. In the sce-
narios, the cloth towel data are presented for a useful life (number of uses
before discarding the product to the postconsumer solid waste stream) of
32 (U32) and 100 (UlOO) uses. These use values are MRI estimates based on
industry averages for commercial kitchen towels. The information is also
divided into data for one laundering after each use (LI) and one laundering
after the towel has been used to clean up five spills (L5). Therefore, the
column identified by cloth towel, U32, LI refers to a towel used 32 times
before discarding and the towel is laundered after each spill cleanup. Data
for the cellulose sponge are presented in the same manner. With respect to
paper towels, each towel is used one time and discarded. Data submitted
by the American Paper Institute state that on the average, 1.83 paper towels
are used for cleaning up one spill.

-------
The impact data in Table 2 show, with the exception of raw mate-
rials and postconsumer solid waste, that the reusable cloth towel product
has higher impacts than the disposable paper towel unless the cloth towel
is used four to five times before laundering. The laundry impacts (included
in the cloth towel profile) are representative of home laundries and assume
12 pounds of laundry per load. The use of a cold water wash in the U100,
LI towel scenario reduces the energy value from 1.02 to 0.54 million Btu
(47 percent), which compares closely with the energy for the paper towel.
The data for the cellulose sponge product shows that the UlOO,
Ll scenario has impacts very similar in magnitude to the paper towel, with
the exception of the raw material and PCSW values. The UlOO Ll sponge has
smaller impact values than shown by the UlOO Ll cloth towel. The UlOO L5
sponge scenario shows the most favorable REPA profile of the products de-
scribed in Table 2.
The information in Table 2 shows that the resource and environ-
mental impacts for the reusable products aie heavily dependent upon the
number of times a product is used before it is laundered. The research team
was unable to locate open literature information identifying typical use
and laundering practices for cloth towels and sponge products used in the
home. Information from the Linen Supply Association of America shows that
in 1972, the typical kitchen towel in commercial use is used 16.3 times
before replacement is necessary. This value includes towels lost from their
intended service due to robbery and change in service application. The ex-
pected life of a kitchen towel used in the home is assumed to be greater
than 32. MRI assumption of home use factor based on commercial use of 16.3.
After' approximately 100 uses, the reduction in profile impact values becomes
very small. Again, the most important criteria affecting the REPA data is
the number o.f towel uses before laundering. With a life of 32 uses before
discard, the cloth towel energy category becomes equal to the energy for
the disposable paper towel when the cloth towel is used three to four times
before washing. At a useful life of 100, the cloth towel and paper energy
values become equal when the towel is used two to three times before laun-
dering (Figure 3, page 41 r. The extremely light reusable towels would approach
the energy level of the paper with one to two uses before laundering. In
some households, the reusable kitchen towel is used several times per day
for 2 or 3 days before laundering* At 15 uses before laundering the energy
value would approach 0.06 million Btu per spill cleanup, compared with
0.5 million Btu for the paper towel at 1.86 towels per spill, or 0.27 mil-
lion Btu at one towel used per spill.
2. Napkins2'3'4
a. Home Use (50 percent rayon, 50 percent polyester): The
impact data for the napkin product category (Table 3) are based on the pro-
duct profiles associated with 1,000 uses (or use at 1,000 meals). The re-
usable napkins are assumed to be used for one meal and then laundered. It
was assumed that one paper napkin (one ply) is used for each meal.

Scenarios for the cloth napkin show the impacts for 1, 27,
54, and 100 uses before discarding. Profile impacts using a cold wash are
presented for the 54 and 100 use napkin. The expected life of the home nap-
kin is estimated to be greater than 54 uses before discarding. For the one
use napkin the energy used in laundering represents 5.6 percent of the total
system energy. With a life of 100 uses, the energy for laundering represent
93 percent of the total profile energy. Therefore only small impact reduc-
tions are realized after 100 uses. For the hot wash system, the cloth napkin
system value would approach 0.7 million Btu as the minimum energy, regardless
of the expected life of the napkin. The cold wash system would approach a
limiting value of 0.35 million Btu.
The one-ply paper napkin system shows lower impact values
in five of the seven impact categories when compared with the most favor-
able cloth system. The reusable systems have lower impacts only in the post-
consumer solid waste category. The energy requirements of the paper system
are only 21 percent of the 100 use, hot wash napkin, and 37 percent of the
100 use cold wash napkin system. The water volume, industrial solid waste,
atmospheric emission and waterborne waste values for the paper system are
significantly lower than the reusable napkin systems.
b. Commercial Use (100 percent cotton); In commercial use,
the cloth napkin is expected to achieve 27.1 uses (1972 average from Linen
Supply Association of America). The impact data in Table 4 show the profile
values for an expected life of 1, 27, and 54 uses. The cloth napkins are
assumed to be used for one meal and then laundered. One two-ply paper napkin
is assumed to be used per meal.
The data in Table 4 shows the disposable paper napkin to have
lower values in five of the seven impact categories when compared with the
27 use cloth napkin (the industry use figure has varied from 40 to 27 from
1968 to 1972). The paper napkin has higher values in raw materials and post-
consumer solid waste. During meals where two paper napkins are used, the
impacts for the disposable and reusable products would be very similar except
for raw materials and postconsumer solid wastes. A commercial cold wash sys-
tem would be very competitive with the disposable product. However, commer-
cial laundries using cold water washes were not encountered during the research
work, and the data for cold wash is thus presented as a hypothetical situation
only.

3. Diapers; The comparisons for the diaper products are based
on the impacts associated with 100 changes. One diapering change requires
1.47 cloth diapers and 1.03 disposable on the average. The cloth values
are based, on 37 percent double and 5 percent three or more diapers per
change, while 3 percent of the disposable diaper changes use two diapers.
The summary impact data in Table 5 show scenarios for the cloth
system, home laundry, with a useful life of 25, 50, and 100 uses before
discarding. Cloth diapers are reported to last for over 100 uses with home

laundry. The other use systems are presented to show the effect of change
in useful life. The expected life of a diaper in the comraerical wash systems
is reported to be around 75 uses. Some commercial laundries reported that
on occation the expected life of the diaper is below five uses, due to theft
and change in service application.
The comparisons of the most typical situation would include the
100-use home laundered diaper, the 50-use commercial laundered diaper and
the disposable diaper system. The commercial laundry diaper system shows
the lowest impacts in each of the seven impact categories. With the excep-
tion of raw materials and postconsumer solid waste, the disposable diaper
shows impact levels lower than the home diaper system. However, all of the
disposable diaper system impacts are.higher than the 50-use commercial
diaper system.
As the number of uses before discard increases, the impacts for
the cloth systems approach the impacts represented by the laundering proces-
ses of each cloth system. The home laundry diaper system will approach 0.4
million' Btu as its minimum energy value. After 25 uses the decrease in sys-
tem energy becomes minimal. Therefore, when using a hot water wash, the home
diaper system .energy requirements will only approach the disposable system
energy requirements. The commercial cloth system will approach a minimum
energy value of 0.14 million Btu. The energy requirements of the commercial
and disposable systems are about the same for four to five uses before dis-
card for the cloth diaper. Energy savings in the commercial system become
minimal after 15 to 20 uses.
4. Bedding: The sheet systems were compared on the basis of 1,000
changes, one sheet per change. Normal life for the cloth sheet (50 percent
polyester and 50 percent cotton) is 300 uses before discard. The cloth sheets
were assumed to be laundered after each use. Impacts for the disposable
sheet are based on a nonwoven paper fiber sheet backed by a polyethylene
film. The product manufacturing process impacts of the disposable system
profile are assumed to be similar to the disposable diaper converting im-
pacts. For this study, only commercial laundering for the cloth sheet is
considered.
Table 6 contains the resource and environmental profile summaries.
In the raw materials and energy categories, the cloth sheet shows the smallest
impacts. The disposable sheet system has the lowest wastewater volume and the
least amount of waterborne wastes and industrial solid wastes. Atmospheric
emissions and postconsumer solid waste values favor the cloth system.
The energy requirements for the reusable and disposable system
become equal at around 20 uses of the cloth sheet. Energy savings become
minimal after 100 uses.

5. Containers (cups and tumblers)t The container product category
is divided into cold drink and hot drink containers.
a. Cold Drink Containers (9 fluid ounce)t The container sys-
tems were compared on the basis of 1 million servings in a commercial estab-
lishment. The reusable containers are assumed to be washed after each use
by a commercial dishwashing machine. The useful life of the reusable con-
tainers is expected to be around 1,000 uses based on information submitted
by the American Restaurant China Council.1 The data in Table 7 show impacts
for 100 and 1,000 uses to show the relation of useful life to impact sum-
maries.2
The reusable containers show lower impact values for the
raw materials, energy, industrial solid waste, atmospheric emission and
postconsumer solid waste categories, when compared to the paper and plastic
disposable products. The disposable plastic cup has the smallest quantity
of wastewater volume. Both of the disposable products show less waterborne
wastes than the reusable products. After 100 uses, more than 97 percent
of the waterborne wastes from the reusable containers is due to the dish-
washing process. After 1,000 uses, more than 90 percent of the total impacts
are due to the washing process. The energy requirement for both reusable
container profiles become less than the energy for the disposable systems
between 10 and 20 uses before discard.3
i 4
b. Hot Drink Containers (7 fluid ounce*? Table 8 presents
the impact summaries for the hot drink cups. Data submitted by the American
Restaurant China Council show the expected life for the china cup to be
1,360 uses before loss or discard. The scenarios presented for the reusable
cups include a use life of 100 and 1,000, for commercial use.2
The comparison of the reusable systems (1,000 uses) with
the paper cup system, shows that the reusables have less impacts in the
raw materials, energy, industrial solid waste, atmospheric emissions, and
postconsumer solid waste categories. The paper system shows less wastewater
volume and waterborne wastes.
The comparison of the reusable systems (1,000 uses) with the
plastic foam cup reveals the disposable product to have less raw materials,
wastewater volume, and waterborne waste, and less industrial solid waste.
The resource and environmental benefits from reusing the
china and melamine products level out after 300 uses so that only minimal
advantages are gained with additional uses. At 100 uses the washing impacts
represent approximately 50 percent of the total, while at 1,000 uses most
of the impact categories show that greater than 90 percent of the impacts
are due to washing the cups.

6. Plates; The impact summaries for the plate category represent
the values for 1 million uses (meals) for each plate. The expected life
if the china plate is 6,900 uses based on commercial replacement data. Sce-
narios are shown for 100, 1,000, and 6,900 uses for the china plate and
100 and 1,000 uses for the melamine plate Hindus try data were not submitted
regarding the useful life of the melamine product; however, the plate is
probably capable of withstanding well over 1,000 uses. The impact values
become fairly constant at the 1,000 use level, therefore a higher use rate
would have little effect on the comparisons*
With reference to Table 9, the disposable paper plate compares
quite favorably with the china plate at the 100 use level, except for one
impact category—postconsumer solid waste. However, with the 1,000 and 6,900
use china plate, the paper system has smaller impacts only in the waterborne
waste category. In comparison with the paper plate, both melamine systems
(100 and 1,000 use) show lower impacts in all categories except waterborne
wastes.
The disposable polystyrene foam plate requires higher energy levels
than the other plate systems. Also the atmospheric emissions for the foam
plate are relatively high due to the loss of hydrocarbon blowing agent. The
waterborne waste category shows less impacts for the foam plate than for
the reusable systems.
The energy requirements for the reusable product systems (Table 9)
are based on an electrically heated hot water approach to sanitizing dishes.
An alternate method for sanitizing dishes would be to use a chemical sanitiz-
ing agent with 140 F water for the rinse water, rather than to heat the rinse
water from 140°F to 180°F with electric booster heaters. For 1 hour of dish-
washer operation, this would reduce the natural gas requirement by 66.3
cubic feet and the electrical requirement by 27.1 kilowatt-hours, for a
total savings of around 362,500 Btu per hour, or 134 million Btu per million
plates. This would reduce the total dishwashing energy by 42 percent. Refer
to Volume I-B, pages E-2, E-3, and E-4 for a more complete discussion of the
energy requirements of commercial dishwashing.

CHAPTER 3
RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE ANALYSIS
A. Description of REPA Technique '
In the past, most environmental analyses have focused on a
single pollution category such as the air pollution caused by industry
A or the water pollution and solid wastes associated with industry B.
The pollution reported for these industries usually refers to one manu-
facturing step, at a single geographical location. This type of approach
will generally account for less than 25 percent of the total impacts
associated with a product. Accounting for a product's total environmental
impact requires a systems approach, beginning at the point of raw mate-
rial extraction and ending with the final disposal of the product. The
systems approach includes the use of natural resources and the environ-
mental pollution resulting from disposal.
The purpose of a total resource and environmental profile analy-
sis (REPA) is- to measure the resource and environmental impacts at each
stage of a product's life, and then condense the data into several basic
impact categories which can be used to determine a product's overall im-
pact relative to other products. The REPA (along with other analysis tools)
can be used to encourage the use of consumer products which cause minimum
resource and environmental impacts. The results of a REPA analysis must
be used with the understanding that the product may have much smaller im-
pacts than its competitor, and still be a resource or environmental villain.
To ascertain a product's absolute impact status would require a rigorous
treatment of impact data, environmental desires or regulation, and the
social values affected. However, after the impact data have been condensed
into the seven impact categories, each category can be examined to see if
abnormally high values exist. Comparisons of total impact values from simi-
lar products, or substitute products made from other materials, should
establish a reasonable level of confidence for estimating the relative de-
sirability of a product from a resource and environmental impact viewpoint.
Two broad classes of environmental impacts can be discerned:
(1) quantifiable impacts; and (2) those of a more subjective, qualita-
tive nature? The former category includes impacts which can be measured,
such as kilowatt-hours of energy and pounds of air pollutants, for vari-
ous manufacturing processes. The latter category includes impacts for
which hard data do not exist. For example, it is impossible to assign
precise numerical measures of aesthetic blight caused by mining activi-
ties. Another impact of the latter type is that for which some data exist,

-------
but which are of very poor quality. Examples of this are relative environ-
mental damage resulting from solid waste disposal of various products, or
the relative environmental damage caused by various air or water pollutants.
This study is confined to the determination of the quantitative impacts
only. Qualitative aspects, although referred to from time to time in this
study, are not part of this analysis.
1. Basic approach! Much of the effort expended in this study
went into determining the quantifiable impacts of manufacture. The term
"manufacture" is used throughout this report in a general sense--it in-
cludes those activities associated with materials from the time they
are extracted from the earth as raw materials to the point where they
are returned to the earth as wastes, including all transportation links
in the processing sequence. A summary of the impacts documented is shown
in Figure la.
For each process and subprocess, a set of seven basic impact
categories was established. These are described below:
Raw materials; The quantity and type of virgin raw materials
input to each operation were calculated in terms of a given product out-
put. Materials not intended to become part of the finished product, such
as cooling water and fuels, were excluded from raw materials. Other raw
materials, such as additives, which aggregate to less than 5 percent
of the total weight of the finished container were included in this cate-
gory by reporting their finished product weight. Each raw material was
counted only one time—when it became a part of the product or entered
the process as a solvent, catalyst, etc.
No attempt was made to define a relative weighting of the various
virgin materials based on availability or scarcity. The possibility exists
for developing such a scheme based on the projected reserves or scarcity
of recoverable raw materials still in the earth. However, examination
of the many raw materials consumed by these product systems shows that
none of these materials are in short supply. The materials included are!
limestone, salt, sand, soda ash, feldspar, and wood fiber. Crude oil
and natural gas are in relatively short supply, but they have been clas-
sified as energy resources, not as material resources. Wood fiber is
consumed, but timber growth exceeds the timber cut annually at present
in this country. Thus it is not a "short" material.
Energy! The energy used by each operation, including trans-
portation, for a given product output was reported. Process energy used
by the actual manufacturing operations was employed. That used for space
heating of buildings and other miscellaneous categories was excluded
wherever possible. Energy content of organic 'raw materials was also in-
cluded in energy summations. The second-order energy necessary to extract,

process and transport fuels was included, as well as the heating value
of the specific fuels used in a system. In this report, the Btu equiva-
lents used for a unit of the following types of energy are; kilowatt-hour
- 10,720 Btu, standard cubic foot natural gas - 1,030 Btu, 1 pound of
steam - 1,400 Btu, coal - 13,300 Btu per pound.
Water volume; The volume of wastewater per unit of product
output from each operation was reported.
Industrial solid wastes: The volume of solid waste per unit
of product output which must be landfilled or disposed of in some other
way was determined. Three categories were measured: process losses,
fuel combustion residues (ashes) and mining wastes. The first category--
process discards--includes solids resulting from air pollution control
and waste materials from manufacturing operations. Fuel combustion resi-
dues are ash generated by coal combustion. Mining wastes are primarily
materials discarded due to raw ore processing and do not include over-
burden.
Atmospheric emissions; This category includes only those emis-
sions generally considered to be pollutants, expressed in pounds per
unit of product .output. Thirteen identifiable pollutants were considered
for each operation--particulates, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, sulfur
oxides, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, other organics, chlorine, odorous
sulfur compounds, ammonia, hydrogen fluoride, lead and mercury. The
amounts reported represent actual discharges into the atmosphere after
existing emission controls have been applied. All such atmospheric emis-
sions were treated as being of equal weight, and no attempt was made to
determine the relative environmental damage caused by each of these pol-
lutants. However, we do recognize that there are differences in the rela-
tive harm caused by air pollutants.
Waterborne wastes; This category includes the water pollu-
tants from each operation expressed in pounds per unit product output.
These are effluents after wastewater treatment has been applied and rep-
resent discharges into receiving waters. Twenty-three specific pollutants
are included—BOD, COD, suspended solids, dissolved solids (oil field
brine), oil, fluorides, phenol, sulfides, acid, alkalinity, metal ions,
ammonia, cyanide, and others. Some factors such as turbidity and heat
were not included because there was no acceptable way to quantify their
impacts.
Postconsumer solid wastes: The volume of solid wastes gen-
erated by disposing of the product was determined. This is the solid
waste which most likely would be discarded into municipal solid waste
streams. It was assumed that 9 percent would be incinerated and 91 per-
cent would be landfilled.
22
-------
The first step in the REPA analysis is to determine the raw
|/alues for each of the above seven categories attributed to the produc-
tion of some unit quantity of a product. The data in these categories
are used to determine a product's resource and environmental impact rela-
tive to another product.
2. Organic raw materials--unique considerations: A unique
situation exists for products utilizing organic raw materials such as
wood, crude oil and natural gas. These materials have alternative uses
as feedstocks for material goods such as paper or plastic products, or
as fuels for energy. In assessing resource depletion, then, use of or-
ganic materials can be considered as depleting either material resources
or energy resources.
In the first option, the organic materials intended to become
part of a finished product are simply measured in pounds and treated
as any mineral resource. In the second option, the energy equivalent
of the pounds of organics used is added to the energy required to process
the materials. The pounds of organics used is not added to the raw mate-
rials category.
Another consideration regarding the fuel value of synthetic
materials is that finished plastic and paper containers are a potential
fuel even after they have been used and discarded. Thus, if the solid
fcxraste stream is incinerated and energy recovered, part of the original
fuel value of the natural gas and wood fiber is reclaimed.
Because of the importance of energy considerations, a strong
case can be made for the second option, which counts organic materials
as an energy resource rather than as a material resource. This treatment
reflects more accurately the primary environmental concern of the plas-
tics industry, which is the consumption of energy reserves in the form
of natural gas and petroleum. These fuels at present, and in the near
future, are in short supply to a greater extent than any other major
natural resource. As mentioned earlier, the material resources considered
in this study such as limestone and sand are much more abundant than
natural gas and petroleum. Counting petroleum and natural gas use as
equivalent on a pound-for-pound basis with limestone would not give as
true an environmental picture as counting the energy value of these ma-
terials. Because essentially no recovery of the intrinsic fuel value of
finished plastic products is practiced at present, the impact on the
nation's energy reserves due to plastics manufacture is the sum of the
process energy required for plastics manufacture, and the inherent fuel
value of the organic materials consumed. Thus, treating an organic mate-
rial as an energy input, rather than as a physical quantity of material,
23
-------
places the comparison of competitive product systems on a more logical
basis.*
3. Methodology; The general approach used to carry out the
calculations for the quantitative comparison follows a system approach.
All processes and subprocesses were first considered to be separate
and independent. For each process, a standard unit such as 1,000 pounds
of output was used as a basis for calculations. A complete materials
balance was first determined. If marketable coproducts or by-products
were produced, the material inputs were adjusted to reflect only the
input attributable to the output product of interest.
To illustrate this point, consider a hypothetical manufacturing
process that produces 1,000 pounds of product A in which we are interested.
At the same time, it produces 500 pounds of coproduct B and 100 pounds
of waste in the form of air emissions, water pollution, and solid waste.
The total input of raw materials is 1,600 pounds as shown in Figure lb.
An energy input of 3 x 10^ Btu is assumed for this example. The output
is 1,000 pounds of product A and 500 pounds of product B.
A 500-pound credit has been applied to the input materials
because we are not interested in product B. This reduces the input from
1,600 pounds to 1,100 pounds. In addition, because product B is one-third
of the product output of the process by weight, one-third of the wastes,
or 33 pounds, is attributed to product B; a new waste figure of 67 pounds
(100 pounds - 33 pounds = 67 pounds) results. Thus, the raw material
input value for product A is 1,067 pounds (1,100 pounds - 33 pounds =
1,067 pounds).
Once the raw impacts for the production of 1,000 pounds of
each process have been determined, a master flow chart can be established.
This chart will show the pounds of each process necessary to produce
1,000 pounds of the container systems being studied. At this point, the
raw data for a product system can be processed by the computer and com-
bined with transportation, postconsumer solid waste, and secondary impacts
to provide calculations showing the resource environmental profile for
the system. The calculated impact data can be used alone to demonstrate
the quantities of each impact category. Summary tables showing the total
impacts for the processes and systems are provided and appear in the Ap-
pendix.
The same logic applies to wood fiber, even though cellulosic materials
are not now a viable (fuel) energy source in the same way that plas-
tics feedstocks are. Thus, wood fiber was counted as a raw material
rather than its energy equivalent when it becomes part of the product.
Wood materials or wastes burned were counted as their energy equi-
valent.

4. Assumptions and limitations; Some assumptions are always
necessary to 'limit a study to a reasonable scope. It is important for
the reader to be aware of these limitations in order for him to under-
stand fully the scope and applicability of the study.
In the course of this research, the following assumptions were
made:
Data sources: An attempt was made in every case to obtain
data which were "typical" and which could be verified in the open litera-
ture. Extensive use was made of government agencies and publications,
technical associations and open literature sources. National average
data were used where possible. Certain sets of data involved proprietary
processes so that information was submitted to us on a confidential basis.
However, data in the public domain were used whenever possible.
Geographic scope; The "environment" was defined as the environ-
ment of the world. However, impacts occurring outside this country are
not well documented, so U.S. data were used to estimate foreign impacts.
Secondary impacts; Impacts resulting from extraction, proces-
sing and transporting fuels are secondary impacts and were considered
as well as the primary impacts of the fuel combustion. However, secondary
impacts resulting from such processes as manufacturing the capital are
ment used in container manufacture are small per unit output and can
be excluded without significant error.
Small quantities of materials: The impacts associated with
materials which aggregate to less than 5 percent by weight of the con-
tainer were not included. The materials are simply counted as pounds
of raw materials. However, the list of materials which comprise the "less
than 5 percent" category was examined to insure that no known "high en-
vironmental impact" materials were excluded from the analysis.
Electricity; Electrical energy is considered from the point
of view of its impact on the total energy resources of the nation. A
national average energy expenditure of 10,720 Btu is required for each
kilowatt-hour of electricity made available to the public. Hence, this
conversion factor is used rather than the direct use conversion factor
of 3,413 Btu per kilowatt-hour. The impacts from mining or extraction
of these fuels were included in the analysis.
Usage of scrap materials; Environmental impacts of scrap are
considered to be only those impacts incurred after the scrap is discarded
from the manufacturing site. Usually this includes only transportation
and scrap processing steps. The environmental impact of manufacture of
26
-------
the material which subsequently becomes scrap is allocated to the prime
product.
Point sources of pollution; The burden on specific ecosystems
was not considered, i.e., at specific point sources or geographic loca-
tions. It was assumed the operations impacted the total environment every-
where, not just where specific manufacturing operations are presently
located.
Availability of data; Some industrial plants do not keep records
in sufficient detail to determine the data in the desired form for a
REPA study. For instance, if pollutant emission data are needed for a
specific subprocess in a plant, that information may not be available.
The plant may have data only for several combined processes or the entire
plant. In this event, allocation must be used for data on the particular
processes of interest. As the concept of resource and environmental pro-
file studies gains acceptance, it is likely that more industries will
make an effort to collect these types of data from their own operations
and on a unit process basis. Engineering calculations of materials balances
for subprocesses were used in some instances where actual operating data
were not available.
Effluent data; EPA 1977 guidelines were used where possible
for air, water and solid waste discharges to the environment. If actual
discharges are less than the guidelines, then the smaller values are used.
For example some of the processes in the paperboard profile show impacts
smaller than the 1977 guidelines. The application of future standards
has the effect of shifting effluents from one category into others. It
does not usually add or subtract from total amounts of effluents. For ex-
ample, air pollution control usually removes air pollutants from air which
are then discharged to water bodies or,the solid waste stream. Thus, re-
ducing air pollution from a plant will .usually increase the water pollut-
ant and/or solid waste discharge.
Consumer impacts; Impacts related to consumer activities such
as transporting the milk home from the retail store were not included.
We have assumed that trips to retail stores are necessary for other rea-
sons and should not be attributed only to the product systems. 1

ANALYSIS OF THE RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY DATA
A. Analysis of Resource Inputs
1,2,3,4
I. Raw Materials; The quantity of raw materials required for
each product is presented in the summary tables* Petroleum and natural
gas inputs which become part of the products are counted as their energy
equivalents rather than as pounds of raw materials. The raw materials
which are present in the plastic systems represent process additives and
packaging contributions. Wood fiber which becomes part of a product is
counted as pounds of raw material. As are cotton fiber and inorganic raw
materials. The quantities of raw materials for the reusable products are
generally less than the comparable disposable product .due to their multiuse
factor.
Figure Ic demonstrates the raw material requirements for selected
reusable product systems as a function of the number of expected uses
the products will experience before discard. The raw materials for the
cloth towel system decrease sharply until the 10 use point. Thereafter,
the decrease is minimal with increase in expected life. The use points
for the other products where the decrease in raw materials becomes minimal
are: home napkins, 5 to 10 uses; cloth diapers, 5 to 10 uses; cloth sheets,
25 uses; china cups, 200 to 400 uses; and china plates, 500 to 1,000 uses.
Table 10 compares the expected life of the products represented
in Figure Ic with the use factor at the breaking point of raw material
decrease vs. useful life.

Based on Che relationships of useful life and raw materials
needed, the resource and environmental impact comparisons can be made
without knowing the exact outer limit of the use factors since the break
point of material increases occurs for below the expected life.

2. Wastewater volume: The water volume reported in this study
represents water discharged from the various processes as wastewater Figure
2 shows the comparison of water use for reusable .and disposable products
in each product category. In the towel category, the disposable paper
product shows less wastewater than the cloth towel except when the towel
is used five times before laundering. For the commercial napkin category,
the disposable paper napkin has the least water volume. In the diaper
comparisons, the disposable diaper shows less water use than the home
laundry system but slightly more than the commercial laundry system. The
disposable sheet system has lower wastewater volume than the reusable
cloth sheet. In the cold drink container comparison, the paper cup uses'
more water and the plastic cup less water than the reusable systems. The
plate comparisons also show wastewater volume for the paper system higher
than the reusables and water volume for the plastic system lower than
the reusables.

3. Energy Breakdown Analysis; This section will describe the
energy requirements of the product systems from the viewpoints of energy
type (process, transportation, material resource), energy source (petroleum,
natural gas, coal, wood fiber, etc.), and product usage patterns. Usage pat-
terns refer to the times a product is used before discarded, coupled with
the number of times used before washing.
a. Energy Tvpe and Source; Tables 11 through 18 present the
energy breakdown information for the six product categories, using the same
scenarios presented in the summary impact tables (Tables 2 through 9). The
individual energy values may not add exactly to the "total" values due to
computer rounding. Each table contains a percentage breakdown for fossil
fuel (petroleum, natural gas, and coal), and wood fiber (energy derived
from burning wood residues).
(1) Table 11 - Towel Products; Process energy accounts
for over 90 percent of the total energy for each product. The material re-
source energy is low since none of the products are manufactured from hydro-
carbon raw materials. The energy source information shows that fossil fuel
accounts for more than 90 percent of the energy for the reusable systems.
The paper towel system derives 24.6 percent of its energy from burning wood
residues.
(2) Tables 12 and 13 - Napkin Products; For both dis-
posable and reusable systems, process energy represents over 90 percent of
the total with transportation accounting for around 2 percent and material

resource energy from 3 to 7 percent. The material resource energy is asso-
ciated with the polyester component of the cloth napkin and with any plastic
packaging. The reusable systems rely on fossil fuels for over 90 percent of
their system energy, while the paper napkin requires 72.6 percent fossil
fuel and 25 percent wood-derived energy.
(3) Table 14 - Diapers; Again, process energy is the
dominant type for the Diaper category. Transportation energy varies from
2 to 4 percent; for the reusable products, the variation is directly related
to the product use factor. The cloth systems dependance on fossil fuel is
greater than 90 percent. Commercial laundry systems use a higher percent-
age of fossil fuels for water heating than the home systems, which will
use more electricity and thereby a higher percentage of nuclear and hydro-
power. The disposable diaper system derives 27 percent of its energy from
wood residues.
(4) Table 15 - Sheets: The cloth sheet systems show
substantial amounts of materials resource energy (1 to 41 percent depending
on use factor) due to the polyester fiber comprising 50 percent of the sheet.
The disposable sheet has around 35 percent material resource energy contri-
buted by the polyethylene backing for the nonwoven fiber.' For the cloth
sheets the natural gas energy percentage varies from 33 percent for a low
use factor to around 90 percent for the 300-use sheets. Again, the natural
gas used to treat the wash water increases relative to electrical power
demand, as the use factor increases. The disposable sheet system derives
7.9 percent of its energy requirements from wood residues while the reusable
sheets depend almost entirely on fossil fuels.
(5) Tables 16 and 17 - Containers; The reusable products
are heavily dependent upon fossil fuels as their primary energy source.
The paper containers derive 20 to 30 percent of their energy requirements
from wood residues. The higher transportation energy for the china cup sys-
tems is primarily due to the energy used in transporting the postconsumer
waste to a landfill. The transportation energy varies from 20 percent of
the total at 100 uses of the china cup to 3 percent for 1,000 use of the
cup. Therefore, transportation of raw materials and postconsumer solid waste
become important considerations in the china systems. Both the glass and
china manufacturing steps use primarily natural gas as their energy source
thereby increasing the percentage of fossil fuels required for the system.
The thermoformed plastic cup system shows 49 percent and the foam cup 21
percent material resource energy.
(6) Table 18 - Plates; High transportation energy for
the china products is again due to the energy required to dispose of the
postconsumer solid waste, and to transport raw materials. This energy de-
creases to less than 2 percent for the expected life scenario of 6,900
uses for the china plate.
40
-------
The material resource energy for the plastic foam plate
represents 46 percent of the total system energy, while the paper system
shows only 0.4 percent of the total. The melamine plate system varies from
5 to 17 percent for material resource energy depending on the use factor.
The reusable systems depend on fossil fuels for over
95 percent of their energy, while the paper plate system derives 33.6 percent
of its energy from wood wastes.
b. Energy as a Function of Use Factors and Usage Patterns?
In this report, the use factor refers to the number of times the product
is used before discarding as solid waste. The usage pattern identifies the
number of times the product is used before it is washed. Only the towel
category has usage patterns greater than one throughout the report.
Figure 3 presents the relationship of cloth towel usage pat-
terns and total system energy. The energy values are plotted for 1, 2, 3,
4 and 5 uses before laundering for cloth towels having use factors of 32
and 100.' The figure shows the two-ply paper towel system to have a constant
total energy of 0.496 million Btu. Both the 32 and 100 use cloth towel sys-
tems have larger total energy values at the usage pattern of one use before
laundering. The 32 use cloth towel energy value becomes equal to the paper
towel energy value at around 3.5 uses before laundering. The 100 use cloth
towel energy reduces to the energy of the paper system at around 2.3 uses
before laundering. If only one paper towel is used per spill, the paper
system energy becomes 0.271 million Btu per 1,000 spills.
With a usage pattern of one, the paper towel has the most
favorable position with respect to energy use. As the usage pattern and/or
use factor for the cloth towel increases, the cloth towel energy position
becomes very competitive with the paper system. Taking into account the
varying use habits of households, there does not appear to be a disconcernible
difference in energy requirements between the reusable and disposable towel
products.
Figure 4 compares the energy of the cellulose sponge, at
various usage patterns, with the paper towel system. With multiple uses before
laundering, the sponge displays a favorable position with respect to total
energy use.

The comparative energy analysis for the home and commercial
napkin systems is presented in Figure 5. The home napkin approaches a mini-
mum energy value of 0.695 million Btu. The 0.695 million Btu represents the
energy required to launder 1,000 napkins. As the use factor for the napkin
increases, the impacts for process other than laundering become very small.
The commercial cloth napkin system energy approaches 0.525 million Btu as
its minimum value. Therefore, both the one-ply and two-ply paper napkins
require the smaller amount of energy for 1,000 uses.
Figure 6 contains the energy analysis for the diaper systems.
The cloth system using home laundry approaches the energy of the disposable
diaper system. However, the cloth system using the commercial laundry re-
quires less energy than the disposable system after a use factor of around
five. The commercial system approaches a minimum energy of around 0.14 mil-
lion Btu per 100 changes.
Figure 7 shows the energy comparison of the cloth sheet and
nonwoven disposable sheet. Since energy estimates were made in the manu-
facturing step of the disposable sheet, the values in Figure 7 represent
our best estimate of the actual energy value. According to the data, the
reusable sheet requires less energy after around 20 uses. The estimate used
for the disposable sheet manufacturing step (0.157 million Btu per 1,000
sheets) represents 1.6 percent of the total disposable system. The estimate
used for the nonwoven fiber manufacture was 2.9 million Btu per 1,000 sheets
or 29 percent of the system total.
The energy comparisons of the cold and hot drink container
systems are presented in Figure 8. The reusable systems show less energy
than the disposable systems after a use factor of around 20, considering
commercial dishwashing only.
The energy analysis of the plate systems (Figure 9) .shows
that reusable systems use less energy after around 200 uses for the china
plate, and 50 uses for the melamine plate. The energy values represent re-
usable systems with commercial dishwashers.
B. Analysis of Environmental Outputs
1 2
1. Atmospheric Emissions:' Tables 19 through 24 contain tabulated
data for atmospheric emission summaries. The values have been grouped in
six categories: particles, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, sulfur oxides,
carbon monoxide, and others. The first five pollutants generally account
for more than 95 percent of the total emissions. The "other" category in-
cludes all other pollutants.

Figures 10 through 15 present the atmospheric emissions data
graphically, for selected products in each product category. Figure 10
shows the primary pollutant for the towel category to be sulfur oxides.
For the cloth and sponge products, the sulfur oxides result from the burn-
ing of coal used to generate the electricity required in the manufacturing
steps. In the paper profile the sulfur oxides result from both power genera-
tion and papemaking process losses.
In Figure 11 the sulfur oxides emissions associated with the com-
mercial napkin are less than the home napkin due to the more common use of
natural gas rather than electricity to heat the laundry water.
Figures 12 and 13 show that the pollutant profiles for the cloth
products are similar, in relative proportions, to the cloth towels and nap-
kins. The disposable diaper profile is similar in makeup to the other paper
products. The disposable sheet shows higher hydrocarbon emissions than a
typical paper product, due to the emissions from the plastic film system.
Figures 14 and 15 show that the atmospheric emissions are fairly
evenly distributed between the five primary pollutants.

2. Waterborne Waste; The analyses of the waterborne waste impact
categories are presented in graphic form in Figures 16 through 21, and
numerically in Tables 25 through 30.
For all of the products, the primary impacts are dissolved solids,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), suspended
solids, and dissolved solids. The pollutants reported in minor quantities
are listed in the "other" category.
The waterborne waste impacts are broken down in Figures 16 through
19 according to the primary impacts. The waterborne waste for the container
and plate category are divided into dissolved solids and other, since the
dissolved solids is so predominant in the dishwashing process.
1,4,5
3. Industrial Solid Waste; The industrial solid waste category
is divided into three sections: those impacts resulting from process, fuel
combustion, and mining/extraction operations. The results are presented
graphically in Figures 22 through 27, and numerically in Tables 31 through
36.
From Figure 22, the towel category products industrial solid waste
breakdown shows that process and mining wastes account for the largest pound-
age. The same is true for Figure 23, except the process solid wastes are
more predominant for the commercial cotton napkin and paper napkin. The
cotton napkin has more process wastes than the cotton-rayon" home napkin
due to the solids resulting from the cotton ginning process.

Figure 24 shows a different profile for the home and commercial
diaper systems, which is attributed to the larger quantity of detergents'
per pound of home laundry than for commercial laundry. In Figure 25, the
high ratio of process wastes for cloth bedding is attributed to the raw
materials required in the washing process. Figures 26 and 27 show a high
ratio of mining wastes for the glass and china products.
1,2,3,4,5,6
4. Postconsumer Solid Waste; Table 37 contains the postconsumer
solid waste data for each product. The first column shows the rounded values
for the weight of one product item, in pounds. The second column shows the
pounds of packaging material associated with one product item. Corrugated
materials were assumed to be recycled and therefore not considered to enter
the solid waste stream. In most instances, packaging represents plastic
wrapping film, with a small amount of paper wrapping and paper cartons. The
comparison basis describes the number of use situations selected to compare
the products; and the use factor shows the number of times the product is
used before entering the PCSW stream. The pounds of PCSW as product is ob-
tained by multiplying the weight per product item times the number of items
required in the comparison. The pounds of packaging entering the PCSW stream
is found by multiplying the items for comparison by the pounds of PCSW
packaging per .product item.
The total pounds column is the sum of the product and packaging
contribution to PCSW. The volume figures are taken from the computer
out, and represent the estimated landfill volume associated with each
duct, with the comparison basis and use factor values taken into considera-
tion. Since density values for the products vary from source to source,
and compaction values are only estimates, the PCSW volumes represent best
estimates as to the actual landfill volume experienced.

Density values given in the open literature and those obtained from industry
sources show wide variations. Therefore, the landfill volume attributed
to the products as shown in this report, are only approximations to actual
landfill volume
Approximately 9 percent of the combustible products are incinerated.

CHAPTER 5
REPA PROFILE ANALYSIS FOR EACH PRODUCT CATEGORY
This chapter presents materials flow diagrams, detailed REPA
computer tables, and brief discussions of the product profiles. The fol-
lowing paragraph explains the data format in the computer tables*
A. Interpretation of REPA Computer Tables
The REPA profile tables present the inputs, outputs, summary
values, and environmental index'values for each product type. For example,
Table 39 represents REPA data for a cloth towel profile with a use factor
of 32 and laundry factor of 1. The input section shows the quantities of
raw materials, energy, and water required by the particular scenarios under
discussion. The output section identifies and quantifies the primary air,
water, and solid waste pollutants associated with the product profile.
In the summary section, the components of each impact category are combined
and expressed as the total quantity of a particular impact category. For
example, the sum of the 14 air emission pollutants is shown under air emis-
sion.
The index values represent the percent contribution a process
in the total profile has relative to the total value of a particular impact
category* For example, in Table 39 the total values for each product profile
are presented in the last column "Cotton Towel Sys, Tot, 32 Uses." The
total amount of raw materials is 10.310 pounds, the total energy is 1.188
million Btu, etc. The energy contribution for the towel wash process (5th
column) is 0.941 million Btu. Under the index section, the percent contri-
bution of the towel wash process (79.2) to the total cloth towel system
energy (1.188 million Btu) is calculated by dividing the wash process energy
by the system total energy and converting to percent (0.941 -r 1.188) x
100 = 79.2 percent. The index section is a valuable analysis aid, since
the reader can rapidly pick out the processes in the total profile which
contribute the highest or lowest percentages in each impact category.
The detailed analyses of the tables are left to the reader. This
study involves 23 separate products with numerous scenarios presented for
the reusable items. An in-depth analysis of each product or product scenario
is beyond the intended scope of the contract. The important aspects of the
study results are presented in the summary chapter (Chapter 2). The detailed
computer printouts are presented in Chapter 5 to enable the reader to obtain
the analysis detail desired. These data can be used with the very detailed
appendix data to study the total system profiles in-depth.
77
-------
In general, the washing or laundering impacts for the reusable
items account for the majority of the impacts in their REPA profiles* Re-
garding the disposable paper products, the pulp manufacturing and paper-
making steps generally account for around 75 percent of the impacts. The
transportation processes for the disposable products account for 2 to 6
percent of the total system energy, with 2 or 3 percent being the most
common* The profiles for the disposable plastic products show that the
resin systems account for the majority of the impacts. The manufacturing
energy becomes an important part of the profile of the foam plastic
products.
The material-flow diagrams and the REPA computer data for the
product profiles, are presented in Figures 28 through 50 and Tables 39
through 62.

APPENDIX A A
RESOURCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE ANALYSIS
The following sets of appendices present the basic raw data used
to develop the resource and environmental profile analysis of the disposables
and reusables within the basic categories: towels, napkins, diapers, bedding,
drinking containers and plates*
Appendix BBdiscusses the basic fuel factors used in this study and
identifies the impacts associated with the combustion of a unit quantity of
fuel, and the impacts for generating and delivering electric energy. The
impacts associated with the various modes of transportation are also in-
cluded.
Appendix CCdiscusses the disposable systems: paper towels, paper
napkins (home and commercial), disposable diapers, nonwoven sheets, cold
drink containers (paper and thennoformed polystyrene), hot drink containers
(paper and foam polystyrene), and plates (paper and foam polystyrene).
Appendix DDdiscusses the reusable systems: cotton cloth towels,
cloth napkins (home and commercial), cotton cloth diapers, cotton and
polyester sheets, glass and polypropylene tumblers, ceramic and melamine
hot cups, and ceramic and melamine plates.
In Appendices 3>b and EE,the subsystems and processes of each sys-
tem are enumerated. Also, the environmental impacts associated with 1,000
pounds or specified unit (e.g., 1,000 sheets, 1 million drinking containers)
of each process are presented.
Appendix FFpresents computer tables showing the total impacts
of each system and process.

APPENDIX BB
BASIC FUEL FACTORS
This section contains data and information used to convert raw
fuel and electric energy input values into corresponding environmental
impact parameters* The basic factors are discussed in three sections:
1* Mobile and Stationary Sources;
2. Electric Energy; and
3. Transportation*
I, Mobile and Stationary Sources
A set of atmospheric emission factors resulting from the combus-
tion of fuels has been developed by the authors of this report in coopera-
tion with staff in the Physical Sciences Division of Midwest Research
Institute (MRI). They are reported in Table B-l. These data represent both
a comprehensive literature search and data collected from a nationwide
telephone survey* The primary source was Reference 6, but numerous other
literature sources were also used* The factors represent national average
emissions after pollution controls have been applied. They are representa-
tive of projections of levels which were experienced in 1975.
The total impacts associated with using a given quantity of a
fuel are composed of: (1) precombustion impacts and (2) combustion impacts.
Precombustion impacts refer to the resource and environmental impacts as-
sociated with extracting, refining and shipping the fuel to its location
of use. Combustion impacts represent the energy content of the fuel plus
the environmental pollutants (atmospheric emissions) discharged upon com-
bustion of the fuel. The sum of the precombustion and combustion impacts
are identified as "secondary impacts," and represent the basic fuel impact
factors associated with burning fossil fuels*
Table B-l contains the basic fuel factors for 12 energy resources,
Tables B-2 and B-3 contain the precombustion impacts for natural gas and
refined fuels*

II, Electric Energy
The environmental impacts associated with use of electrical energy
are summarized in Table B-4. The impacts were calculated on the basis of a
composite kilowatt-hour (kw-hr). A composite kilowatt-hour is defined as 1
kilowatt-hour generated by the U.S. national average mix of fossil fuels
and hydroelectric power. Data were obtained from the Edison Electric Insti-
tute for 1974 (Reference 84).
Hydropower was assigned an energy equivalent of 3,413 Btu per
kilowatt-hour and nuclear energy was assigned an energy equivalent of
21,330 Btu per kilowatt-hour. The amounts of fuel required are the total
1974 U.S. fuel requirements for electric utilities, divided by the total
number of kilowatt-hours sold to customers. Impact factors from Table B-l
were combined with the fuel quantities to arrive at the impact values in
Table B-4.
III. Transportation
Environmental impacts occur when goods are transported as a
result of the consumption of fossil fuels to provide the necessary energy.
In this study, the modes of transportation included are rail, truck, pipe-
line, and barge. These impacts were calculated by determining the kinds
and amounts of fuels used by each mode on a national average basis. Impacts
were then calculated for 1,000 ton-miles by mode.
A. Rail
A complete set of fuel consumption data indicates that diesel
fuel accounted for 98 percent of the energy expended by railroads in 1968
(Reference 85). We assumed that 100 percent of the energy was supplied by
diesel fuel and that 5.63 x lO^ gtu of fuel were used. This fuel use re-
sulted in 7.68 x 10^- ton-miles of transportation (Reference 86). The cor-
responding fuel consumption was 5.25 gallons per 1,000 ton-miles. This
value was combined with information in Table B-l to yield the impacts pre-
sented in Table B-5.
B. Truck
Q
In 1967, a total of 9.29 x 10 miles were traveled by trucks
engaged in intercity highway hauling. This resulted in 1.10 x 10 ton-
miles of transportation (Reference 87). It is estimated that 35 percent
of these miles were traveled by gasoline engine trucks while 65 percent
were traveled by diesel-fueled trucks (Reference 85). National average
fuel mileage data are not available, but a reasonable assumption based on
actual experience is that this type of truck travel results in fuel con-
sumption rates of about 5 miles per gallon for either type of fuel. Thus,

6*5 x 10° gallons of gasoline and 1.20 x 10' gallons of diesel fuel were
used in 1967. From this, it was calculated that 5.9 gallons of gasoline
and 10*9 gallons of diesel fuel were consumed per 1,000 ton-miles. Using
data in Table B-l, impacts were calculated and reported in Table B-5.
During 1966, barge traffic resulted in 5.0 x 1011 ton-miles of
transportation (Reference 88). Fuel consumption was 6.99 x 10 gallons of
diesel fuel and 3.09 x 10^ gallons of residual. Therefore, 1.4 gallons of
diesel fuel and 6.1 gallons of residual were consumed per 1,000 ton-miles,
Impacts were calculated and are listed in Table B-5.
D. Crude Oil and Products Pipeline
Sources in the pipeline industry report that, on the average,
about 30 cubic feet of natural gas fuel are required to transport one
barrel of oil 300 miles through a pipeline. This requirement translates
to 30 cubic feet for 45 ton-miles, or 0.67 cubic feet of natural gas per
ton-mile of crude petroleum transportation. This factor, combined with
information from Table B-l, gives the data necessary to calculate the
impacts for 1,000 ton-miles of pipeline transportation. Pipeline trans-
portation impacts for moving other types of liquids of interest in this
study were assumed to be approximately the same as for crude oil.
According to the data in Table B-5, transportation by truck
has the greatest environmental impacts of the four transportation modes.
This is a result of the relative inefficiency of the gasoline engine.
Truck transportation ranks highest in every impact category. Computer
analysis comparing the four transport modes shows that the impacts for
trucks are more than double that of barge transportation, greater than
triple that of rail transportation, and nearly five times higher than
pipeline transport. Despite these rather high values for trucks, trans-
oortation per se is usually only a small percent (e.g., 10 percent) of
he total impact of a particular product system.

!• Paper Towels
The processes necessary to accomplish the manufacture of paper
towels are: (1) pulpwood harvesting; (2) bleached kraft and sulfite pulp
production; (3) salt mining; (4) chlorine manufacturing; (5) caustic manu-
facturing; (6) limestone mining; (7) lime manufacturing; (8) sulfur mining;
(9) sulfuric acid manufacturing; (10) tissue papermaking; arid, (11) paper
towel conversion. A brief description of the steps in each process will
be given, along with environmental impact data. (Also, sources and assump-
tions will be enumerated when necessary.)
A. Pulpwood Harvesting
Impacts incurred during logging activities were determined from
specific company operating data (Reference 89). The primary impacts incur-
red are related to fuels required for the cutting of timber and hauling it
to a landing. The timber is then transported directly to a paper mill, or
in many cases, to a concentration point which serves as a point of origin
for shipping logs to the mill gathered from several landings.
Impacts were considered here only from roundwood consumption.
The wood delivered to mills surveyed by the American Paper Institute for
this study is 61 percent roundwood, the remainder being wood chips or
wastes obtained from other types of wood processing mills. However, in
past years, chips and other wastes were burned, rather than used, so they
are treated here as being a waste by-product from another industry. Hence,
less environmental impact is attributed to wood harvesting than if the
wood was all supplied as roundwood. The impacts of harvesting wood which
•inci up as chips is allocated to the primary product for which it was
harvested. Thus, wood ending up as sawdust is allocated to lumber products
3nd is not included here. In addition, in the case of the mills studied,
these residues were generated on-site or close by so the transport of
the residues was negligible.
Table C-l summarizes the data pertaining to pulpwood harvesting.
The gasoline represents the fuel used for cutting and hauling the logs.
The atmospheric emissions were derived by estimating the effluents from
the burning of wood wastes left in the forest. The factors used were as
follows: (Reference 90)

Atmospheric Emissions 0.14 lb 89
1. Ten percent of the harvested roundwood is left in the woods
as a residue.
2. Seven percent of the amount left is presently burned.
3. Two percent of the amount burned is emitted into the atmos-
phere as a particulate emission.
Thus, for 1,000 pounds wood harvested, there is 100 pounds of waste, 7
pounds of which is burned. Of this 7 pounds, 2 percent, or 0.14 pound
is emitted to the atmosphere.
One item of possible significance is omitted from Table C-l.
An unknown amount of water pollution in the form of suspended solids re-
sults from run-off of harvested forests. However,, at present, it is not
possible to accurately estimate to what extent these solids actually reach
streams. Although perhaps 7 pounds of suspended solids are generated,
their final deposition is probably at other locations in the forest, and
not in streams. Therefore, this category was not included at this time
because the amount of stream pollution from this source is quite likely
very small (Source: Franklin Associates, Ltd.).
B. Bleached Kraft and Sulfite Pulp (for tissue manufacture)
Tissue products (such as towels, napkins and portions of dispos-
able diapers) are manufactured from wood pulp. Most of the wood pulp uti-
lized in these products is prepared by the kraft process, with the remainder
being prepared by the sulfite process.
The raw materials required for pulp manufacture are shown in
Figure C-l.* The predominant raw material is wood, which comes from two
* These data are based on actual materials requirements for pulp used in
manufacture of towels, napkins and disposable diapers (see Reference
89).

sources: trees and wood residues. Sixty-one percent of the wood required
for pulp manufacture comes directly from trees, while 39 percent comes
from by-products of other wood processing facilities. Typical of the wood
residues used are sawdust and trim from saw mills.
The remaining raw materials are chemicals required to carry out
the wood pulping and bleaching but which are not, for the most part, in-
tended to become part of the finished product. The impacts of manufacture
of these chemicals are discussed elsewhere in this report.
Kraft pulping hinges on the chemical digestion of wood. The
digester is a closed container which holds wood chips and digestion li-
quors. The liquor is mainly an aqueous solution of sodium sulfide. In
order for digestion to take place, heat and pressure are applied to the
mixture of wood and liquor. The digestion process delignifies the wood
and removes other chemical components which hinder paper forming. After
pulp is "blown" from the digester by the steam used in the process, it
is washed free of the chemicals, screened and refined for entry into the
paper forming section of the mill. Sulfite pulp is made in a similar fash-
ion, although the chemical composition of the digestion liquor varies, de-
pending on the particular sulfite process employed.
One of the most desirable features of the kraft (and some sul-
fite) pulping processes is that the used digestion liquor is burned. The
liquor contains a high percentage of flammable wood components and so it
burns readily. The digestion chemicals are recovered and heat is released
from the organic components. Liquor combustion, plus the use of the bark
removed from the incoming logs as a fuel results in wood providing a sig-
nificant amount of the energy required for a pulp mill. Auxiliary energy
is usually needed, and comes primarily from fuel oil, natural gas, coal,
and electricity.
A survey of operating mills was undertaken by the American Paper
Institute (API) to determine the extent to which pulp types were used in
the products studied, and to determine the environmental impacts of manu-
facture. In addition, various literature sources and other paper industry
organizations were utilized for consultation and sources of data. The re-
sults of this survey were combined with other confidential data on energy
use and environmental impacts routinely reported to API and the National
Council on Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) in order to develop data
to be used in this study. The data were combined into a wood pulp module
which includes both kraft and sulfite in the proportion actually used by
the industry. The survey was conducted for the 1975 production year and
included 27 pulp mills. The production composite was 74 percent kraft pulp,
20 percent sulfite pulp and 6 percent listed as other.
C-4
-------
Figure C-l shows the materials required for pulp manufacture
as determined by API, while Table C-2 contains the impact data for the
kraft and sulfite pulp. The unit selected is 1,000 pounds of market pulp
which is a dried and baled form of wood pulp. Market pulp is commonly used
by the tissue manufacturers* However, in many cases papermaking equipment
is located adjacent to a pulp mill, so pulp is used in the "slush" form,
avoiding the pulp drying stage. Revised energy values for slush pulp are
shown on Table C-2, reflecting the saving of 2 million Btu per 1,000 pounds .
which results from using slush pulp.
Air pollutants generated from pulp manufacture are of two types:
on-site pollutants and off-site pollutants. Table C-3 summarizes the on-
site pollutants which are actual measurements obtained from the API survey
(Reference 89). In addition to the on-site generation, pollutants (and
other impacts) result from secondary processes, such as transporting, min-
ing and refining of fuels. The impacts from these secondary off-site sources
are summarized in Table C-4 for the fuels consumed at the pulp mills. The
impacts associated with electricity generation are reported elsewhere.
C. Salt Mining
Salt (sodium chloride) is obtained primarily by the following
three methods:
. Pumping water into salt deposits and recovering the salt as
brine.
. Mining rock salt.
. Solar evaporation of seawater.
The first method uses water to dissolve the salt and bring it
to the surface. About 320 gallons of water will dissolve 1,000 pounds of
salt. The saturated solution is removed from an adjacent well or by means
of an annular pipe. The brine will contain sodium chloride, calcium chlo-
ride and magnesium chloride plus traces of hydrogen sulfide and ferrous
ions. The purification required will vary and depends on the purity of
the deposits.
Rock salt is "mined" by blasting the mineral and removing the
salt crystals. The crystals are crushed in the mine and then again at the
surface. The remaining processes consist of grinding and screening opera-
tions. The product is not as pure as salt from brine wells.
Seawater contains about 3.7 percent solids of which about 77.8
percent is sodium chloride. The water is evaporated to various degrees
in several ponds. The evaporation steps serve to precipitate most of the

compounds other than sodium chloride. After the final evaporation step,
the salt solids are crushed and washed with salt brine to produce an in-
dustrial grade material. Additional steps can be incorporated to produce
high purity salt.
Table C-5 shows the data pertaining to mining 1,000 pounds of
salt. The values are, in most, national averages and inclv.de impacts from
each salt mining process.

The raw materials category shows that 1,026 pounds of mineral
must be mined to ship 1,000 pounds of salt. The rock salt mining phase
of the industry experiences its losses in the form of fines. Some mines
have as much as 20 percent waste. The water-brine type of mine will ex-
perience losses from water discharge. The average purity of salt deposits
is around 98.5 percent.
D. Chlorine Manufacture
Approximately 97 percent of the chlorine produced in the United
States is manufactured by electrolytic caust-chlorine processes (Figure
C-2). The remainder comes from a nitrosyl chloride process, electrolysis
of hydrochloric acid, and as a by-product from the electrolytic production
of caustic potash, magnesium, and metallic sodium.
The electrolysis of sodium chloride is performed by two proces-
ses: (1) mercury cathode cells; and (2) diaphragm cell. The mercury cell
produces about 24.2 percent of the electrolytic chlorine while the dia-
phragm cell accounts for about 75.8 percent.

The .mercury cathode cell process can be described as follows:
NaCl + xHg =1/2 C12 + Na (Hg)x and
Na(Hg)x +H20 = NaOH + 1/2 1^ + xHg
The salt is electrolyzed, producing chlorine gas at the graphite (or metal)
anodes; metallic sodium, released by the passage of current, reacts with
the mercury cathode to produce an amalgam* The amalgam is sent to another
compartment of the cell where it reacts with water to produce hydrogen and
very pure sodium hydroxide. The outstanding feature of the mercury cell is
the high grade and concentration of the caustic liquor, which may be used
in other industries without further purification. The disadvantages of the
mercury cell are its higher energy requirements and loss of mercury. Some
of the methods by which mercury can escape the plant are (Reference 101):
1. Carryover in the hydrogen gas stream;
2. Cell room ventilation air;
3. Washing water from cell rooms;
4. Purging of the brine loop;
5. Disposal of brine sludges; and
6. End box fumes.
Close attention to product and effluent stream is necessary to keep the
mercury loss at a minimum. The average mercury consumption from this type
of plant in 1972 was 0.183 pound per 1,000 pounds of chlorine produced
(Reference 102). This value is based on the 1972 production of chlorine
from mercury cells, which was 2,389,356 short tons, and mercury purchases
of 11,519 flasks (875, 444 pounds) .
The diaphragm cell uses graphite anodes and steel cathodes. The
brine solution is passed to the anode compartment where chlorine gas is
formed and taken off through a pipe at the top of the cell. The other ions
in solution flow through an asbestos diaphragm and react at the cathode
to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. The diaphragm prevents back diffu-
sion of the cathode reaction products. The caustic-brine solution contain-
ing hydrogen is removed from the cathode compartment and processed to re-
cover hydrogen and caustic. The chlorine from the anode compartment is
cooled and then dried in a sulfuric acid scrubber. The gas is compressed
and cooled to form liquid chlorine. Shipment of chlorine is generally by
rail and barge.

Table C-6 shows the data pertaining to the manufacture of chlo-
rine. The manufacturing data are a combination derived by adding 24.2 per-
cent of the mercury cathode cell impacts to 75.8 percent of the diaphragm
cell impacts.

The largest impact is the amount of electrical energy required
to operate the cells. About 21 million Btu are required for the 2,170 pounds
of products. The amount allocated to chlorine is about 9.5 million Btu.
C-ll
-------
The solids value was estimated by calculating the amount of sludge
produced during the manufacturing process. The brine sludges contain about
50 parts per million mercury.
The sodium content of the slat raw material represents part of
the by-product sodium hydroxide, and should not be counted as a raw material
for chlorine.
E, Sodium Hydroxide Manufacture
The electrolytic method for manufacture of sodium hydroxide (caus-
tic soda) accounts for more than 90 percent of the total U.S. production.
The caustic is actually a by-product of the chlorine manufacturing process
described in the previous section.
Table C-7 contains the basic impacts for the production of 1,000
pounds of caustic.
F. Limestone Mining
Limestone is used by the glass industry as a source of calcium
oxide in glass furnace operations. The limestone is heated in the furnace
so that carbon dioxide is released, leaving calcium oxide behind. Calcium
oxides act as a chemical stabilizer in the finished glass product.
Limestone is quarried primarily from open pits. The most econom-
ical method of recovering the stone has been blasting, followed by mechanical
crushing and screening. According to the Bureau of Mines, environmental
problems are greater for crushed-stone producers than for any other mineral
industry operation except sand and gravel (Reference: Mineral Facts and
Problems, U.S. Department of Interior, 1970). The reason for this is that
limestone typically is mined quite close to the ultimate consumer, which
frequently dictates that the mining operation be near, or even within,
heavily populated areas. Hence, environmental problems are accentuated
because of high visibility.
The environmental consequences of limestone mining include: noise
from heavy equipment and from blasting; dust from mining, crushing and
screening; solid residues not properly disposed of; general unsightliness;
and occasional contamination of streams. None of these problems is insur-
mountable, and many quarries are presently operated in an environmentally
acceptable fashion.

Data concerning the quantifiable environmental impacts of lime-
stone mining are summarized in Table C-8. Even though the quarrying opera-
tions may be objectionable as a neighborhood problem, they produce relatively
low impacts on a tonnage basis (partly because of the inherently high density
of the stone). The major problem is dust, i.e., particulates. However, com-
pared to the other operations in the glass container system, the impacts of
limestone mining are quite small.

G. Lime Manufacture
Lime is produced by calcining limestone. Limestone (calcium car-
bonate) is heated in a kiln to a high temperature so that any water present
is driven off and the carbonate is broken up by the evolution of carbon
dioxide. The product remaining is lime (calcium oxide). Significant environ-
mental impacts occur as a result of fuel combustion and material losses.
For 1,000 pounds of lime produced, approximately 800 pounds of carbon dioxide
are released. An additional 200 pounds of material impacts on the environ-
ment in the form of solid waste and as dust (particulate emission). The
data are summarized in Table C-9. This table was derived from U.S. Census
of Manufactures data for the year 1972, with the energy values adjusted
downward to reflect energy conservation through 1980. Energy-use was as-
sumed to decline at a compound rate of 1.4 percent per year from the base
year to 1980 (Reference 10).

H. Sulfur Mining
The Frasch process of mining sulfur is the most common type of
operation employed in the United States. In consists basically of sulfur
being forced to the surface through a well shaft by superheated water that
has been previously injected into a sulfur-bearing rock formation. The
major requirements for mining sulfur by the Frasch process are a large
supply of water and fuel, a power plant to produce steam, compressed air,
electricity and a drilling apparatus.
Environmental impacts generated from sulfur mining are due largely
to the use of fuels as an energy source for steam generation.
Sulfur is considered one of the most versatile elements. Its
consumption, along with that of sulfuric acid for which sulfur is the basic
raw material, is often used as a measure of economic activity in the U.S.
Table C-10 lists the data used in the study for the mining of 1,000 pounds
of sulfur. The significant impacts are the large quantity of natural gas
consumed, the water used, the solid wastes, and the particulate air emis-
sions.

I. Sulfuric Acid Manufacture
There are two basic methods for manufacturing sulfuric acid--
the chamber process and the contact process. Both methods utilize sulfur,
which is most often obtained from mineral sulfides, smelter gas, gypsum,
petroleum or other sulfur-bearing compounds. The sulfur is burned to yield
sulfur dioxide (S02> which is further oxidized to sulfur trioxide (803)
which is absorbed in weak sulfuric acid (H_SO,) or water to form sulfuric
acid. 2 4
In the chamber process the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur
trioxide is carried out by the catalytic action of nitrogen oxides, whereas
in the contact process the oxidation is performed by the catalytic (contact)
action of various catalysts such as platinum, palladium, iron and various
vanadium oxides.
Since more than 97 percent of the sulfuric acid produced in the
U.S. is made by the contact process and elemental sulfur is the raw material
used in most of these plants, a sulfur burning contact method of manufacture
is assumed for the study. Table C-ll presents the raw data for sulfuric
acid manufactureo

The major sources of pollution generated from sulfuric acid manu-
facture are sulfur oxides and waste acid contained in the absorber exit
gases. Even though elaborate control methods are employed on absorber stacks
at most plants, approximately 2 pounds of acid per 1,000 pounds of acid pro-
duced is released to the atmosphere which, along with hydrated sulfur trioxide
emissions, may form a visible plume of acid mist above the absorber stacks.
Sulfur dioxide is also contained in the absorber exit gases although the
amount that is released is somewhat dependent upon the amount of oleum (fum-
ing acid) produced by the plant. Sulfur dioxide emissions average approxi-
mately 20 pounds of SO^ per 1,000 pounds of acid produced.
C-17
-------
Waterborne acid wastes, averaging 7 pounds acid per 1,000 pounds
_acid produced, result primarily from equipment washdowns, handling losses
|nd spills, and constitute the majority of the waterborne wastes from con-
tact plants.
J. Tissue Papermaking
After wood pulp has been produced (and bleached to achieve a
specified brightness) it is either dried, or sent to a paper-making machine
in slush form. If it is dried, it is baled and transported to a paper-making
site, where it is defibered and beaten into a slush pulp by mixing with
water in a large pulping device. In any event, the input material for a
paper machine is a slush pulp.
Papermaking equipment consists of a paper machine which utilizes
an endless wire or plastic mesh screen, sets of water removal devices,
and dryers. The slush pulp is placed on the rapidly moving screen where
water drains out of the pulp and leaves a fiber mat on the screen. The
fiber mat is p.icked up on rolls, and in subsequent operations additional
water is removed. The paper is then dried on steam heated rolls until it
is dry enough to wind into large rolls. These rolls of finished paper are
the final product of the paper-making operation.
Table C-12 presents the impact data for manufacturing the paper
to be used in towels. These data were obtained from a survey of paper mills
ference 89), which represents 89 percent of the U.S. towel production.
data are complete except for values of air pollutants, which were not
available for all mills. The values given in the tables are based on the
percent of total production given in parentheses. However, these values
for air pollution were proportionately increased so as to represent all
mills by assuming that air pollutants from mills not reporting is the same
as from those reporting air pollution.
K. Conversion of Paper to Consumer Paper Towels
Rolls of paper are transported to converting sites for manufac-
ture into final products. In many cases the converting site is located
quite close to the papermaking site, but sometimes the rolls are transported
for a long distance. In any event, at the converting site, materials are
assembled for the converting operation.
The converting process is a relatively simple operation where
the rolls of paper are unwound, with the product being cut to proper size,
decorated (if required), rewound on a core (if required) and packaged for
shipment. The impacts of converting to 1,000 square feet, two-ply consumer
towels are shown in Table C-13.

The major processes in producing home paper napkins are: (1) pulp
wood harvesting; (2) bleached kraft and sulfite pulp production; (3) salt.
mining; (4) chlorine manufacturing; (5) caustic manufacturing; (6) limestone
mining; (7) lime manufacturing; (8) sulfur mining; (9) sulfuric acid manu-
facturing; (10) tissue papermaking; and (11) converting" to home paper napkins.
Processes 1 through 9 are discussed in the paper towel section
(Appendix C-I). A discussion of the remaining processes will follow.

Processes 1 through 9 are discussed in Appendix C-I (Paper Towels).
The remaining processes are discussed on the following pages.
A. Tissue Papermaking
After wood pulp has been produced (and bleached to achieve a
specified brightness) it is either dried, or sent to a papermaking machine
in slush form. If it is dried, it is baled and transported to a papermaking
site, where it is defibered and beaten into a slush pulp by mixing with
water in a large pulping device. In any event, the input material for a
paper machine is a slush pulp.
Papermaking equipment consists of a paper machine wHich utilizes
an endless wire or plastic mesh screen, sets of water removal devices, and
dryers. The slush pulp is placed on the rapidly moving screen where water
drains out of the pulp and leaves a fiber mat on the screen. The fiber mat
is picked up on rolls, and in subsequent operations additional water is re-
moved. The paper is then dried on steam heated rolls until it is dry enough
to wind into large rolls. These rolls of finished paper are the final prod-
uct of the papermaking operation.
Table C-17 present the impact data for manufacturing the paper to
be used in towels, napkins and diapers. These data were obtained from a sur-
vey of paper mills (Reference 89), which represent more than 90 percent of
disposable diaper production. The data are complete except for values of
air pollutants, which were not available for all mills. The values given in
table are based on the percent of total production given in parentheses.

However, these values for air pollution were proportionately increased so

B. Ethylene Manufacturing
1. Production of Crude Oil and Natural Gas; A production well
is classified as a gas or oil well, based on the ratio of oil production
to gas production. The definition of an oil well will typically cover those
wells which produce at least one barrel of oil to each 100,000 cubic feet
of natural gas. The gas well would be defined as a well having a lower crude
to gas ratio.
Figure C-3 shows a flow diagram for f.he production of oil and
natural gas.
Field processing is required to separate the oil, gas, and water.
The natural gas generally follows three routes: (1) the gas can be flared;
(2) some gas is returned to the underground formation to assist in future
production; and (3) the gas is transferred to a natural gas processing plant.
The crude oil is treated in water separators, and oil-gas separa-
tors. The resulting crude is pumped to storage tanks and eventually to a
refinery.
With respect to drilling for oil and gas, information is limited
concerning the ways in which drilling fluids, drilling muds, well cuttings,
and well treatment chemicals may contribute to pollution. Studies have been
made of well blowout and mixing of fresh water aquifers and oil bearing
sands. Several publications are available discussing oil field brine dis-
posal by subsurface injection.
Materials added to the crude oil to assist in extraction represent
less than 2 percent of the oil produced.
Acids represent the major chemicals used in oil and gas well treat-
ment. The amount consumed yearly is shown in Table C-18 (Reference 35).

Approximately 30 x 10 pounds of inhibitors and 37 x 10 pounds -
of additives are also used per year in well treatment. The total domestic
crude production in 1972 was 3,234,600,000 barrels, resulting in a use of
9.3 x ID'4 pounds of inhibitors and 11.4 x 10~4 pounds of additives per
barrel of oil. Since these products are injected into the subsurface reser-
voir, the amount of pollution to fresh water aquifers is probably very small
(Reference 111). The drilling muds used prior to production are usually ex-
pensive and, therefore, merit special handling to prevent excessive losses.
However, most spent muds are left in open slush pits to permit evaporation
of liquids. Most pits are earth filled when evaporation is complete. Some
remain in limited service to contain the effluents from well servicing.
Several sources of pollution resulting from oil field operations
are:
a. Well blowout - resulting in surface and subsurface contamina-
tion.
b. Dumping of oil-based drilling muds, oil soaked cuttings and
treatment chemicals.
c. Crude oil escape from pipeline leaks, overflow of storage ves-
sels and rupture of storage and transport vessels.
d. Discharge of bottom sediment from storage vessels.
e. Subsurface disposal of brine into a formation which would per-
mit migration of the brine into an area which could result in pollution, of
fresh water or contribute toward other natural disasters.
f. Escape of natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide could pollute
fresh water supplies and local atmosphere.
Crude losses from production are estimated to be 0.13 percent
based on information in the 1971 Minerals Yearbook* This loss has been ac-
counted for by allocation to the energy of material resource and to environ-
mental pollutants. The energy content of the crude oil was 19,500 Btu per
pound. This assumes an average API gravity of 35 which is equivalent to a
weight of 297 pounds per barrel of crude oil (Reference 50). Therefore, the
total energy of material resource assigned to the production of 1,000 pounds
of crude oil is 19,525,350 Btu (19,500,000 Btu + 25,350 Btu for crude losses
in production). The process energy requirements were taken from the 1972
Census of Mineral Industries.
C-29
-------
Natural gas losses were derived from 1971 and 1972 census data.
losses are estimated to be 3.81 percent as follows: (1) 0.36 percent
from vents; (2) 0.36 percent from flares; (3) 1.69 percent in lease opera-
tions; and (4) 1.4 percent in transmission to the consumer. In the produc-
tion of 1,000 pounds of natural gas, this loss has been charged as 853,109
Btu (38.1 pounds x 0.046 cubic feet x 1,030 Btu per cubic feet) of material
resource energy, producing 25.88 pounds of atmospheric emissions (crude pro-
duction was charged with 8.62 pounds of atmospheric emissions since about
25 percent of the natural gas produced comes from oil wells). The 0.36 per-
cent burned in flares was not included in the atmospheric emissions. The
total energy of materials resource assigned to natural gas production is
23,244,109 Btu (22,391,000 Btu for 1,000 pounds of natural gas + 853,109
Btu for the 38.1 pounds of natural gas lost in production).
The principal waterborne wastes in oil and gas production are
dissolved solids and oils. Approximately 2.5 barrels of brine are produced
for each barrel of crude extracted. The brine contains about 32 pounds of
dissolved solids (mostly chlorides) per barrel, and 0.59 pounds of oils
per barrel. Industry sources have estimated that approximately 10 percent
of the brine enters streams, rivers, etc., while 90 percent is disposed
of by methods which do not pollute water resources. Brine disposal methods
include evaporation ponds, subsurface injection, and brine water treatment
systems.
The 0.25 barrels of brine (containing 8 pounds of dissolved solids
and 0.147 pound of oils) which enter waterways include 6.0 pounds of dis-
solved solids and 0.11 pounds of oils charged to the production of 1,000
pounds of crude oil (3.367 barrels), and 2 pounds of dissolved solids and
0.037 pound of oil charged to the production of 1,000 pounds of natural
gas (75 percent allocated to crude oil production and 25 percent to natural
gas production).
Table C-19 contains the raw impact data for the production of
1,.000 pounds of crude oil. Table C-20 contains the primary (raw) data for
natural gas production. The energy content of these hydrocarbon products
appear in the table. Crude oil and natural gas inputs are counted as their
energy equivalents rather than pounds of raw materials. Table C-21 shows
the raw impact data for the production of 1,000 pounds of distilled and
hydrotreated crude. '
2. Natural Gas Liquids Processing! Light straight chain hydro-
carbons are normal products of a gas processing plant. Compression, re-
frigeration and oil absorption are used to extract these products. Heavy
hydrocarbons are removed first. The remaining components are extracted
and kept under controlled conditions until transported in high pressure
pipelines, insulated railcars, ships and barges. The primary nonsalable
sidues from the natural gas stream are volatile hydrocarbons leaking into
atmosphere. Figure C-4 shows a diagram of a natural gas processing plant,

This represents 742 cubic feet per 1,000 pounds of natural gas
processed or 753 cubic feet per 1,000 pounds of natural gas liquids (al-
lowing for 1.5 percent loss and by-product credit for the residue gas).
The 1971 Minerals Yearbook shows a loss of 0.36 percent (0.15 in flaring
or venting + 0.21 percent unaccounted for) in NGL production* Industry
sources report that losses in gas processing plants range between 1 and
2 percent. For this report, the total losses (processing, storage, and
transportation) are estimated to be 1.5 percent.
With reference to atmospheric emissions, the sulfur oxides emitted
from natural gas processing plants in 1971 were 1,036,000 metric tons or
2.62 pounds per 1,000 pounds of NGL produced (with by-product credit). Hydro-
carbon emissions are estimated to be 10.0 pounds per 1,000 pounds of NGL.

3. Pollution Factors-Petroleum Refining; The solid waste result-
ing from petroleum refining (Table C-23) was assumed to consist of the
solids resulting from air and water pollution-control techniques. According
to Reference 30, the total residues from air and water pollution control
in 1975 is estimated to be 990 million kilograms (2.182 x 1012 pounds).
The United States petroleum refining capacity in 1975 was approximately 15
million barrels per calendar day, or 1.64 x 1012 pounds for the year 1975.
The quantity of solid wastes per 1,000 pounds of refinery products is cal-
culated to be 1.38 pounds (with 4 percent loss of throughput).

The atmospheric emissions present after pollution control treat-
ment are shown in Table C-23. The process emissions from petroleum refining
were assumed to result from three sources.

The sources and emissions breakdown are shown below:

2 - Storage Tanks
3 - Miscellaneous -- — --

These emissions do not include fuel combustion pollutants. Process
fuel emissions are secondary impacts and are added to the impact categories
during the computer calculations.
The waterborne waste values for petroleum refining were obtained
from Reference 1. The size factor used in the calculations was 1.04 (100
to 149.9 thousand barrels of feedstock per stream day). The process factor
used was 1.27 (process configuration of 6.75 to 8.74). A value of 300 pounds
per barrel was used for the weight of the incoming crude oil.
Table C-23. presents the solid wastes, atmospheric emissions and
waterborne waste for refining 1,000 pounds of products in a petrochemical
refinery. These values will be combined with the resource requirements
(virgin raw materials, energy, and water) for the various petrochemical
products in order to obtain the total resource and environmental impacts
associated with various petrochemicals.
4. Ethylene Manufacture and Profile Analysis; The primary proces-
ses used for manufacturing ethylene are ethane/propane pyrolysis, naphtha
cracking, and gas oil cracking. Presently, the pyrolysis of light gases ac-
counts for 75 percent of the ethylene produced.
Figure C-5 shows a flow diagram for the manufacture of ethylene.
The hydrocarbon feedstock enters the cracking unit where decomposition occurs
under the influence of heat and pressure. In the transition reaction that
follows, ethylene and by-products are formed. When ethane is the principal
feedstock, the final product distribution shows 80 percent ethylene and 20
percent by-products. For propane and naphtha feeds, ethylene represents 44
percent and 34 percent of the total reaction products (Hydrocarbon Proces-
sing, February 1974). Therefore, with the present feedstock mix (75 percent
ethane/propane, 25 percent heavier feeds), ethylene represents about 60 per-
cent of the total reaction products (assuming the light gas feed represents
62 percent ethane and 38 percent propane).
After cracking the feedstock, the products are sent through heat
exchangers for the recovery of furnace heat. The Btu recovery for ethane,
propane, and naphtha feeds can approximate 2,100, 3,300 and 4,000 Btu, re-
spectively, per pound of ethylene produced. After heat exchange, the reaction
products are purified and fractionated into methane, ethylene, propylene, etc.

-------
The energy requirements for ethylene manufacture will depend upon
the type of fuel used and the amount of heat recovery experienced. Based
on Reference 21, the total process energy for manufacturing ethylene and
coproducts in 1973 was 382.3 x 109 Btu. With an ethylene production in 1973
of 23 x 10' pounds, and assuming 60 percent of the total energy for ethylene
and coproducts manufacture was used in the ethylene manufacture, the energy
used to manufacture 1 pound of ethylene is 9.973 Btu (as an ethylene manu-
facturing process). This agrees closely with the value stated in the article
for ethylene manufacture corrected for by-products. Based on Reference 20,
the energy requirement for manufacturing ehtylene from naphtha is about
8,700 Btu per pound. Reference 24 indicates that ehtylene can be manufactured
from ethane with an energy requirement of approximately 3,000 Btu per pound.
Confidential sources report that energy values of 5,000 to 7,500 Btu per
pound of ethylene are representative of many ethylene plants. Reference 34
gives an excellent account of ethylene manufacture. This report shows that
the fuel requirements for ethylene manufacture vary from 7,410 (from ethane)
to 11,400 Btu per pound (from gas oil). For this report, the manufacture of
ethylene has been charged with the following energy sources per 1,000 pounds
of ethylene in 1975: Electric = 100 kilowatt-hours and natural.gas = 6,800
cubic feet. These values represent 11,200 Btu per pound of ethylene manu-
factured from naphtha and 7,200 Btu per pound for ethylene manufactured from
ethane or propane, resulting in a national average of 8,200 Btu per pound of
ethylene (75.percent ethane/propane pyrolysis and 25 percent naphtha cracking)
The raw impacts for producing 1,000 pounds of ethylene are shown
in Table C-24. The hydrocarbon feed requirements in the production process
are approximately 1,071 pounds of feed per 1,000 pounds of ethylene.1
The primary use of water in the cracking process is for dilution
steam requirements and for quench waters required in the cooling and primary
separation of the cracked gases. The major wastewater sources are the quench
tower effluents and acid gas scrubber effluents. A common practice is to send
the wastewater through a steam condensate stripper to remove hydrocarbons.
The effluent water from the stripper can be reused. Wastewater volume is
355 gallons per 1,000 pounds of ethylene. The EPA 1977 effluent limitations
are 0.058 pound BOD and 0.088 pound TSS per 1,000 pounds of ethylene. Atmo-
spheric emissions are reported to be 0.79 pound per 1,000 pounds of product.
The energy requirement for pollution control is 5.23 kilowatt-
hours per 1,000 pounds of ethylene, or about 0.7 percent of the total energy
requirements.

C, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Resin Manufacture2
LDPE manufacture generally requires high pressures (1,500 atmo-
spheres) and temperatures around 380°F. Catalysts (oxygen, organic peroxides,
metal oxides, etc*) and ethylene are introduced into a reactor for polymeri-
zation. After reacting, the monomer and polymer are separated, with the un-
converted ehtylene being recycled. The polymer is extruded, chilled and
chopped into a granular product. Some catalysts can be used to produce the
full range of densities between 0.925 and 0.965 gram per cubic centimeter.
The raw data used to calculate the environmental impacts of LDPE
manufacture are shown in Table C-25. The values were taken from the actual
operating data of two plants producing LDPE.

D. Low Density Polyethylene Film Manufacture
A common method for fabrication of polyethylene film is an extru-
sion system using either a tubular air blow or water bath process. Typical
rates for an air blown process are 125 pounds of plastic per hour* The water
bath process has been demonstrated to produce in excess of 600 pounds per
hour. For this report, a process was simulated, using 245 kilowatt-hour per
1,000 pounds of film produced. Processes are described in the literature
using from 180 to 350 kilowatt-hour per 1,000 pounds of products. Water
usage is estimated to be around 1,780 gallons per 1,000 pounds of LDPE
film. Waste plastic scrap is estimated to be 5 pounds per 1,000 pounds of
product.
Environmental impacts for 1,000 pounds of LDPE film are shown in
Table C-26.

1. Ammonia; Ammonia is produced primarily by steam reforming natural
gas. Natural gas is fed with steam into a tubular furnace where the reaction
over a nickel reforming catalyst produces hydrogen and carbon oxides. The
primary reformer products are then mixed with preheated air and reacted in a
secondary reformer to produce the nitrogen needed in ammonia synthesis. The
gas is then cooled to a lower temperature and subjected to the water shift
reaction in which carbon monoxide and steam are reacted to form carbon dioxide
and hydrogen. The carbon dioxide is removed from the shifted gas in an absorb-
ent solution. Hydrogen and nitrogen are reacted in a synthesis converter to
form ammonia.
In the ammonia manufacturing process, 7 pounds of natural gas will
theoretically produce 17 pounds of ammonia and 19 pounds of carbon dioxide.
The actual natural gas usage as process feed is 318 pounds per 1,000 pounds
of products from an ammonia (products being defined as 45 percent ammonia
and 55 percent carbon dioxide). The process data for ammonia manufacture are
presented in Table C-27.
2, Acrylonitrile Manufacture: The most widely used process for
the manufacture of acrylonitrile involves the reaction of propylene, ammonia
and air in a fluidized bed reactor. The basic chemical equation for the
process is:
2CH = CH-CH + 2NH + 30 »2CH =CH-CN + 6H.O
^ J J fc. fm t*
C-41
-------
The reaction is exothermic with recovered heat being used to generate steam
for use in the process. The effluent from the reactor is first sent to a
water quench tower where the excess ammonia is neutralized by sulfuric acid.
After rejection on inert gases, the mixture is fractionated to remove HCN,
and then acetonitrile is removed by extractive distillation. The acryloni-
trile product is dried and then distilled to produce a product which is
99 percent pure.

The REP A process data are shown in Table C-28. The atmospheric
emission values are significant but represent typical emission in 1975 for
plants without incineration. The emission per 1,000 pounds of acrylonitrile
from new plants will be 0.5 pound of hydrocarbons and 9.8 pounds of NOX.
The waterborne waste values represent Bert Practicable Control Technology
currently available as defined by EPA. The solid wastes associated with
the process is reported to vary from 0.3 to 8.0 pounds per 1,000 pounds

3. Acrylic Resin; Acrylic resins are generally copolymers of acry-
lonitrile. Acrylics contain more than 85 percent acrylonitrile. The comonomers
are added to improve dyeability and dissolving characteristics in commercial
solvents. Common names for acrylic fibers are Creslan, Acrilan, Zefran, Orlong,
Verel and Dynel.
Acrylonitrile is appreciably soluble in water and is usually poly-
merized in aqueous solution, using water-soluble, free-radial initiators.
The utility requirements are estimates based on the requirements for the
production of an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin.
Table C-29 presents the manufacturing data for production of 1,000
pounds of an acrylic resin. The polymer was assumed to be 100 percent acry-
lonitrile.

F. Rayon Manufacturing
1. Carbon Disulfide Manufacture: Most of the carbon disulfide manu-
factured in the world, and all that is manufactured in the U.S., is produced
by reacting methane or natural gas with vaporized sulfur at elevated tempera-
ture (1200*F to 1300°F).
Molten sulfur is vaporized in a furnace and mixed with methane
(natural gas). The gases are transferred to a reactor containing activated
alumina or clay catalyst where carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide are
formed.
The reacted gases are transferred to a scrubber where unreacted
sulfur is removed and recycled. The carbon disulfide gas is then dissolved
in mineral oil in an absorption column while the hydrogen sulfide is sep-
arated and sent to a sulfur recovery unit.
C-44
-------
The carbon disulfide is purified (up to 994- percent) by a series
of distillations and stored under water to prevent fire.
The environmental impacts generated by carbon disulfide manufacture
are not great and do not contribute greatly to the Rayon system. The most
important impact associated with CS2 manufacture is the energy consumption.
Data for manufacture of 1,000 pounds of carbon disulfide are con-
tained in Table C-30.

2. Rayon Manufacture; Rayon is manufactured from woodpulp or cotton
linters raw materials. The fibers are first steeped in a solution of caustic
soda form alkali cellulose. The sheets of cellulose are crumbled and mixed
with carbon disulfide to form the xantrate crumb. The resulting mixture is
dissolved in a dilute caustic solution to form a thick, honey-colored liquid
known as viscose. The viscose is extruded through.fine holes in a spinnoid
(into a sulfuric acid bath) to form rayon fibers. The fibers can now be spun
as continuous filament or cut into staple of desired length.
The raw impacts for rayon manufacture are shown in Table C-31.-
The process requires a relatively high quantity of energy when compared to
other manufacturing steps.

2. Methanol; Methanol can be manufactured from gaseous and liquid
hydrocarbons by a steam reforming route. The hydrocarbons are first desul-
furized and then mixed with steam and carbon dioxide and reformed at about
840°C in the presence of a catalyst. The reforming reaction converts the
hydrocarbons into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The resulting gaseous mixture
is adjusted to obtain a ratio of about two volumes of hydrogen to one volume
of carbon monoxide. The mixture is reacted under pressure (50 to 80 atmospheres)
at a temperature of 250 to 260°C in the presence of a catalyst to form methanol.
The reaction is exothermic, producing 24,620 calories per gram mole of methanol.
The reactor gases are cooled in a heat exchanger, resulting in the condensation
of methanol. The unreacted gases are either recycled to the compressor or used
as fuel.
The impacts from manufacturing 1,000 pounds of methanol are shown
in Table C-33.

The process is essentially one of liquifying the air and then collecting

which boils at 300 F below zero at normal atmospheric pressure. Most oxygen
plants are located close to their point of use r.c minimize transportation

4. Acetaldehyde; Acetaldehyde can be manufactured by the oxidation
of ethylene by palladium chloride in the presence of water.
C.H. + 1/2 00 catalyst CH_CHO
242 3
The reaction proceeds almost quantitatively and is very selective with re-
spect to product ouput. The catalyst solution is recycled after purifica-
tion and has a long life* In the process, ethylene and oxygen are fed to the
bottom of a reaction tower filled with the catalyst solution. The vaporized
reaction products are separated from the cata1"st solution by a demister.
Acetaldehyde is removed from unreacted gases by cooling and scrubbing with
water. The crude product is separated in an extractive distillation process*
The direct oxidation process produces a dilute waste stream ready for waste-
water treatment. In 1970, the ethylene oxidation process accounted for 56
percent of the U.S. acetaldehyde capacity.
Table C-35 presents the impacts for acetaldehyde manufacture. The
process additions consist of catalyst and hydrochloric acid. The process
solid waste value is an estimate based on the amount of sewage sludges formed
during waste wastewater treatment.

7. Terephthalic Acid; Terephthalic acid (TPA) is manufactured
primarily by oxidation of p-sylene in the liquid phase*
2 C6H4+ 3°2 »C6H4(COOH)2 + 2H2°
The oxidation is carried out in an acetic acid medium in the presence of
manganese and cobalt bromides. Typical reaction conditions are 200°C and
400 psi. The reactor effluents are continuously removed from the reactor
and routed to a crystallizer, where they are cooled by flashing the reac-
tant liquids. The acetic acid used in the reaction is recovered by distil-
lation and then recycled. TPA of greater than 99 percent can be recovered
in the process.
The REPA data for the process are shown in Table C-38. Process
solid wastes were estimated from raw waste loads to the wastewater treat-
ment plant. The stoichemetry of the reaction indicates that 3.4 percent of
the incoming p-xylene is unreacted during the process and is either recycled
or emitted as waste. By-product credit was not given for the acetic acid
which can be produced at 0.55 to 1.1 pounds per pound of TPA. The source
data for the utilities required in the TPA process did not include the puri-
fication requirements to refine the acetic acid.
8. Dimethyl Terephthalate (DMT); DMT is produced by esterfication
of TPA. TPA and methanol are fed to a reactor at moderate pressure and tem-
perature. The reaction is;
C6H4(COOH)2 + 2CH3OH *. CgH^COOCH^ + 2^0
The ester is formed by replacing the hydrogen of the carboxyl group with
the methyl group of the alcohol. The crude DMT is purified in a distilla-
tion and recycled back to the reactor.
Table C-39 presents the process data for manufacture of DMT. About
1.6 percent of the TPA and 3 percent of the methanol are lost in the process.
The solid waste value represents primarily sewage sludges estimated from the
DMT process raw waste load.
9. Poly (Ethylene Terephthalate) (PET) Resin Manufacture; PET resin
is manufactured from dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) or terephthalic acid (TPA)
by an esterification reaction with ethylene glycol. The reaction produces
by product methanol which can be reused in the manufacture of DMT. The poly-
ester melt can be cooled and granulated or fed directly to a fiber spinning
machine.

H. Conversion of Paper to Diaper
Rolls of paper are transported to converting sites for manufacture
into final products* In many cases the converting site is located quite close
to the papermaking site, but sometimes the rolls are transported for a long
distance. In any event, at the converting site, materials are assembled for
the converting operation.
C-55
-------
The converting process is a relatively simple operation where
the rolls of paper are unwound, with the product being cut to proper size,
decorated (if required), rewound on a core (if required) and packaged for
shipment. The impacts of converting to 100 diapers are shown in Table C-41,

The disposable bedding is made of paper tissue and LDPE film. The .
paper tissue manufacturing is identical to the tissue discussed in the diaper
section (Appendix C-III). Also, the steps for LDPE film are discussed in the
diaper section.
Information regarding the manufacturing step for the disposable
sheets was not submitted by industry for this study. Therefore, we have used

-------
Processes 1 through 9 are discussed in Appendix C-I (Paper Towel
Step 10 and 11 are covered in Appendix C-III (Diapers). Discussions of the
remaining processes will follow.
a. Bleached Kraft Paperboard for Cups and Plate Stock: Paper
cups and plates are manufactured primarily from bleached kraft paperboard.
A discussion of the kraft process can be found in Section B and C, to which
the reader is referred. Figure C-6 illustrates the materials flow for this
process as applied to cup and plate manufacture, while Tables C-43, C-44,
and C-45 show the data used to calculate the impact profiles for paperboard
manufacture*
Paperboard used in the manufacture of plastic coated paper
hot drink cups is shipped to the converting plant as a plastic coated paper-
board. In order to estimate the effects of the coating, impacts for manu-
facture of 51 pounds of low density polyethylene resin were added per 1,000
pounds of paperboard required (Reference 95).
Impacts of manufacture of the chemicals shown in Figure C-6
are discussed elsewhere in this report.
b. Dewaxing Heavy Oils; Distillate or residual oils are used
as a stock material for dewaxing systems. The stock material is diluted,
chilled and filtered. The resulting products are dewaxed oils and a waxy
solution.
The raw impacts involved with 1,000 pounds of dewaxed oils
are shown in Table C-46.

d. Conversion of Paperboard to Wax Coated Paper Cups: The
process of conversion of paperboard consists essentially of unwinding rolls
of paperboard, decorating, coating with wax (where required), forming mech-
anically into the proper shape and packaging for shipment. The primary im-
pacts result from energy use.
These data were based on a survey of cup and plate manufac-
turers by the Single Service Institute (SSI). The survey sample included
manufacturers of more than 50 percent of paper cups and paper plates manu-
factured in the U.S. (Reference 95). Environmental impact data are found
in Table C-48.
2, Thermoformed Polystyrene Cup: The processes necessary for manu-
facturing thermoformed polystyrene cups are: (1) ethylene manufacturing (dis-
cussed in Appendix C-III, Diapers); (2) reforming; (3) benzene extraction; (4)
toluene dealkylation; (5) styrene manufacturing; and (6) cup manufacturing.
a. Reforming, Benzene Extraction, and Toluene Dealkylation:
Reforming processes are used in converting parafinic hydrocarbon streams
into aromatic compounds such as benzene and toluene. The environmental im-
pacts associated with this procedure are shown in Table C-49.

b. Styrene Manufacture; Figure C-7 shows a flow diagram for
the manufacture of styrene. Dry benzene enters the alkylation reactor where
ethylene and benzene react in the presence of an aluminum chloride catalyst
to form ethylbenzene. Fractionation towers separate ethylbenzene from other
reaction products and unreacted feed components. The purified ethylbenzene
is then catalytically denydrogenated to form styrene. Additional fractiona-
tion towers separate the high purity styrene from unconverted ethylbenzene
and reaction by-products. Ethylbenzene is recycled to the dehydrogenation
reactor and benzene to the alkylation reactor. Toluene (52 pounds per 1,000
pounds of styrene) and aluminum chloride (2 pounds per 1,000 pounds of sty-
rene) are produced as by-products. The aluminum chloride is used for water
treatment applications.
The raw impacts for producing 1,000 pounds of styrene are
presented in Table C-53. Chemicals for pollution control have been included
in process additions and the ethylene and benzene raw materials requirements
have been adjusted for a 6.1 percent by-product credit. Electricity use
of 43.8 kilowatt-hours includes 15.5 kilowatt-hours for pollution control.
The vent gases are treated for recovery of aromatics and removal of hydro-
chloric acid. Process condensate from the dehydrogenation step is stripped
to remove dissolved aromatics and then is used as boiler feed water.
c. Cup Manufacturer The 9 fluid ounce polystyrene cup is
manufactured by thermoforming a plastic sheet. Basically, the process con-
sists of heating the polystyrene sheet to a formable plastic state and then
applying air and/or mechanical assists to shape it to the contours of a
mold.
The raw impacts for manufacturing the cup are shown in Table
C-54.
B. Hot Drink
1. LDPE Coated Paper Cupst The paper manufacturing steps are iden-
tical to those discussed in Appendix C-I (Paper Towels) with the exception
of the paperboard manufacturing which was covered in the paper cold drink
section. The LDPE manufacturing processes are covered in Appendix C-III
(Diapers).
A discussion of the manufacture of LDPE lined cups follows.
Conversion of Paperboard to Cups and Plates; The process of con-
version of paperboard consists essentially of unwinding rolls of paperboard,
decorating, coating with wax (where required), forming mechanically into the
proper shape and packaging for shipment. The primary impacts result from

2. Foam Polystyrene Cups: The manufacturing processes for the 7
fluid ounce foam polystyrene cup are the same as those for the 9 fluid
ounce thermoformed polystyrene cup with the addition of: (1) polystyrene
resin manufacturing; (2) isopentane manufacturing; and (3) cup manufactur-
ing.
A discussion of these three processes follows.
a. Polystyrene Resin Manufacturer Styrene is normally poly-
merized by either suspension or bulk methods. Suspension polymerization re-
fers to an aqueous system with the monomer as a dispersed phase, resulting
in polymer as a dispersed solid phase. The dispersion is maintained by a
combination of agitation and the use of water soluble stabilizers. In bulk
polymerization, inhibitor-free styrene is prepolymerized in a stirred vessel
C-69
-------
until the reaction mixture is approximately 30 percent polymer. The solution
is then transferred to a second reactor where the temperature is controlled
during final polymerization. The pure molten polymer is discharged through
spinnerets or into an extruder, producing small diameter rods which are
chopped into polystyrene pellets. Figure C-8 shows flow diagrams for both
suspension and bulk polymerization.
Table C-56 contains the raw impact data for manufacturing
polystyrene resin. The process additives include solvents, plasticizers,
etc. The energy category includes 3.67 kilowatt-hours for pollution control.
Wastewater volume and pollutants are 1977 EPA guideline values. Atmospheric
emissions represent the current estimate for the national average emissions
from polystyrene manufacturing plants.

b. Isopentane Production (Blowing Agents); The hydrocarbon
blowing agents (isopentane, pentane, etc.) were assumed to be produced in
a natural gas liquids plant. In 1971, the total quantity of isopentane pro-
duced in NGL plants was approximately 5.6 million barrels (0.9 percent of
production). This can be compared with an ethane production of 80.5 million
barrels. The raw impacts for the production of 1,000 pounds of isopentane
are presented in Table C-57 and are identical to the impacts assigned to
NGL production.

chlorine manufacturing; (5) caustic manufacturing; (6) limestone mining;
(7) lime manufacturing; (8) sulfur mining; (9) sulfuric acid; and (10) plate
manufacturing.
Processes 1 through 9 are covered in Appendix C-I (Paper Towels).
A discussion of process 10 follows.
1. Conversion of Paperboard to Cups and Plates: The process of
conversion of paperboard consists essentially of unwinding rolls of paper-
board, decorating, coating with wax (where required), forming mechanically
into the proper shape and packaging for shipment. The primary impacts re-
sult from energy use. For plates, this is electricity used to mold and trans-
port the product inside the plant.

The amount of pesticides that is used in cotton is large. Cotton
receives approximately 50 percent of all insecticides used annually in the
U.S. To control insects, farmers must dust or spray the growing cotton many
times a season; the number and concentration is dependent upon the weather
conditions and degree of infestation. The pollution resulting from pesticide
use is extremely hard to measure due to the different methods of application,
types of chemicals used, and geographical nature of the farmland.
Fertilizer use also varies with the type of cotton grown, condi-
tions of the soil, and region of the country, etc. Although data on the
pollution attributable to fertilizer use are more readily available than
that associated with pesticide use,., the amount of pollution depends upon
a wide number of variables, making an extremely accurate estimate of the
impacts difficult.
The frequent application of pesticides, fertilizers, and other
activities necessary in cultivating cotton, require a relatively large
amount of fuel for the machinery involved. This not only adds to the air
pollution of cotton growing, but also increases the energy requirement.
Table D-l lists the major impacts attributable to the growing of 1,000
pounds of finished cotton.

2. NP Fertilizer Manufacturing; NP fertilizers are manufactured
from phosphate rock, nitric acid, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. The phosphate
rock reacts with nitric acid resulting in calcium nitrate and phosphoric
acid; the calcium nitrate is removed and ammonia and carbon dioxide are
added to control the ratio of N:P.O .
The environmental impacts for 1,000 pounds of NP fertilizer pro-
duction are shown in Table D-2.
a. Phosphate Rock Mining; Phosphate rock is obtained chiefly
from deposits in Florida, Tennessee, and the western states. The deposits
are generally classified as residual, replacement and sedimentary. Residual
phosphate is derived from phosphatic limestone. Replacement phosphate is
phosphatized limestone formed by the reaction of phosphoric acid of organic
origin and limestone. Sedimentary phosphates, believed to be derived from
marine organisms, occur in irregular pockets of many sizes embedded in clay
or sand.

The Florida and Tennessee phosphates are usually formed in
surface deposits and are worked by open-cut mining methods. Western phos-
phates are mined by underground methods*
Most commercial deposits of phosphate rock are amorphous,
impure varieties of the mineral fluorapatite, CaigtPOJxF,. The deposits
contain 18 to 90 percent available tricalcium phosphate, 033(PO,)., known
as BPL (bone phosphate of lime). About three-fourths of the phosphate rock
marketed contains between 70 and 76 percent BPL.
The general practice in open-pit methods is to strip the
overburden with electric pottered draglines and then remove the phosphate
rock. The rock is placed in a sluice pit where hydraulic monitors break
up the rock with 200 psi pressure. The slurry (40 percent solids) is pumped
through movable steel pipelines to the benefication plant.
D-3
-------
At the benefication plant, the first step is to separate
the coarse phosphate rock from clay, sand, and fine phosphate. The coarse
phosphate is removed and stocked as a marketable product* The fine mate-
rial is delimed to remove clays and sent to a flotation process to remove
fine phosphate. The sand tails and slimes, which contain 4 to 6 percent
solids, are pumped to slime ponds for settling. The slimes account for
about one-third of the total tonnage mined, and present a disposal problem.
The solids can be concentrated by settling, thickening with slow stirring,
freezing, and electrophoresis methods. The economics of rapid concentra-
tion are excessive at the present time.
The chief impurities in domestic phosphate rock are iron,
aluminum, and silicon oxides. Most of the impurities are removed during
the washing and sintering operations prior to phosphoric acid manufacture.
Elements that might be recovered as by-products from phos-
phate rock processing are fluorine, vanadium, uranium, scandium, and the
rare earths. Phosphorites contain about 3 percent fluorine. The fluorine,
released in part as a gas in the chemical processing, is a potential air
pollutant.
The total marketed production of phosphate rock products
in the United States was 38,739,000 long tons in 1970. The total amount
of mineral which must be mined to market this amount is about 454,408,470
long tons.
Table D-3 presents the raw data for mining 1,000 pounds
of phosphate rock.
b. Nitric Acid Production; The necessary raw materials for
the modern production of nitric acid are ammonia, air, water and platinum-
rhodium (a catalyst). The series of reactions are:
4NH 4- 5D2 > HNO +
2NO + 0
3NO + HO >2HNO + NO
The environmental impacts of manufacturing 1,000 pounds
of nitric acid are shown in Table D-4.

c. Carbon Dioxide Manufacture; More than 60 percent of the
carbon dioxide manufactured in the United States is produced by steam re-
forming of natural gas and is actually a by-product from ammonia manufac-
ture* The gas is desulfurized, preheated, and reacted in a tubular furnace.
The hydrocarbon gases are converted to hydrogen and carbon oxides. The
primary reformer gas is reacted with air to produce a synthesis ga.s having
a hydrogen to nitrogen rating of about 3.0. The exit gas from the secondary
reformer is reduced in temperature (generating steam through the use of
heat exchanges) and reacted with.steam to produce more hydrogen and also
carbon dioxide. The mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen is compressed in a
synthesis loop to produce ammonia.
The carbon dioxide produced in the carbon monoxide shift
reaction is removed by absorption with activated carbonate solution or
other absorbent.
The theoretical reaction for ammonia production from methane
shows that 7 pounds of methane (when reacted with steam and air) will pro-
duce approximately 17 pounds of ammonia and 19 gpunds of carbon dioxide.
Therefore, carbon dioxide represents 55 percent of the ammonia plant pro-
duction of useful products. The environmental pollutants are assumed to
be identical to these associated with ammonia plants.
The environmental impacts are shown in Table D-5.

3» Cotton Ginning; The primary job of a cotton gin is to take
raw seed cotton and separate the seed from the fibers* The amount of trash
(hulls, leaves, dirt, etc.) removed from the raw cotton to produce one 500-
pound bale of cotton fiber has increased from about 80 to 1,500 pounds due
to the increased use of mechanical harvesters.
The basic machinery components for a cotton gin processing mechan-
ically harvested cotton in the order of use are:
a. Suction unloading telescope.
b. Green boll trap.
c. Air line cleaner.
d. Bulk feed control unit.
e. Dryer, 3 million Btu, moisture sensitive control.
f. Inclined cleaner.
g. Burr machine.
h. Green leaf and stick machine.
i. Dryer, 3 million Btu.
j. Inclined cleaner.
k. Extractor feeders.
D-7
-------
1. Gin stands*
m. Tandem saw-type cleaning.
n. Press*
The current disposal practice for gin wastes is to incinerate
37 percent, return 58 percent to land, and 5 percent is unaccounted for. The
trash is used on land for its fertilizer and humus value. The waste trash
will consist of about 36 percent hulls, 54 percent leaf trash and dirt,
and 10 percent sticks and stems. The seeds are reclaimed for us-J as fuel
or processing for valuable oils.
Table D-6 contains the raw data pertaining to the production
of 1,000 pounds of cotton from a cotton gin. Raw material inputs and water
pollution are assumed to be small and therefore were not researched.

In computing the impacts of growing and ginning cotton, credit
has been given for the cottonseed produced as a by-product of the cotton
lint. For every pound of cotton lint harvested, 1.65 pounds of cottonseed
is also harvested.
The total fertilizer, pesticide, fuel and waste quantities have
been allocated between cotton lint and cottonseed on the basis of weight.
For example, a total of 404.3 pounds of fertilizer, used to produce 1,000
pounds of cotton lint and 1,650 pounds of cottonseed, was multiplied by
D-8
-------
a factor of 0.3773 (1.00/2.65) to obtain the amount of fertilizer which
should be applied to the impacts of cotton lint (152.5 pounds). The quanti-
ties in Tables D-l and D-6 reflect the amounts allocated to cotton lint
only.
4. Cotton Cloth Manufacture; The conversion of raw cotton fiber
into the finished cloth involves a series of steps that can be classified
as either "dry" or "wet." The "dry" processes are involved with convert-
ing the raw cotton into cloth (spinning, weaving, etc.), while the "wet"
processes include chemical treatments such as bleaching, scouring, desiz-
ing, and mercerizing.
The dry processes contribute impacts to the cloth system through
the use of electrical energy that is required to operate the various weav-
ing and spinning machines. Approximately 2,706 kilowatt hours of electricity
are required to perform the dry processing of 1,000 pounds of finished
cloth. Also, there is a significant amount of natural gas (5,708 square
cubic feet) and coal (343 pounds) consumed per 1,000 pounds of cotton pro-
cessed.
The major impact of the wet processing steps is on the water
quality. The wastes characteristically have a high BOO, COD, phenols, sul-
fides, chromium, and inorganic salts. See Table D-7 for raw impact data.
MRI has determined that 132 pounds of cotton cloth are used to
manufacture 1,000 cloth towels (16 x 27 inches at 81 grams).2
B. Sponges
The required processes for producing sponges are: (1) natural
gas production; (2) natural gas processing; (3) sulfur mining; (4) carbon
disulfide; (5) wood harvest; (6) bleached kraft pulp paper manufacturing;
(7) sodium sulfate production; (8) salt mining; (9) caustic manufacturing;
and (10) sponge manufacturing.
Processes 1, 2, and 4 are discussed in Appendix C-I (Disposable
Diapers); processes 3, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are discussed in Appendix C-I (Paper
Towels). A discussion of processes 7 and 10 follows.
1. Sodium Sulfate Manufacture: Sodium sulfate (Na2SO,) can be
produced by several processes. It is a by-product of hydrochloric acid,
rayon, phenol, dichrornate and other manufacturing procedures. Glauber's
salt (Na«SO, . lOH.g) and natural brines are other important sources for
the compound.
In this report we have used natural brines as the raw material
for sodium sulfate production. The Ozark-Mahoning plant, located close
to Monahans, Texas, was used as the source of raw production data.

-------
The brine is removed from wells varying from 60 to 90 feet in
depth. It is transferred to a holding lake and then through a halite (NaCl
mineral) formation before entering the plant. The sulphate brine is satur-
ated with sodium chloride to reduce the solubility of the sodium sulfate
when the brine is chilled. The production steps are settling, chilling,
thickening, filtering, submerged combustion evaporation, and drying in
a rotary kiln (Figure D-l).
The Glauber's salt precipitates during the chilling stage. The
remaining solids are discharged with the spent liquor. About 1.5 pounds
of sodium chloride are required per pound of sodium sulfate produced. Most
of this is in the natural brine, with approximately one-third added during
the passage through the halite well. About 500 tons of refrigeration are
required for the chilling step, of which 200 are produced from waste heat.
The submerged combustion unit evaporates about 70 percent of
the total water load. Natural gas usage is 340 cubic feet per minute. A
200-horsepower compressor supplies air for the combustion. The final treat-
ment is drying in a gas fired rotary kiln. The energy requirements were
calculated from thennodynamic data.
Table D-8 contains the raw data for manufacture of 1,000 pounds
of sodium sulfate, 994- percent.
2. Sponge (Cellulose) Manufacture; The primary ingredients used
in manufacturing the cellulose sponge are wood pulp, sodium sulfate, sodium
hydroxide, and carbon disulfide. The wood pulp is used in the form of paper
sheeting.
In the sponge manufacturing process, the first step involves con-
verting the cellulose sheet into viscose. The cellulose is mixed in a solu-
tion of water, treated with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide until
the cellulose becomes the jelly-like substance called viscose. The second
step involves adding sodium sulfate crystals, vegetable or hemp reinforcing
fibers, and dyes to the viscose. Next, the mixture is poured in rectangular
block-shaped molds for cooking. After the cooking process (cellulose regenera-
tion), the sponge blocks are washed, processed, and cut into the desirable
size. The sponges are then packaged in plastic or cellophane wrapping and
shipped in corrugated containers.
The raw impact data for the manufacture of 1,000 pounds of sponges
is presented in Table D-9. The data are representative of the manufacturing
operations of a major supplier of cellulose sponges. The 1,000 pounds of
sponges represents approximately 16,925 sponges (6-3/16 x 3-11/16 x 1-1/8
inches per sponge).

II. Napkins
A. Cloth-Home 1>2
The processes needed for fabricating cloth napkins (50 percent
rayon, 50 percent polyester) for the home are: (1) ethylene manufacturing;
(2) PET resin manufacturing; (3) rayon manufacturing; and (4) napkin manu-
facturing*
Processes 1 through 3 are discussed in Appendix C-III (Dispos-
able Diapers). The impacts for cloth napkin manufacturing are shown in
Table D-10.
B. Cloth—Commercial
The prinicpal processes for the production of commercial cotton
napkins are: (1) cotton growing (fertilizer); (2) cotton ginning; (3) cotton
cloth napkin manufacturing; and (4) napkin working.
Process 1 through 3 are discussed in the cloth towel section
(Appendix D-I).
MRI determined that 100 pounds of cotton cloth would produce
1,000, 18 x 18 inch napkins. Therefore, only 10 percent of the impacts
discussed in the cloth manufacturing section of the cloth towel discussion
are applicable to the production of 1,000 napkins.
III. Diapers .
The major processes for the manufacture of cloth diapers are:
(1) cotton growing (fertilizer); (2) cotton ginning; and (3) diaper cloth
manufacturing.
Processes 1, 2, and 3 are covered in the discussion of cloth
towels (Appendix D-I).
MRI has determined that 13.67 pounds of cotton cloth are needed
to produce 100, 21 x 40 inch diapers. Therefore, only 1.367 percent of
the impacts discussed in the cloth manufacturing section of the cloth towel
discussion are applicable to the production of 100 diapers.

tumblers are: (1) limestone mining; (2) lime manufacturing; (3) soda ash
mining; (4) glass sand mining; (5) feldspar mining; and (6) tumbler manu-
facturing.
Processes 1 and 2 are discussed in Appendix C-I (Paper Towels).
A discussion of the remaining processes follows.
a. Natural Soda Ash Mining; Soda ash, which is the common
name for sodium carbonate, is used in glass manufacture as a fluxing agent.
Under the temperature conditions of a glass furnace, the carbonate is con-
verted to sodium oxide which lowers the melting and working temperature
and decreases the viscosity of the melt* Sodium oxide is the second most
abundant material in finished glass, constituting about 15 percent of the
finished glass weight.
Soda ash is obtainable in either its natural form or in
a manufactured form* The glass industry has utilized manufactured soda
ash in the United States for most of this century. However, in the late
1950's, large beds of natural soda ash (trona) were discovered in Wyoming.
It is also mined in California. Since the 1950fs, trona has achieved con-
siderable market penetration; until 1973, trona accounted for 38 percent
of the soda ash used by the glass industry.
Since 1973, a combination of market, energy, and environ-
mental pollution factors have acted together to force the closing of numer-
ous synthetic ash plants, thus increasing the penetration of trona in the
market* There is general agreement that in the near future, the manufacture
of synthetic soda ash will practically cease in this country, and the glass
industry will be using only trona as a source of soda ash. We estimate that
by 1977, all' of the soda ash used to manufacture glass will be trona.

Table D-12 shows that natural soda ash mining produces rela-
tively low environmental impacts compared to the other operations in glass
manufacture. However, the substantially greater use of energy as compared
to the other mined minerals leads to higher atmospheric emissions than
experienced by other mineral mining operations.

b. Glass Sand Miningt Glass sand is the predominant raw
material for glass manufacture. It comprises 53 percent by weight of the
raw materials used in the production of glass and is the source of almost
all of the silicon dioxide present in finished container glass. Silicon
dioxide is the major chemical constituent of glass and amounts to approxi-
mately 70 percent by weight of the finished container glass.
Glass sand is a high purity quartz sand which usually con-
tains less than 1 percent other minerals or foreign materials. These strin-
gent purity restrictions prevent the use of most of the sand available
in this country. However, sizable deposits of glass sand do exist in New
Jersey in the form of unconsolidated sand banks, and as sandstones found
in the Alleghenies and the Mississippi River Valley. In addition, there
are smaller deposits of glass sand located in various other sections of
the country.
The mining operations chosen depend on the nature of the
deposit at each location. The mining operations range from simply scoop-
ing sand from a pit or bank and loading it into a truck, to quarrying hard
sandstone in a fashion similar to the procedures used to extract limestone.
In the latter event, extensive crushing, washing and screening may be neces-
sary.

c. Feldspar Mining; Feldspar is an aluminum, silicate min-
eral which is used in glass manufacture to obtain aluminum oxide. This
oxide acts as a stabilizer and improves the stability and durability of
the glass microstructure. It is added in small quantitites and generally
makes up less than 3 percent of the total glass weight.
Feldspar is mined in 13 states but North Carolina and
California produce 65 percent of the nation's total. Hence, transportation
expenses to bring feldspar to glass plants may be quite high. Feldspar is
mined primarily by open pit quarry techniques. Usually drilling and blast-
ing are required although this is not always so.
The data pertaining to the raw impacts associated with feld-
spar mining are listed in Table D-14. The dominant impact is the consider-
able mining waste associated with feldspar mining. More solid waste is
associated with this operation per ton of material than any other operation
for glass manufacture. Also, there is a significant amount of air pollu-
tion which is primarily dust produced by mining and crude ore processing.

d. Glass Tumbler Manufacture; The glass tumbler manufactur-
ing process consists of three primary steps: (1) melting the raw materials;
(2) pressing or forming the product; and (3) annealing.
Around 8 to 9 million Btu are required to melt 1 ton of glass.
The reject rate of molten material is about 10 percent. The press plant has
a total connected power of around 300 horsepower per line, producing 15 to
20 tons per day. The furnace requires some electrical energy. Fuel oil is
used as a stand by energy source. The total energy requirement per ton of
glass tumblers is 10 to 12 million Btu. The manufacture of glass beverage
containers is less energy intensive, generally requiring 8 to 9 million
Btu per ton.
The impacts for manufacturing 1,000 pounds of glass tumblers.
are shown in Table D-15. Data for 1 million glass tumblers are presented
in Table D-16.

We have assumed that all the environmental impacts associated
with propylene manufacturing are identical to those associated with ethyl-
ene manufacturing (refer to Disposable Diapers, Appendix C-III)• A discus-
sion of processes 2 and 3 will follow*
a. Polypropylene Resin Manufacture; The propylene monomer
is fed into a polymerization reactor containing catalyst and alkyl alumi-
num activator suspended in a hydrocarbon solvent. The reaction occurs at
10 atmospheres pressure and 60°C. The polymer slurry is extracted with
alcohol to deactivate and remove catalyst residues. The solvent is recov-
ered for reuse. The polypropylene product is dewatered and then dried with
hot air. The polymer is obtained in the form of a powder which can be used
for molding purposes.
The process data for manufacturing polypropylene are shown
in Table D-17.

mold temperature would run 400°F to 475 F. A typical machine would use 650
to 750 tons of clamp force, requiring a motor with 110 horsepower.

1. Ceramics; The necessary processes for manufacturing ceramic
cups are: (1) clay miningj (2) plaster (gypsum mining); (3) silica (flint
and glaze) mining; (4) feldspar mining; (5) nepheline syenite mining; (6)
bauxite mining; (7) alumina manufacturing; and (8) cup manufacturing.
A brief description of the processes and their respective en-
vironmental impacts will be discussed.
a* Clay Mining; There are several types of clay; kaolin,
bentanite, fire clay, Fuller's earth, and ball clay. The primary clays
used in the production of china are kaolin and ball clays; the respective
percentages are 40 percent and 60 percent.
\J See comments Appendix J, pages 3, 19, 21.
D-25
-------
Kaolin clay is mined using conventional surface-mining tech-
niques and is processed via an air-floating or a water-washing procedure*
Air-floating involves primary crushing, drying, grinding, classifying,
bleaching, filtration, dewatering, drying and packaging (Reference 83).
The energy use breakdowns for these two processes are shown
in Table D-19.

Of the kaolin used in the U.S. in 1973, 29 percent was pro-
cessed using air-floating, with the remaining 71 percent processed by water-
washing (Reference 83). The combination of these valves and the energy
use figures in Table D-19 were used to help calculate the energy impacts
shown in Table D-20.
Also used in these calculations were the energies involved
in processing ball clay. We know that the average energy consumed per ton
of ball clay processed is 0.95 x 10 6 Btu (Reference 82). We assumed that
the processing and energy types consumed are the same as the air-floated
kaolin; further, the quantities of each type of energy is the same ratio.

Table D-19 also shows the amount of emissions associated
with the drying, grinding and storage of ceramic clay (Reference: Marshall
Sittig, 1975). It was assumed that 70 percent of the processing facili-
ties use cyclones only, 10 percent use cyclones and scrubbers and 20 per-
cent have no controls. The air emissions are primarily particulates.
To estimate the transportation involved in shipping the
processed kaolin the following information was used: (1) 89 percent of
the kaolin processed in 1973 came from Georgia and South Carolina (Refer-
ence 82); and (2) most of the china produced in the U.S. is made in the
Northern Atlantic states.
The significant impacts are the large amount of natural
gas consumed, the large quantity of particulate air emissions, and the
long transportation distance.
b. Gypsum (Plaster) Mining; Plaster is used to make the
molds for chinaware. Plaster is dehydrated gypsum. Of the gypsum used in
1973, 13.9 percent was mined from Michigan, 12.5 percent from Texas, 12.4
percent from California, 11.2 percent from Iowa, and 9.7 percent from
Oklahoma. The major states where gypsum is calcined are Texas (10.7 per-
cent), California (10.4 percent), New York (9.8 percent), Iowa (7.7 per-
cent) and Georgia (5.5 percent).
D-27
-------
The major processes involved in obtaining gypsum are: min-
ing, crushing, grinding, drying and calcining. Underground mining or quar-
rying techniques are generally used; then, the gypsum is ground and dried
into a fine powder. The calcining process removes approximately 75 per-
cent of the water of hydration.
The types and quantities of energy used to accomplish the
above process are shown in Table D-21. The major portions of all the energy
categories are used in the calcining step.

Also, Table D-21 shows the amount of emissions associated
with the drying, grinding, and calcining of the gypsum. It was assumed
that 70 percent of the processing facilities use fabric filters, 10 per-
cent use cyclones and electostatic precipitator, and 20 percent have no
controls. All of the air emissions are particulates.
The processing of gypsum is very energy intense; therefore,
all the energy impacts of natural gas are of significant quantity. Also,
the particulate air emissions and impacts associated with transportation
are important considerations*
D-28
-------
c» Silica Miningt Silica is a quartz (SiO . It is known
that flint is merely a hard quartz and that glaze is made primarily of
silica* Therefore, we are using the impacts associated with silica for the
processing of flint and glaze. The flint is used as a bonding/hardening
agent in the manufacture of chinaware.
Silica is extracted using surface mining techniques or quar-
rying from limestone. In the latter case, crushing, washing eihd screening
may be necessary. The types of energy used and their respective quantities
per thousand pounds of silica are shown in Table D-22.

There are significant amounts of natural gas and water used
in the mining and processing of silica.
d. Feldspar Mining; Feldspar is an aluminum silicate mineral
which is used in ceramic manufacture to act as a fluxing agent.
D-29
-------
Feldspar is mined in 13 states but North Carolina and
California produce 65 percent of the nation's total. Hence, transportation
expenses to bring feldspar to ceramic plants may be quite high. Feldspar
is mined primarily by open pit quarry techniques. Usually drilling and
blasting are required, although this is not always so.
The data pertaining to the raw impacts associated with feld-
spar mining are listed in Table D-23. The dominant impact is t,he consider-
able mining waste associated with feldspar mining. More solid waste is
associated with this operation per ton of material than any other opera-
tion for glass manufacture. Also, there is a significant amount of air
pollution which is primarily dust produced by mining and crude ore proces-
sing.

Nepheline syenite, a refractory ingredient, is a type of
feldspar. Therefore, the impact data from feldspar will be used.
e* Bauxite Mining; Aluminum is the most widely distributed
metal in the earth's crust, with only the nonmetallic elements oxygen and
silicon surpassing it in abundance. However, bauxite ore is at the present
time the only commercially expolited source of aluminum. Although other
types of earth, including ordinary clay, contain aluminum, industry eco-
nomics favor bauxite as the preferred ore.
D-30
-------
Bauxite is formed by the action of rain and erosion on mate-
rials containing aluminum oxide (alumina). The heavy rainfall and warm
temperatures of the tropics provide the most nearly ideal conditions for
this process, and most of the world's bauxite is mined in these regions.
Although the United States is the world's largest consumer of bauxite,
nearly 90 percent of the bauxite used here is imported.
Most bauxite is mined by open-pit methods. In Jamaica, the
leading producer of bauxite, the ore lies close to the surface, and only
the vegetation and topsoil need to be stripped. In Arkansas, the top do-
mestic producing region, open-pit mining is also used, with stripping ratios
of 10 feet of overburden to 1 foot of ore considered minable. Underground
mining is employed at one location in Arkansas, and this method is the
most common in Europe.

D-31
-------
Mining solid wastes which are often associated with ore
mining are not included here, but are instead counted in the refining opera-
tion, where they show up either as suspended solids in wastewater effluents
or as solid wastes*
f • Refining of Alumina; Before it can be used in the manu-
facture of ceramics as a refractor ingredient, bauxite ore must be refined
to nearly pure aluminum oxide, Al»0_, usually called alumina. The method
used to accomplish this is called the Bayer process, which is used almost
exclusively. The bauxite is crushed and dissolved in digesters, using strong
caustic soda and lime solutions. The undissolved residue, known as red mud,
is filtered out and constitutes a major disposal problem for alumina refiners*
Sodium aluminate remains in solution, where it is hydrolyzed and precipitated
as aluminum hydroxide, which is then calcined to alumina, generally in a
rotary kiln.
Waterborne wastes and solid wastes constitute the largest
parts of the environmental profile. Both of these categories consist largely
of mining wastes, the roughly 45 percent of bauxite that is discarded after
the sodium aluminate is removed in solution. The manner in which wastes are
handled determines whether they show up as waterborne wastes or as solid
wastes. If these red muds are simply discharged into a river, they are of
course a major water pollutant. In some cases, however, they are impounded
in settling ponds, where they end up as solid wastes on land. The figures
used in the present study are based on data reflecting current practice.
It should be noted, however, that there is an increasing tendency, in some
cases required by legislation, to impound the red muds as solids. Current
industry projections call for reductions of as much as 97 percent in the
waterborne wastes of alumina plants by mid-1975 (U.S. EPA).
The virgin raw materials category reflects only that portion
of the bauxite ore which is mined domestically. The most recent data put
this amount at about 10.A percent of domestic consumption. Impact data
for alumina refining are presented in Table D-25.
g. China Cup Manufacture; During the manufacturing process
the raw materials are first blended in mixing tanks and then prepared for
use in the dinnerware manufacturing line. The cups are molded and baked
in a kiln for the required amount of time. The final manufacturing steps
include decorating and firing to the final finish.
At the current time, manufacturing wastes are being land-
filled. According to tests conducted at the Buffalo Testing Labs, Buffalo,
New York, in March 1972, the ceramic wastes from the china industry can
be used in many applications involving: (1) decorative cement panels for
architectural work; (2) swimming pool construction, construction type con-
crete; and (3) commercial and home garden shops and hobbies.

The data for manufacture of 1,000 pounds of china cups are
shown in Table D-26, and for 1 million cups in Table D-27.
2. Melamine Cup; The principal processes for the production of
melamine (plastic) cups are: (1) natural gas production; (2) natural gas
processing; (3) ammonia manufacturing; (4) carbon dioxide manufacturing;
(5) urea manufacturing; (6) methanol manufacturing; (7) formaldehyde manu-
facturing; (8) melamine resin manufacturing; (9) wood harvesting} (10)
bleached pulp manufacturing; (11) melamine molding composite manufactur-
ing; and (12) cup manufacturing. •
Processes 1, 2, 3, and 6 are discussed in the Disposable Diapers
section (Appendix C-III). Process 4 is covered in the cotton growing sec-
tion of Cloth Towels (Appendix D-I). Processes 9 and 10 are covered in
the Paper Towel section (Appendix C-I). The remaining processes will follow.
a. Urea Manufacture; Urea is colorless crystalline compound
which is very soluable in water and has a melting point of 132.7°C. Urea
is used in the manufacture of fertilizers, varnishes, dyes, flameproofing
materials, resins, and other products.
Commercially, urea is manufactured by reacting ammonia and
.carbon dioxide at high temperature and pressure to form ammonium carbamate,
which is then dehydrated to form urea and water. The reactor effluent is
stripped with carbon dioxide. In the stripper, the nonconverted carbamate
is decomposed into ammonia and carbon dioxide and recycled back to the
high pressure condenser where partial conversion into ammonium carbamate
occurs. This carbamate and the noncondensed gases are fed to the reactor
to begin another cycle.
Urea plants normally have these areas of pollution; urea
dust, gaseous ammonia, and wastewater containing urea and ammonia. The
particulate contamination from pulling dust is estimated to be 0.24 pound
per 1,000 pounds of urea. These particles will probably fall from the air
in the vicinity of the urea plant and add to the waterbome waste load.
Solid wastes are estimated to be 0.05 percent of production. The atmos-
pheric ammonia emissions come from the urea concentrator and represent
estimates based on open literature sources. The waterborne wastes repre-
sent EPA effluent guidelines for 1977.
The environmental impacts for 1,000 pounds of urea are shown
in Table D-28.

b. Formaldehyde Manufacture; About 90 percent of the formal-
dehyde manufactured in the United States comes from the oxidation of raeth-
anol. The oxidation process will use either a silver catalyst or iron-
molybdenum oxide catalyst.
With the silver catalyst, methanol, air, and water are super-
heated and sent to the reaction vessel. The reaction proceeds upon contact
with the catalyst. At the catalytic bed outlet, the reaction gases are cooled
in a boiler which produces steam* Gases from the boiler are sent to an ab-
sorption tower. Absorption tower bottoms go to the distillation tower where
the formaldehyde is purified.
In the iron-molybdenum oxide catalyst process, methanol
is mixed with air and preheated before entering the reactor. As the re-
action proceeds the heat of reaction is removed by heat transfer fluids
and used to prevent the incoming feed, and produce superheated steam. The
reactor effluent is sent to an absorption tower where the proper formal-
dehyde-water concentration is obtained.
D-37
-------
The total direct costs are generally higher for the silver
process; however, the iron-molybdenum process becomes less competitive
in the 20,000 to 25,000 metric tons per year capacity range.
The impacts for formaldehyde manufacture shown in Table
D-29 are a combination of the silver and iron-molybdenum processes. The
iron-molybdenum process is a net producer of 4.9 x 10" Btu of steam per •
metric ton of 100 percent formaldehyde, while the silver proces,^ uses
6.78 x 10^ Btu. The net steam requirement when averaging the values for
the two processes are 0.43 x 10^ Btu per thousand pounds of formaldehyde.

The wastewater volume is estimated to be 131 gallons per
1,000 pounds of 50 percent formaldehyde. The process wastewater streams
are intermittent and generally occur during washing of the absorber, re-
generation of the nonexchange units and effluents from an aqueous slip
stream exiting the bottom of the feed vaporizer. The waterborne wastes
represent EPA 1977 guidelines.
D-38
-------
The atmospheric emissions represent present-day quantities
being released. The new formaldehyde plants coming on stream will have
almost zero atmospheric emissions.
The solid waste value is an estimate based on the quantities
of chemicals used and sludges produced during water pollution control.
c. Melamine Manufacture; Melamine is formed from reacting
urea in a fluidized bed reactor with an aluminia catalyst. The first step
in the process involves heat exchange between the reactor gases and urea.
The molten urea enters the reactor and vaporizes spontaneously. The gaseous
urea reacts to form raelamine, ammonia and carbon dioxide. The conversion
rate is approximately 95 percent. The reaction products contain around
35 percent melamine, 37 percent carbon dioxide, and 28 percent ammonia.
The product gases are cooled in stages to remove cyclic
polymeric by-products (melem and melon) and to condense the melamine gas
which is ultimately recovered as finely divided crystals.
Part of the off-gas products remain in the urea cycle and
serve to heat the incoming urea and then cool the hot reaction gases. The
rest of the off-gases are returned to the urea plant and used as raw mate-
rials. By-product credit was not given for the off-gases.
The environmental impacts for 1,000 pounds of melamine are
shown in Table D-30.
d. Melamine Molding Compound; The melamine molding compound
used in the manufacture of melamine dinnerware is generally produced at
other locations. The materials profile diagram in Chapter 5 shows that urea
is manufactured from ammonia and carbon dioxide raw materials. The urea
is then reacted in a catalyst bed to form melamine.
In manufacturing the melamine molding compound, chemical
melamine is mixed with alpha cellulose (wood pulp), formaldehyde, and a
catalyst. The mixture is reacted, requiring around 500 Btu per pound of
melamine molding compound. The reaction product is dryed, chopped, and sent
through a ball mill to produce the molding compound used in the manufacture
of melamine dinnerware.
The raw impacts associated with manufacturing 1,000 pounds
of the molding compound are shown in Table D-31.
e. Melamine Cup Manufacture; Melamine cups are typically
manufactured at the rate of 480 cups per hour. The molding powder is first
preheated with microwave heaters and then subjected to pressure in the com-
pression molding machines. Preheating requires approximately 10 percent

A* Ceramic
The processes needed for manufacturing ceramic plates are identical
to those discussed in the ceramic hot cup section (Appendix D-V). The plate
manufacturing process is similar to the cup manufacturing process. Table
D-33 and D-34 contain the impact data for .the manufacture of china plates.
B. Melamlne Plates
The processes required for the production of melamine (plastic)
plates are identical to those discussed in the melamine hot cup section
(Appendix D-V). The plate manufacturing process is similar to the cup manu-
facturing process. The molding powder is preheated and subjected to pres-
sure in the compression molding mcahine. Approximately 240 plates per hour
are produced by the machine. The manufacturing impacts for 1 million mela-

APPENDIX E £
DISHWASHING AND CLOTH LAUNDERING PROCESSES
It Piswashing; In this report, only commercial dishwashers
were considered in deriving the impact associated with washing dishes,
cups, glasses, etc.
The capacity of commercial dishwashing machines can vary widely.
The small capacity machines will wash around 800 dishes per hour while
the larger widetrack conveyor units will process up to 14,250 dishes
per hour. In this study, the operations parameters for a single tank-
rack conveyor dishwasher, having a capacity of 150 racks per hour (2,700
plates, 5,400 tumblers, or 2,400 cups per hour) are used in calculating
energy, water, and detergent requirements for washing reusable dinnerware.
The dishwasher requires approximately 20 gallons of water for
filling the wash tank (140°F) and 426 gallons per hour (continuous opera-
tion) for the final rinse water. The wash tank water is heated to and
maintained at 160°F by electric immersion heaters. The final rinse water
is heated from 140°F to 180°F by booster heaters. In commercial foodservice
establishments, 94 percent of operations use natural gas to heat water
to the 140°F temperature. Regarding booster heaters, 36 percent are gas
and 64 percent are electric. The detergent concentration in the wash
tank is maintained at 0.3 percent. Some of the final rinse water is routed
to the wash tank to help maintain the 160°F temperature, and to purge
or skim the wash water in the tank of food particles and grease which
may accumulate on the surface of the water.
In preparation for the washing process, the plates and cups
are scraped, rinsed, and placed on the conveyor racks. Each rack will
hold around 18 plates or 16 cups. At 150 racks per hour, the machine
will wash 2,700 plates, 2,400 cups, or 5,400 tumblers per hour. Energy
requirements for washing 2,700 plates are presented below in Table E-l.
Regarding water pollution, EPA guidelines have not been estab-
lished for the waterborne wastes associated with commercial dishwashing.
In this study, the waterborne wastes were assumed to be comprised entirely
of the detergent components present in the wastewater. Municipal treat-
ment was assumed to reduce the quantity of detergent (expressed as dis-
solved solids) by 80 percent.
The impacts assigned to dishwashing are presented in Table E-2.
The energy and water requirements come from excellent data sources. The
waterborne waste values are rough estimates only. Both the National Restaur-
ant Association and the National Sanitation Foundation were contacted for

Note: The above energy values represent one hour of continuous operation.
The same energy is assigned to washing melamine plates (2,700 per
hour), china and melamine cups (2,400 per hour), and glass and poly-
propylene tumblers (5,400 per hour). The energy .lost in heating the
— dinnerware is assumed to come from the rinse water. The final ef-
fluent rinse water is generally routed through the dishwasher to
accomplish some heat recovery. This heat recovery is assumed to
offset the energy required to heat the dinnerware. For example:
to heat 2,700 china plates from 75°F to 160°F requires approximately
70,000 Btu (specific heat of china plate = 0.2 cal per °C per gram).
The rinse water contains about 467,000 Btu. Therefore, using the
rinse water to heat the china plate represents an energy recovery
factor of 15 percent. The above figures are based on 75 percent
efficiency for gas water heaters and 98 percent for electric water
heaters.

information regarding water pollution resulting from commercial dishwashing;
however, no data were available for submission to the study. Also, the food
residues removed from the plates during the washing cycle were not considered.
(The food residues remaining on the disposable plates were not considered
when calculating the postconsumer solid waste attributable to disposable
dinnerware,)

Energy reduction through use of chemical sanitation rather than
180°F water, would reduce the total energy to requirements of the dishwashing
system by around 42 percent. This would reduce the energy per tumbler from
160 to 93 Btu, per cup 360 to 210 Btu and per plate 321 to 186 Btu (Table
E-3).

2. Commercial Laundering; The primary trade association for
the textile maintenance companies in this country is the Linen Supply
Association of America (LSAA). The LSAA has a membership of around 855
companies. Most of the textile laundering information contained in this
report was furnished by the LSAA or member companies.
The typical commercial laundering facilities utilize washers
having 800 pounds of textile capacity (dry weight) per load, and dryers
which process 400 pounds per load. The smaller on-premise laundry would
use washers with approximately 60 pounds of capacity, and dryers with
50 pounds of capacity per load. The resource and environmental data in
this report are based on the larger commercial laundering companies.
Table E-4 presents a typical laundering schedule for kitchen
towels. The flushing operation is an initial rinse to remove readily
loosened soil. The suds operation emulsifies the oils and greases and
loosens most or all of the remaining soil.

The carryover is an extension of the suds operation since much
of the detergent still remains in the material. Carryover is followed
by bleaching, rinsing and sour treatment. A sour is an acid chemical
added to neutralize any remaining alkalinity.
The laundering schedules for napkins, sheets and diapers will
differ slightly from the schedule in Table E-4. The many different launder-
ing formulations, coupled with the many different types of soil contained
on the textiles, will cause the raw wastewater to be highly variable
with respect to type and concentration of waterborne wastes.
Table E-5 presents the detailed calculations used in deriving
the energy requirements for heating the wash water for laundering napkins,
sheets, and diapers in a commercial laundry. We used the assumption that
100 percent of the waste water is heated by natural gas with an efficiency
of 76 percent. The energy assigned to heating water for the various products
is heavily dependent upon the gallons of water used in the washing process.
The energy varies from 3,168 Btu per pound for napkins to 4,726 Btu per
pound for diapers. In some commercial laundry establishments, the water
use will be much different than shown, and therefore will require more
or less Btu per pound of laundry.
I/ Waste should be wash.

Table E-6 contains a summary of the primary energy consuming
steps in a commercial laundry- The data are broken down into the various
steps to permit the reader to substitute alternative values and test
the effect of the new value on the total energy required per pound of
laundry. The scope and funding cf the study did not permit an indepth
analysis of the commercial laundry industry to pinpoint the low energy
requirements of the more efficient laundries, or the high energy require-
ments of the inefficient laundries. The values in this report represent
averages found in the open literature.
The energy requirement of the gas dryer amounts to about 1,200
Btu per pound of laundry. The energy for drying primarily depends upon
the amount and temperature of the water left in the linen after the ex-
tractor step.
Regarding waterborne wastes, EPA has not set 1977 guidelines
for the commercial laundry industry. At the present time, EPA is planning
to study 21' industries concerning 65 classes of compounds (124 organic
chemicals and 15-20 inorganic chemicals). Laundries are among the 21
industries. The studies are projected to begin in late 1977. The results
will be included in the 1983 guidelines.
For this study we have used proposed EPA guidelines as follows;
BOD-30 milligrams per liter, suspended solids-30 milligrams per liter,
oil and grease-10 milligrams per liter, and metals-2.2 milligrams per
liter. These concentrations were used to calculate the waterborne wastes
for the various product categories, based on the volume of water discharged.
The REPA impacts for 1,000 pounds of napkin, sheet and diaper
laundering are shown in Tables E-7, E-8 and E-9.
3. Home Laundering!>2
a. Cloth Diapers; Industry data submitted for this study
indicate that 4.264 pounds of cloth diapers are washed in the average
load, requiring 0.185 pounds of detergent and 0.064 pounds of bleach
and softener. During the washing process, the washing machine uses 0.35
killowatts per hour of electricity and requires 25 gallons of hot water
and 23 gallons of cold water? The drying process requires 1.91 killowatts
per hour and 3.12 cubic feet of natural gas (at the 67 percent electric
and 33 percent gas national average).
The impacts for washing diapers are calculated for 100 changes
or diaperings. Industry data show 8.56 diapers used per day for 5.82
changes per day, resulting in 1.47 diapers per change. Due to double
and triple diaperings, the 100 changes will result in 147 diapers being
washed (20.09 pounds or 4.71 washer loads). Table E-10 contains the im-
pact data for laundering 100 changes (147 diapers).

The water requirements (hot and cold) for home laundry repre-
sent average usage for washing machines currently on the market as re-
ported by Consumer Reports.
Solid waste from the home laundering of diapers is primarily
sewage sludge formed during municipal waste treatment.
Typical BOD and suspended solids values from home laundry waste
are 184 and 233 milligrams per liter respectively. For this report, we
assumed that 65 percent of the BOD and 80 percent of the suspended solids
are removed in sewage treatment plants* Oil and metal ion quantities
are estimates based on open literature values. Each water pollutant cal-
culation is based on 220 gallons of waste water.
Table E-12 contains the impacts, based on 100 diaperings, which
pertain to diaper treatment prior to laundering. Industry data show
that 55 percent of the changes result in a rinse in, and flush of, the

toilet. At 5 gallons per flush, 275 gallons of water are used to rinse
the 55 changes of diapers. Also, in each rinse approximately 2.96 grams
of feces are flushed to the sewer. At 65 percent removal efficiency and
assigning one pound of BOD to each pound of feces flushed, 100 changes
will result in 0.126 pounds of BOD entering receiving waters. The sus-
pended solid load was assumed to be 80 percent of the BOD load or 0.1
pounds per 100 changes. The solid wastes value is calculated from the
BOD level by assigning 20 percent of the BOD removed to sewage sludges
or 0.07 pounds per 100 diaper changes (2.96 x 55 x 0.2)/454 = 0.07 pounds
sewage sludge). The "use" impacts in Table E-12 are part of the home
diaper REPA profile and are added to the total system impacts during
the computer calculations.

Table E-13 contains the impact data for home laundry of cloth
towels, cloth napkins, and sponges. The washer load for linen used in
this report is 12 pounds. The energy values are based on the energy to
wash diapers in the home laundry with the heavier load of linen taken
into account. The water volume, solid waste, and waterborne wastes are
also based on industry data used in calculating the diaper washing impacts.

Table E-14 compares the total REPA summary data for Cloth Towels
(U100, L5) and Cloth Napkins Home Use (U100) with the laundering component
of the profile represented by data from 8 pound loads and 12 pound loads.
The older washing machines (home) would encourage the use of 8 pound loads
while the newer 18 to 20 pound capacity machines would probably result in
wash loads of 12 pounds and heavier* The values in Table E-14 represent
the total profile summary and not just the laundering component.
The values in Table E-14 show a total system energy increase of
25 percent for the cloth towel system, and 29 percent for the home cloth
napkin system when decreasing the wash load from 8 pounds to 12 pounds.
A similar decrease in energy would be expected for those households using
16 pound loads rather than 12 pounds per load.

I. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY
The products included in this study—towels, napkins, sheets,
diapers and foodservice ware—are vital components in the American way of
life. The average individual uses or comes into contact with the majority
of these types of products during the course of each day. Accordingly, the
relative sanitation of the disposable and reusable variants within each
product type is a significant concern of all involved in delivering these
items to the consumer.
The "Public Health and Sanitation" component of this comprehen-
sive study of selected disposable versus reusable products examines con-
cerns that have been raised regarding the public health and sanitation as-
pects of these products. In accordance with the scope of work for this in-
vestigation, MSI conducted a literature review of relevant sanitation studies,
as well as of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Sanitation Code and
1 2
selected state and local sanitation ordinances.' A total of 85 references
were reviewed for this task. Additionally, MRI contacted 32 public health
associations and industrial associations, 40 product manufacturers, national
and regional FDA officials, and 5 state health agencies. A complete list
of these contacts is provided in Appendix B of this report.
In accordance with the contract scope of work, no original re- •
search was to be conducted in the development of information for this study.
Yet, MRI believes that the report presents a consensus of the available
literature and of the opinions of industry and government officials regard-
ing the public health impacts of these selected disposable and reusable
products-i

II. GENERAL SANITATION CONCERNS RELATED TO CLOTH PRODUCTS
A. Contamination of Cloth by Microorganisms
One of the central health concerns related to the use of cloth
products is their sanitation. Scientific studies have shown that fabrics
can harbor microorganisms which can be transmitted from person to person.
In light of this finding, it is especially significant to investigate the
presence of microorganisms on cloth—their persistence, transmittal from •
fabric to humans, and their diminution or eradication via laundering.
1* Mechanisms of Contamination; There are four basic mechanisms
by which microorganisms may be transmitted:
a. Contactt In this type of contamination, bacteria may be
suspended in fluid or dispersed in a more dense medium. For example, a hos-
pital sheet could be contaminated by urine, a fluid medium; or through skin
lesions or feces, both of which are relatively dense.
b. Droplet; Droplets are large moisture-laden particles which
can be spread by talking, coughing and sneezing. They remain airborne only
a short time but can contaminate fabrics as they fall.
c. Droplet Nuclei; These are the residues resulting from
evaporation of moisture from droplets. They may remain airborne for long
periods of time but eventually fall, at which point contamination may occur.
(Droplet nuclei contamination is also called aerosol contamination.)
d. Dust; In this type of contamination, microorganisms adhere
to particles of dust which may be dislodged, by sweeping or other similar
S-2
-------
movements, from the fabric. These dust particles may then become airborne
and subsequently lodge on a surface or directly on a person.
2. Persistence of Microorganisms; Once fabrics have become con-
taminated, the microorganisms may survive for a relatively long period of
time under favorable conditions (e.g., rough-textured material and low hu-
midity). A number of studies have been done on the persistence of micro-
organisms under normal conditions on certain types of fabrics. McNeil and
Greenstein (38), demonstrated that viable Staphylococcus aureus persisted
on cotton for 84 days, E. coli for 32 days and Mycobacterium butyricum for
70 days. The authors also tested the persistence of the same microorganisms
on wool and acetate tricot, finding longer survival times on the wool and
shorter times on the tricot. They explained this result in terms of the
construction of the various materials, wool having a scaly, rough texture
to which microorganisms adhere quite easily and tricot being relatively
smooth and more resistant to such adherence. Survival times also varied
with degree of humidity, with a fairly high humidity (70 percent), usually
associated with less persistence than a low humidity (28 percent). McNeil
and Greenstein concluded that "it is evident from the data...that the test
bacteria survived on the fabrics for sufficient periods of time to be of
epidemiological significance."- (38, Page 137).
_!/ Although the phrase "of epidemiological significance" is not precisely
defined in this or in a subsequently cited study, the author's implica-
tion is that longer survival times provide a greater opportunity for
exposure to a potential human host, thus presenting greater public
health significance. No evidence of actual infectiousness is presented.
S- 3
-------
A series of studies performed by Sidwell, Dixon and McNeil (10,
67, 68 and 69) examined the persistence of vaccinia virus and poliomyelitis
virus on cotton and wool fabrics* Two types of wool material and three types
of cotton, including cotton sheeting, were exposed to the virus strains
i
by direct contact, aerosol, and dustj and then held in two varying condi-
tions of humidity--at 35 percent and 78 percent. Vaccinia was found to sur-
vive up to 14 weeks in the wool fabrics at low humidity. In cotton, the
virus was recovered only up to 6 to 8 weeks at the low humidity, and for
less than 6 weeks at the 78 percent humidity. Again, persistence of vac-
cinia virus on all fabrics was concluded to be of sufficient duration to
be of epidemiological significance. The poliomyelitis virus persisted for
1 to 4 weeks on cotton fabrics at 35 percent humidity. In higher humidity,
the period of viral persistence was shorter, although the decrease in virus
titer was less rapid. The authors note that "since the major source of polio-
virus in the human environment is feces of infected individuals (cases or
carriers), the persistence of the virus on fabrics commonly used In cloth-
ing and bedding is of major importance in considering possible virus dissemi-
nation by fomites," (10, Page 183).
Two studies done by Wilkoff, Westbrjok and Dixon (83 and 84),
demonstrate that Staphylococcua aureus and Salmonella typhimurium also
remain on fabrics for significant periods of time. Staph aureus was found
to survive on all fabrics, including cotton sheeting and cotton wash-and-
wear (exact composition not indicated) for sufficient periods to be of epi-
demioiogicai significance* Salmonella persisted on cotton sheeting for 24
S--4
-------
weeks at 35 percent humidity and for 6 to 12 weeks under 78 percent humi-
dity. Both Staph aureus and Salmonella survived for relatively brief periods
on the cotton wash-and-wear*
3* Release of Microorganisms from Cloth and Potential for Disease
Transmission! Obviously then, fabrics can harbor bacteria for a significant
period of time* However, the next step in the transmission process involves
the release of these resident bacteria into the environment or directly •
ontc a surface where they may impact negatively on humans* Sidwell et al.
(69) undertook a study to determine whether poli'ovirus and vaccinia could
be released in sufficient amounts to be capable of dissemination to sus-
ceptible hosts* A number of fabrics, including cotton, wool, and synthetic
blends, were exposed to these viruses by direct contact and by aerosolization,
allowed to dry and then randomly tumbled with sterile swatches of the same
fabrics for 30 minuses. Up to 10 * CCID — of poliovirus per milliliter
4,4
and 10 CCID n of vaccinia virus per milliliter were recovered from the
originally sterile fabrics as early as 1 to 10 minutes after contact. The
authors note that the exposed fabrics were contaminated with an extremely
large quantity of virus, greater than would be expected in domestic uses;
however, they believe that the rapid transfer of poliovirus and vaccinia
(considered to be sufficiently diverse to represent the most important human
viruses) from contaminated to sterile fabric indicates that the virus particles
adhere loosely to the fabric and would probably be disseminated rather easily
under normal usage conditions* But, they conclude that, "it is yet to be
II Critical Concentration Intradermal, causing reaction in 50 percent of
test animals receiving intradermal injection.
S-5
-------
determined whether a... human being would become clinically infected by
the quantity of virus that was transferred to the sterile fabrics," (69,
Page 953).
In another study implicating fabrics as potential fomites, Duguid
and Wallace (38), as reported in McNeil and Greenstein, compared the number
of bacteria released from the clothing of nasal carriers of Staphylococcus
aureus to the number transmitted via sneezing. Clothing is obviously subjected
to significant agitation through the normal movements of the wearer; and
such agitation is considered to be a factor in bacterial release. Duguid
and Wallace found a significantly greater amount of Staph aureus air con-
tamination from dust particles released from clothing than from droplet
nuclei emitted during sneezing. Ten percent of the dust particles emanat-
ing from the clothing and containing Staph aureus remained airborne for
at least 35 minutes, a sufficient period of time for contamination of per-
sons or inanimate objects*
Other authors have reported cases of illness directly traced to
contaminated fabrics. Oliphant, Gordon, Meis and Parker reported that laundry
workers had contracted Q fever (a rickettsial disease) from handling con-
taminated clothing, presumably by inhaling infected lint. In 1951, several
unvaccinated laundry workers in Great Britain contracted smallpox by handling
the soiled linen used by persons suffering from subclinical cases of the
disease. And, Gonzaga studied the effects of exposing newborn infants to
linens which had been contaminated by known Staph aureus carriers. The in-
fants contracted the infection when exposed to heavily contaminated articles."
_!/ All of the studies described in this paragraph were reported in Refer-
ence Number 43.
S-6
-------
These studies emphasize the potential for disease transmission
presented by contaminated cloth products. Although several of the investi-
gations focused on clothing rather than linens (Duguid and Oliphant), the
basic mechanisms of contamination and dissemination are the same.
In our present study, the cloth products under investigation ex-
hibit the potential for significant contamination. A cloth towel, used in
the kitchen for wiping kitchen spills, can easily be contaminated by hand •
contact. The hands are major carriers of microorganisms because they touch
such a variety of potentially contaminated .surfaces (8). Additionally, spilled
food or liquids can provide excellent media which can support the growth
of bacteria. Napkins present a different potential for contamination because
of their contact with the mouth, where a variety of microorganisms are har-
bored. Finally, the bed sheet used in institutions is subject to the most
severe contamination. Hospital patients, who often carry some type of infec-
tion, can contaminate sheets in a variety of ways: any type of wound or
lesion may emit blood or purulent discharge onto the sheet; the patient
may excrete, through urination or defecation, potentially pathogenic material;
or he may contaminate the linen merely through touching, sneezing, coughing
or talking.
Despite the fact that fabrics can harbor microorganisms, that
these microorganisms can persist for a significant period of time, and that
cases of disease have been traced to contaminated fabrics, direct correla-
tion between contaminated fabrics and disease is not always clear. The likeli-
hood of particular microorganisms causing disease when transmitted from one.
S-7
-------
person to another, via fabric, is dependent on a variety 9? factors! the
numbers and types of organism involved, their degree of virulence., the mode
of entry, and the degree of immunity of the person involved* While these
factors are undeniably important in accurately assessing the overall health
threat represented by exposure to various microorganisms, definitive data
in these areas are sorely lacking. Most of the studies presented in the
following section, therefore, deal solely with the numbers of various bac-
teria found in fabrics, before and after laundering* While this measure
does not totally assess the associated health threat, the basic relationship
between the degree of exposure to potential pathogens and health jeopardy
is logically sound* In summarizing this topic, Davis mades the following
commenti
"The phenomena of commmicability and invasiveness are complex
and controlled by many factors, but, other things being equal, the contact
with large numbers of potential pathogens must obviously increase the chance
of infection," (8, Page 89). Consistent with this focus, the following sec-
tions investigate the laundering process in general and the effectiveness
of typical commercial, institutional and home laundering practices in elim-
inating microorganisms from fabric.
B. Sanitation Mechanisms in the Laundering Process
Despite the foregoing conclusions regarding cloth products as
potential disease carriers, the inherent potential for disease transmission
can be virtually eliminated by proper laundering techniques* Laundering
represents the best single key to the achievement of sanitation in cloth
S- 8
-------
products; and, for this reason, the practice of effective laundering methods
in the home, commercial and institutional facilities becomes highly sig-
nificant in producing products which meet acceptable public health standards.
The laundering process provides three basic mechanisms by which
bacteria can b$ destroyedi
. The mechanical action of water and detergent solutions;
. The action of heat; and
. The bactericidal action of reagents used for cleansing.
1. Mechanical Actiont The first step Involves the physical removal
of bacteria-harboring soil from the fabric. The agitation of the washer,
coupled with detergent, lifts Che soil out of the fabric and suspends it
in the wash water. At this point, called the first "break," millions of
bacteria may be suspended in each milliliter of water in the average load.
As the contaminated water is flushed away and replaced by clean water, the
bacterial count is deerementally reduced through the dilution process. With
each flushing operation, the count further decreases* The effect of deter-
gency and dilution is illustrated in Figure 1. Although the lower curve
in the figure represents a higher temperature (125 to 140°), the percent-
age of bacteria removal at each step is approximately the same as that of
the 100 temperature--a 50 percent reduction at each flush. However, as
shown in the graph,, it was necessary to add bleach to effect total bacteri-
cidal action.
2. Heati The action of heat alone can be effective in destroying
bacteria. Smith and Mack note that "water alone at 160 F causes almost
complete destruction of representative pathogenic organisms...(however)

where low or moderate temperatures are used in laundering, it is difficult
to attain complete sterilization," (71, Page 98). In addition to heat in
the washing process, dryers and ironing can provide some bactericidal action,
although the literature indicates that these latter heat sources should
not be relied upon to achieve fabric sanitation.
A study done by Sidwell et al. (67) confirms the significance
of heat in bacterial destruction. Swatches of fabric were contaminated,
through direct and aerosol exposure, with poliovirus and then laundered
at three different temperatures using two types of detergent and using no
detergent. Table 1 shows the results of these tests on cotton sheeting.
As indicated in the table, detergent usage made little difference,
but the hot wash water markedly reduced the amount of detectable virus.
The authors note that "the heat supplied by the wash water was one of the
most important factors in eliminating viable poliovirus from the contami-
nated fabrics, as shown by the fact that virus reductions were marked in
the hot water experiments, with little detectable virus remaining 'on the
fabrics," (67, Page 229). It is also interesting to note that drying had
a significant effect on virus reduction.
Additionally, the study showed that ro virus was recovered from
the rinse water after hot water laundering; however, virus was recovered
from rinse water after warm and cold water laundering. Sterile fabrics laun-
dered with contaminated fabrics in hot water had a lower virus content than
similar fabrics laundered in warm or cold water. These results indicate
that warm and cold water physically remove the virus from the fabric, but
that hot water not only removes the virus but also inactivates it.

-------
Time is an inseparable component of temperature in effecting bac-
terial destruction. Davis (8) notes that the cumulative exposure time to
high temperatures is the best indicator of bactericidal effectiveness. Strin-
gent regulations on laundering, such as those established by the. Joint Com-
mission on the Accreditation of Hospitals for hospital laundries, dictate
that fabrics be held at 160° for 25 minutes. There is little doubt, according
to the literature, that fabrics would be effectively sanitized by such ex-
posure. However, some studies (34,8) indicate that with a few minutes ex-
posure to 140° temperature, fabrics become free of certain types of pathogens.
Figure 2 depicts thermal destruction of one strain of Staph aureus at 140 ,
130° and 120°; obviously, the 120° temperature was ineffective, leaving ap-
proximately 50 microorganisms after 25 minutes; whereas at 140 , all the
Staph was destroyed after 2 minutes. Thus, a slight increase in temperature
can markedly reduce kill time.

S-13
-------
Two other significant factors in evaluating thermal destruction
are the particular type of bacteria and the type of soil to which it ad-
heres* For example, a strain of E. coli harbored in broth can be destroyed
at a considerably lower temperature than the same strain adhering to cream.
Also, whereas the strain of Staph aureus represented in Figure 2 could be
destroyed by a 2-minute exposure to a 140 temperature, another strain of
the same organism can survive up to 19 minutes of exposure to the same
degree of heat.
3. Chemicals; Chemicals represent the third mechanism for bac-
terial destruction in the laundering process. There are four basic types
of chemical bactericides (disinfectants):
a. Alkalies; Alkalies create a highly alkaline environment
in which many bacteria cannot survive and also neutralize the acidity present
in many soils, thereby enhancing the effect of detergents.
b. Detergents (soaps); Soaps have varying effects on micro-
organisms* Pneumococci, meningococci, gonococci, and numerous other organ-
isms are easily destroyed by the chemical action of detergents. Others,
such as certain strains of Staphylococci and tubercle bacilli, are more
resistant and can be killed only by the combined action of heat and deter-
gent.
c. Bleaches; Chlorine bleach is dependent on a number of
factors for its effectiveness: a low pH value, high temperature, and rela-
tively high bleach concentration. Figure 3 illustrates the significance
of each of these factors in the destruction of Bacillus metiens.

-------
d. Sours; A sour produces an acidic condition which neutral-
izes residual alkali from earlier processes and also completes bacterial
destruction by creating a low pH condition deleterious to many bacteria.
Sours are particularly useful as bactericides in colored loads where lower
temperatures are used and no bleach is added.
Because the many organisms which can be found in fabrics re-
spond so differently to laundry chemicals, there is no one substance which
will kill all bacteria. Additionally, as illustrated in the case of chlorine
bleach, there are several variables which can alter bactericidal action.
However, proper combinations of agitation, heat, and chemicals should result
in almost complete elimination of microorganisms. Smith and Mack note that
"a good washing formula utilizing the successive actions of alkali, soap,
bleach, and sour at temperatures in the range of 160 for the break and
sudsing operations, with bleaching at 140 to 145 , can be expected to
effectuate the complete destruction of bacteria ordinarily encountered in
laundering" (71, Page 100).
C. Effectiveness of Commercial Laundering
The cloth products being investigated in this study (towels, nap-
kins, diapers, and sheets) may be laundered by any one of the following
methods:
. Commercial laundry (household towels and napkins, commercially-
used napkins, diapers, some institutional sheets).
. Home laundry, including self-service laundromats (household
S- 16
-------
towels and napkins, diapers).
. Institutional laundry (sheets).
Because of special considerations inherent in the laundering of
diapers and institutional (predominantly hospital) sheets, laundry proce-
dures for these products will be discussed in the respective projects se.-
tions.
Towels and napkins, however, are generally treated by standard
laundry procedures. If sent to a commercial laundry, towels and napkins
would normally be handled by one of the following techniques recommended
by the International Fabricare Institute, which is one of the major associ-
ations representing commercial laundries:

4. Lightly Soiled White Loads; Same as standard white work except
that first suds is at 100 and subsequent sudsings may be at slightly lower
temperatures than for standard white work*
5t Commercial Flatwork (Such as napkins); Handled in the same
manner as lightly soiled white loads*
These recommended procedures all involve a minimum of 17 minutes
exposure to 140°F (colored loads) and a maximum of 30 minutes exposure to
155 or above (23 minutes to 160° or higher) for standard white work. Although
S-18
-------
these time and temperature recommendations do not match those presented in
the literature (160° for 25 minutes), the addition of chemical bactericides
(alkalies, detergents, bleaches and sours) supplement the antibacterial
action of time and temperature*
In order to determine if such commercial laundering techniques
produced reasonably sterile fabrics, Nicholes (43) performed bacteriologi-
cal studies of commercially laundered items from all over the world. The
products tested included continuous roll towels, napkins and dish towels.
Nicholes1 results were reported mainly on the continuous towels, which ini-
tially showed an average of 41,960 bacteria per square inch in one test
and over 3 million in another. After the laundries were advised to make
adjustments in time, temperature and chemicals, counts were reduced to <32
and to 160,000, respectively. Nicholes emphasizes, however, that even the
initial high counts proved to be mostly gram-positive spore-forming (and
thus heat-resistant) organisms which he feels do not present a great public
health nuisance. Marmo concurs that these organisms tend not to be pathogenic
but rather tend to be mold and mildew-producers (34). Nicholes also concluded,
from an extensive literature review, that laundered fabrics have never been
implicated in the transfer of disease.
It is significant to note that in Nicholes1 study, bactericidal
effectiveness was considerably improved by instructing the laundries in
proper time, temperature, and chemical utilization. While standard practice
in the commercial laundry industry involves bactericidal techniques, the
human factor must be considered in evaluating the compliance of individual
laundries to industry standards*
S-19
-------
In another study conducted under the auspices of the American
Institute of Laundering (AIL now IFI), bacterial counts were taken at each
step of the white and colored laundry formulas, using temperatures consider-
ably lower than are now recommended by IFI. Even at these lower temperatures,
however, no bacteria were recovered at the end of the white washing procedure
and only 158 bacteria per cubic centimeter at the conclusion of the colored
method (again indicating the added effectiveness of bleach used in the white
wash). Tables 2 and 3 summarize these test results*
/
The American Institute of Laundering study also compared commer-
cially laundered loads with home washing* The average bacteria count in
the last rinse for colored loads as found in 109 commercial laundries was
71 organisms per cubic centimeter compared to 318,792 per cubic centimeter
as found in nine different randomly selected homes in a total of 180 tests*
For white loads in the same laundries, the average count was only 31 per
cubic centimeter*
D. Effectiveness of Home Laundering
The results of the AIL study are consistent with the majority
of other literature on home laundering, which indicates that such poor re-
sults from home laundries are attributable to a number of factors:
1* Generally shorter wash times: an MRI survey of local service
centers for three home washer manufacturers indicates that the washing (de-
tergency and dilution) time in home laundry averages only 12 minutes for
a normal full load. However, most washers can be set for shorter wash times,

which are often recommended for synthetic fabrics. Coin-operated washers
in laundromats average a 10-minute washing time.
2. Lower temperatures: McNeil (36) notes that average home laundry
temperatures at the hot water setting range from 120 to 130 , while at
the warm water setting, temperature averages about 100° (temperature being
dependent in both cases on the setting of the hot water heater in the home
or self-service laundry).
3. Use of less water.
4. Reuse of water.
5. Use of less effective chemical reagents.
According to the USDA, "Neither the water temperatures nor the
detergents used under today's home laundering conditions can be relied on
to reduce the number of bacteria in fabrics to a safe level," (66). Ethel
McNeil, formerly of the USDA Agricultural Research Service, has performed
several studies of home laundering. In one study, nine families brought
soiled laundry to the lab each week for several months. The bactericidal
effectiveness of three types of disinfectants (quaternary, phenolic and
sodium hypochlorite, also called chlorine bleach) was tested at varying
water temperatures and with varying types of detergents. The temperature
of the wash water at the "hot water" setting varied from 122 to 140°F at
the beginning of the wash cycle, and from 109° to 135°F at the end of the
cycle. The temperature of the wash water at the "warm water" setting varied
from 91°F to 118°F at the beginning of the wash cycle, and from 88°F to
108 F at the end of the wash cycle.
S-22
-------
Bacterial counts were made of treated and untreated wash and rinse
waters and of swatches of fabrics attached to an article of clothing* Detailed
test results are presented in Tables I through V, in Appendix A to this
report.
The conclusions of the report were as follows:
1* Large numbers of bacteria were recovered from many of the un-
treated wash and rinse waters, even at the "hot water" setting. Home launder-
ing temperatures and detergents cannot, therefore, be relied on for the
control of transmission of bacteria by textiles and clothing.
2. The quaternary disinfectant at a concentration of 200 ppm,
added to either the wash or rinse water at the hot water setting, consis-
tently reduced bacterial counts in the water and on the fabric swatches.
3. The phenolic disinfectants also reduced bacterial counts in
the wash and rinse cycles when used at a concentration of 125 ppm or higher.
4. The sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) was effective at
160 and 320 ppm of available chlorine.
5. Redeposition of bacteria did occur from soiled fabrics to the
attached swatches*
As a corollary to the preceding study, McNeil investigated the
types of bacteria which had been isolated from the home laundering procedures*
Over 1,500 colonies of bacteria were described and gram stains were made.
Four hundred of these were retained for further study; 30 species of 13
genera were identified, most of which were found in wash loads to which
disinfectants were not added. These species are listed in Table 4. The most

significant bacteria from a household hygiene standpoint were Staphylococcus
aureus, Pseudomonas acruginosa and Parac.olbactrum« In evaluating the health
status of families whose launtjerecl fabrics contained these bacteria, McNeil
found that three of the seven families with Staph aureus reported skin lesions
or upper respiratory infections during the period prior to laboratory laundry
of their clothes| five of the eight with Paracolbactrum aerogenoides reported
intestinal disorders} and three of the seven with Pseudomonas reported ear
or genitourinary infections* In each cage, the bacteria isolated represent
a common causative agent for the type of infections reported. It is clear
from McNeil's study that pathogenic bacteria can be transmitted from in-
fected humans to fabrics, and that these bacteria can survive home launder-
ing, especially when disinfectants are not added*
McNeil's work forms the basis for a USDA recommendation, contained
in the bulletin, "Sanitation in Home Laundering," (66) that disinfectants
be employed whenevert
1. There is illness in the family, or
2. Laundry facilities are shared.
Quaternary and liquid chlorine disinfectants are recommended by USDA for
all temperatures; pine oil and phenolics, for hot and warm water.
Witt and Warden (85) also studied the effectiveness of home launder-
ing by using varying water temperatures (hot = 140 , warm = 100°, cold =
60 ), and detergent concentrations (none, 0.1 percent, 0.2 percent, 0.4
percent) on fabrics contaminated with Staph aureus. They found that none
of the combinations of temperatures and detergent concentrations removed
S-25
-------
(00 percent of the organisms) however, as water temperatures and detergent
concentrations increased, bacterial survival decreased on the contaminated
fabrics, on the sterile fabrics following redepositipn of bacteria from
contaminated fabrics, and in the wash water* Figures 4 and 5 illustrate
these results for the fabrics and wash waters*

The study points out factors which can cause redeposition of soil
from contaminated to uncontaminated fabrics:
1. A high amount of soil;
2. Adverse temperature conditions;
3. A low volume of water; and
4. A low detergent concentration.
S-26
-------
Home laundries often exhibit all of these factors, with lower water tem-
peratures, overfilling of washers resulting in a low water-to-fabric ratio,
and misuse of- detergent's* Another problem emphasized in this study is the
removal of clothes from automatic dryers before they are completely dry.
This practice, often followed for no-iron fabrics, provides a warm, moist
environment which encourages bacterial growth*
Tables VI and VII in Appendix A to this report provide complete
results of Vitt and Warden's experiments on two types of fabric.
A fourth study which investigated noncommercial laundering was
performed by the Applied Biological Science Lab, Inc., for the Linen Supply
Association of America (LSAA)• The purpose of the study was to determine
the effectiveness of the washing procedure recommended by the American Hotel
and Motel Association (AHMA) for no-iron linens. This procedure involves
washing for 5 minutes at 100°F and adding a bacteriostat to achieve sanita-
tion. Both cotton muslin and 50 percent cotton/50 percent polyester blend
sheets were tested, using 100 and 160° temperatures, two types of detergents
and no detergent* The sheets had been innoculated with a 1 x 10 dosage of
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The summary of the tests is presented in Figure 6.
As indicated in the figure, the most effective results were ob-
tained from the 30-minute, 160 wash. The 5-minute washes (as recommended
by AHMA) at both temperatures left a significant bacterial residue, although
at 160°, with detergents, results were more favorable than at the lower
temperature. There was no measureable difference in results between the
cotton muslin and the cotton/polyester blend in terms of bacterial reten-
tion.

-------
In contrast to the preceding study, a University of Iowa Hospital
comparison (2) of the same materials at the same temperatures and times
indicated that 5-minute, 100 washes were quite effective in producing sani-
tary linen. Table 5 shows the results of their microbiological testing.
As indicated, the no-iron sheets contained fewer bacteria prior to washing
than the conventional cotton sheets. (No explanation of this phenomenon
was offered.) Also, the 5-minute, 100 wash produced a level of sanitation
comparable to that resulting from the commercial method for the 100 percent
cotton sheets. It should be noted, however, that this was the only study
encountered in the literature which indicated favorable results for short-
time, low-temperature laundry procedures and which showed lower initial
bacteria counts on no-iron fabrics.
The overwhelming evidence gathered during the course of this study
indicates that standard commercial laundering methods, using at least 140°
temperatures, 15- to 30-minute cycle periods, with the additition of chemicals,
produce far more sanitary fabrics than do typical home (short-time, low-
temperature) laundering procedures.
A final consideration in cloth product sanitation and laundering
is recontamination of fabrics after washing. Even though cloth may be totally
sanitized and free of microorganisms at the conclusion of the washing process,
it may be recontaminated during subsequent stages of laundering, drying, iron-
ing and folding. Church and Loosli (6) studied this recontamination problem
in one hospital and one commercial laundry. (For the purposes of this section,
only the results of the commercial laundry testing will be discussed.) They

found that the laundry process was efficient in removing bacteria from the
fabrics during washing, but that the materials became recontaminated during
water extraction in the spin dryer or while they were being folded. Figure
7 graphically depicts the results of air samples taken at various sites
in the laundry. As indicated, the highest counts were found near the sorting
table, near the extractor at the end of the extraction process, and near
the dryer and folding table.
The authors found that the open-lid extractors were drawing in
large numbers of airborne bacteria which were subsequently harbored in the
textiles being spun-dry. Table 6 shows the relationship among the increase
in airborne bacteria, waterborne bacteria and linen contamination from the
beginning of the laundering cycle through the end of the extraction process.
Samples were taken at the time of maximum sorting activity, when movement
of the soiled clothes contributes heavily to airborne bioload. Samples taken
in the hospital laundry when no sorting was in process showed considerably
lower bacterial counts. The study also concluded that the heat of the iron-
ing process was insufficient to eliminate all the organisms built up during
*
extraction.
The extent to which the recontamination problems outlined above
occur in individual laundries related to the layout and operation of the
facility. Solutions to identified problems are dependent on an understand-
ing of potential trouble areas, so that precautions (e.g., ventilation,
screening, etc.) may be taken to minimize bacterial redeposition.

In summaryi sanitation concerns related to cloth products in general
involve a wide range of variables, and no definitive conclusions can be
reached regarding absolute degrees of contamination or sanitation of a given
product. However, the following points are overwhelmingly supported by the
literaturet
1. Cloth products are potential disseminators of microorganisms(
2. Laundering at 160 for 25 minutes can reasonably ensure destruc-
tion of pathogenic bacteria (lesser time and temperature being effective
for some bacteria);
3. Commercial laundering methods are generally superior to home
laundering methods in sanitizing cloth products; and
4. The impacts of inadequate sanitation on the public health cannot
be definitively determined, since variables such as degree of contamination
and susceptibility of the exposed populace significantly affect the relation*
ship between contaminated fabrics and the development of disease.
III. TOWELS AND NAPKINS
Despite an extensive literature search and comprehensive contacts
with organizations, manufacturers and public health officials, very little
data could be gathered regarding towels and napkins in the applications
prescribed by this study (i.e., home use and laundry of cloth and paper
towels and sponges; home and commercial use and laundry of cloth and paper
napkins). Health and sanitation concerns related to toweling have focused
primarily on hand drying applications in commercial and institutional environ-
ments. In particular, the communal cloth towel has been the subject of the
See comments Appendix B, pages 17-18.

-------
closest scrutiny. However, regarding the use of toweling or sponges for
cleaning up kitchen spills, there is neither a clearly defined basis for
public health concern nor any previous study which focuses on such applica-
tion. Data on napkima ar« even more sparse. In the absence of definitive
information, attention will be directed in this section to specific concerns
raised regarding the prescribed product applications, and, where possible,
to tfce IntarpolatfcM Of otter relevant data to these concerns.
The chief concern in the use of towels or sponges for wiping up
kitchen spills is the possible transmission of microorganisms, which may
originate from food spills or hands and multiply in the favorable environ-
ment provided by the mutrient-enriched damp towel or sponge. Thus, if a
cloth towel or sponge is used to wipe up a spill containing bacteria (e.g.,
juices from raw meat), and allowed to retain the food residues within a
warm, damp environment, that towel or sponge could transmit a heavy bioload
onto kitchen surfaces or onto human hands. The offensive odor often emitted
by damp kitchen cloths or sponges, especially during warm weather, is indica-
tive of the bacterial content of these products when used in this manner.
A major sponge manufacturer does not share this concern but indi-
cates that, based on its test data," "There is little concern with spread
of microorganisms since the product (is) usually well-rinsed or washed out
in use." None of the cloth towel manufacturers provided any data regarding
kitchen applications of their product. It would seem obvious from the fore-
going discuasioa that the public health threat posed by reuse of cloth towels
_!/ Stated to have been destroyed in a fire and hence not available to MRI.
S-35
-------
or sponges would depend on the habits of the individual user; i.e., a sponge
or towel which is indeed rinsed thoroughly between uses, periodically washed
with some type of soap product, and allowed to dry sufficiently between
uses, would be less likely to transmit bacteria than a product not treated
so hygienically. But, the paper towel, used only once and then discarded,
would virtually eliminate this potential for cross-infection.
Despite these observations and assumptions, the absence of labora-
tory data precludes a substantive or quantitative evaluation of the three
products in kitchen applications.
Of primary concern in the use of napkins, both in the home and
in commercial establishments, is the potential for transmission of bacteria
from the hands and mouth of one user to those of the subsequent users* Again,
no laboratory data are available from which to make quantitative assessments,
but certain observations can be made. In the home setting, cloth napkins
are often used for several days before they are laundered, creating increased
potential for bacterial transmission. And, as discussed in the previous sec-
tion, if they are processed by normal home laundry techniques, they are un-
likely to be thoroughly sanitized prior to a new use cycle. If sent to a
commercial laundry, however, the napkins should have significantly lower
bacterial counts.
Cloth napkins used in a commercial setting must be changed after
each usage, as prescribed in almost every local food sanitation ordinance.
Generally, these napkins are commercially laundered, and again may be as-
sumed to exhibit sanitation standards such as were described in the preced-
ing section.
S—36
-------
In terms of Che sanitary qualities of paper towels and napkins,
the literature does provide one piece of data on unused paper towels which
can be presumed to relate to paper napkins as well. Test data supplied by
the American Paper Institute (47) indicates that typical total bacterial
counts of paper toweling from one manufacturer average 180 organisms per
square foot. This may be compared to the FDA Sanitation Code (14) standard
of 100 organisms per foodservice product contact surface. Depending on •
the size of the towel or napkin being considered, the API count could be
either slightly inferior or slightly superior to the FDA standard. However,
it should also be pointed out here that the FDA standard itself may not
be based on any real evidence linking degree of microbial contamination
to attendant public health threat.
The literature has also compared typical paper towel counts to
bacterial counts on commercially-laundered cloth products in hand-drying
applications (40, 47, 8); in each comparison, paper toweling has been shown
to harbor significantly fewer bacteria than cloth toweling. While this type
of data cannot be related directly to conditions likely to prevail in the
home kitchen or commercial restaurant facility, it is still reasonable to
assume that paper would show fewer bacteria than would cloth towels or nap-
kins.
However, in view of the lack of substantive evidence establishing
cloth towels, cloth napkins and sponges as sources of pathogenic organisms,
to which normal exposure would likely cause infection, MRI can formulate
no definitive conclusion as to the relative health and sanitation status
of paper versus cloth towels versus sponges, or paper versus cloth napkins.

IV. DIAPERS
The disposable diaper has become an increasingly popular product
for infant care in the home. More than 2,800 hospitals have adopted the
disposable diaper for use in their newborn nurseries* Seventy-five percent
of all babies born in hospitals are first diapered in disposable diapers
(9), and many parents continue this method of diapering in the home situa-
tion. Unquestionably, the disposable diaper provides an element of conveni-
ence not offered by the conventional cloth diaper. The disposable is merely
removed and discarded, whereas the cloth diaper must be soaked, laundered,
dried, folded, and returned to storage. In the hospital situation, utiliza-
tion of cloth diapers adds a significant burden to the laundry facility;
in the home, parents either assume the extra work themselves or employ a
commercial diaper service.
Aside from convenience considerations, both disposable and reus-
able diapers present certain health and sanitation concerns which have been
raised in the course of this study:
1. The possibility of increased skin irritation or rash associated
with the use of disposable diapers.
2. The ineffectiveness of home laundering of cloth diapers compared
to commercial laundering.
3. The health implications of disposing of single-use diapers
contaminated with urine and feces.
In order to understand the significance of diapering in the overall
health of the baby, it is important to understand the role of the.diaper

-------
in inhibiting or encouraging skin rashes. Grant, Street and Fearnow (19)
list two of the most common causes of diaper rash as: (1) Monilial or bac-
terial infection; and (2) Ammonial contact dermatitis. The diaper provides
a moist, warm environment conducive to the growth of bacteria, which may
originate from an improperly laundered diaper, from the infant's skin (es-
pecially if the skin is not cleansed following defecation), and from the
excreted stools and urine. Other factors in rash development are laundry
chemical residuals in the diaper, maceration (softening of the skin by wet-
ness causing increased permeability), marked changes in skin pH, and meta-
bolic wastes in stools.
Brown and Tyson (3), in studying diaper dermatitis, found that
a 2-stage process exists in the development of dermatitis. In the first
stage, bacteria act on the urea present in urine, decomposing it into am-
monia, which is in itself irritating to the skin. The infant who is not
cleaned after defecation, not changed frequently, or who wears plastic pants
over diapers (thereby enhancing the moist, warm environment of the diaper
region) is much more susceptible to ammonia1 dermatitis.
The second stage of the process involves the secondary invasion
of already-irritated skin by pathogenic bacteria. Brown isolated Staphy-
lococcus aureus and Beta hemolytic streptococci (both known pathogens) in
babies with rash, but only one incident of Staph aureus and two incidents
of Streptococci were found in the babies without rash.
Thus, bacteria in the diaper region contribute to dermatitis by
producing ammonia and also by invading the site of primary infections caused
See comment Appendix D, page 39.

-------
by the ammonia. Both the disposable and cloth diaper can produce conditions
favorable to bacterial growth; however, actual hygienic practices of changing
the baby frequently and cleaning him adequately are still of major import-
ance.
1. The Possibility of Increased Skin Rash Associated with the
Use of Disposable Diapers; A 1968 study performed by Silverburg and Glaser
(70) at the Long Island Jewish Hospital showed that the incidence of diaper
rash was significantly greater with disposable diapers than with cloth dia-
pers* Two plastic-backed disposable diapers and one paper-backed disposable
were compared with cloth diapers in the newborn and premature nurseries*
Results are presented in Table 7.
The results indicate that in all cases except one, cloth showed
a statistically significant improvement in protecting against diaper rash
over either plastic-backed or paper-backed disposables. Additionally, only
9.4 cloth diapers were used per baby per day in the newborn unit, compared
to 10.A per day for the disposables; in the premature unit, 7.8 cloth diapers
were used per baby per day, compared to 10.0 disposables. However, the authors
did not attempt to explain the results of their study nor did they postulate
any reason for the difference.
2. The Ineffectiveness of Home Diaper Laundering Compared to Com-
mercial Launderingr The effectiveness of the cloth diaper in retarding bac-
terial growth and diaper rash is based on how the diaper is laundered. Within
the home setting prescribed in this study, diapers would be laundered either
in the home (or in a self-service laundry comparable to home facilities)
or by a commercial establishment, in many cases a diaper service.

The diaper service industry has been in existence since 1932.
Through its association, the National Institute of Infant Services (NIIS),
this industry has monitored its operations through an independent medical
laboratory—Philadelphia Medical Laboratory (formerly Usona Bio-Chem Labora-
tory). The laboratory established the "Diaseptic Process," a specific method
for laundering diapers so they will meet certain standards of sanitation,
aesthetic quality, pH balance, softness, and absorbency. This process has
been considered standard in the industry, and its effectiveness is checked
by taking regular samples of commercially laundered diapers and submitting
them to the laboratory for testingo
The 100 members (representing the most active diaper services
throughout the U.S.) of NIIS must maintain .the following standards:
1. The service must submit one random sample per month, taken
from a finished package of diapers, to a specified medical laboratory. The
sample must be free of all pathogenic bacteria or fungi and may contain no
more than 20 colonies of hondisease-producing bacteria per 8 square inches
of fabric. (This compares to a standard of less than two colonies per square
inch for disposable diapers." )
2. The sample diaper must read within the range of 4.5 to 6.5
pH by the colorimetric procedure (compared to pH of 7.0 in disposables prior
to user- ).
3. The sample will be tested for zone of inhibition (bacteriostatic
effectiveness) against Staph aureus.
_!/ Results from individual disposable diaper manufacturers' continuous quality

-------
4. Diapers served to customers must be soft to the touch and free
from stiffness.
5. Diapers served to customers must be so absorbent that water
added drop by drop enters the fabric immediately.
6. Diapers served to customers must be free from stains, tears,
and excessive wear. (A package selected at random should show no greater
than 3 percent substandard diapers.)
Additionally, in 1970, NIIS established a Diaper Service Accredita-
tion Council which is now composed of two pediatricians, a public health
director, a bacteriologist, and three, industry representatives. The Council
formulated an accreditation program which requires site inspection, self-
analysis procedures, and rigorous in-plant standards in order for a service
to merit accreditation. Although less than half of the NIIS member services
are currently accredited, the Institute plans to require accreditation for
all of its members within the next 3 years. In addition to administering
the accreditation program, the Council advises the industry on new laundry
detergents, new bacteriostats and other additives to ensure their safety
and effectiveness. This monitoring is especially important in light of several
laundry components found during the 1960's to cause adverse effects on infants.
Trichloro carbunibide (TCC), a bacteriostat used in laundry softeners, was
found to produce free aniline, a known toxin, when exposed to high heat.
In premature nurseries where diapers are autoclaved, this reaction led to
the development of cyanosis and methemoglobulinemia in some infants. Another
substance, sodium pentachlorophenate,' an antimildew agent, caused two deaths
S-43
-------
and a number of cases of illness in two separate hospitals* Both of these
cases emphasize the need for careful evaluation and usage of chemicals in
laundering diapers*
Diapers can, of courae, be laundered commercially outside of a diaper
service, or by a service which is not a NIIS member. In either case, the
diaper would be processed according to the standards described in the section
on general laundering. In most instances, as discussed in this section, the
commercially laundered diaper would be washed at higher temperatures for
longer periods of time and would be more effectively rinsed than a home-
laundered diaper.
This conclusion is borne out by the Grant, Street and Fearnow study
in which the authors compared the incidence of significant diaper rash re-
ported by 1,197 mothers attending a well-baby clinic as it related to the
method of laundering (disposables, commercial diaper service, or home wash-
ing) used more than 50 percent of the time. Diapers washed by a diaper service
were associated with the lowest: incidence of diaper rash—24.4 percent. Dis-
posables showed about the same incidence as the commercially laundered cloth
diapers. However, the home-laundered diaper was associated with the signifi-
cantly greatest incidence of diaper rash, at 35.6 percent. These results
are shown in Table 8.
The authors attribute their findings to the fact that commercially
laundered diapers are virtually sterile and are thoroughly rinsed of all
chemical contaminants. Additionally, bacteriostatic agents such as bleach
and quaternpry ammonium compounds used in commercial diaper services are

diaper failed to meet the standards of the commercially washed product, as
shown in Table 9. These results confirm the fact that home laundry does not

Brown and Wilson (4) also tested the performance of home laundries
in washing diapers. Two loads of 12 soiled diapers each were soaked for 12 •
hours in water and detergent, washed in an automatic washer at 140 to 144 F
for 20 minutes, given four spray rinses, a full-water rinse for 2 minutes
at 100 F, and two additional spray rinses. Each load was then dried for 40
minutes in a home gas dryer. Results from two samples taken from each load
are shown in Table 10.

These results show much higher bacterial counts than are allowed
by NIIS diaper services (no more than two colonies per square inch).
It is important to note, however, that these bacterial counts were
not specifically correlated with the development of diaper rash in infants
wearing tested diapers. The significance of the results lies in the fact
that bacteria present in a diaper can break down urea into ammonia, a known
skin irritant which can initiate a chain reaction of rash development. But,
some factors other than bacteria can and do contribute to diaper rash develop-
ment, notably frequency of changing. The bacteria present in home-laundered
diapers should therefore be viewed as one potential cause of rash.
See comment Appendix D, page 47.
S-47
-------
Brown and Wilson also indicate that "home-washed diapers may have
a pH of 9.5" (4) or higher from improper rinsing. This compares unfavorably
to the 4.5 to 6.5 pH required by the NIIS, and the 7.0 pH reported for dispos-
ables. The higher or more alkaline pH is quite different from normal skin,
±
which has a pH of 5.5*1.5, and can in itself be an irritant.
A third study comparing home-laundered to commercially-laundered
diapers was done at the University of Illinois Medical College, for the •
American Institute of Laundering (now International Fabricare Institute) (64).
Investigators tested diapers which had been laundered in six private homes.
In five of the homes diaper processing consisted of a cold soak followed
by one hot suds and three rinses. In the sixth home, a fourth rinse was added.
Results of the home diaper laundering are shown in Table 11. As indicated,
bacterial count after the third rinse was 168,388; when the fourth rinse
was added, average count was reduced to 149,400. As shown in Table 12, com-
mercially laundered diapers, by contrast, were rendered sterile after the
third suds, to which two quarts of 1 percent sodium hypochlorite per 300-
pound load were added.
As in Brown's study, no direct correlation between diaper rash
incidence and bacterial count is made; again, it can only be assumed that
a sterile diaper is less likely to produce conditions favorable for diaper
rash development.
Jordan et al. (25) examined the effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite
in destroying Sabin type II poliovirus under household laundry conditions.
This virus, known to be resistant to many germicides, was found to be suscept-
ible to the virucidal action of sodium hypochlorite bleach, when used at the

recommended belach level of 200 ppm available chlorine. The authors note,
however, that the virus was destroyed at water temperatures of 130°F and
above without the addition of bleach; but at 110°F (the lower range of house-
hild laundry temperatures), bleach was requisite for viral destruction.
3. The Health Implications of Disposal of Single-Use Diapers Con-
taminated with Urine and Feces; As a result of increased use and subsequent
discard of disposable diapers, general concern over the public health conse-
quences of fecal matter in solid waste has increased in recent years. The
basis for this concern centers around the occurrence of bacterial and viral
pathogens in fecal matter and the potential for these pathogens to leach
into ground or surface water supplies. In evaluating the potential threat
or lack thereof inherent in land disposal of single-use diapers, one must
first assess the occurrence (numbers and types) of pathogens involved, and
secondly, the resulting effect of such conditions as measured by their ability
to survive in and leach from the landfill environment and come into contact
with human beings*
a. Occurrence of Pathogens in Disposed Diapers
Bacteria; As the subject of several fairly recent studies
(1, 11, 59), the bioload of raw residential solid waste has been shown to
contain densities of fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci in excess of
one million organisms per gram. The presence of these organisms, which are
normal inhabitants of the large intestine of man and other warm-blooded ani-
mals, is commonly assumed to indicate a strong likelihood of the presence
of other intestinal organisms which may be pathogenic. One such bacterial
pathogen which has been observed in solid waste in Salmonellae.
S-50
-------
Viruses; In addition to bacteria, raw solid waste also contains
a variety of potential human viral pathogens, the leaching source of which is
fecal matter. Investigating the occurrence of viruses as a function of typical
soiled disposable diaper load in a sanitary landfill, Peterson (59) determined
that, by wet weight, soiled disposable diapers represent 0.6 to 2.5 percent
of mixed municipal wastes Finding one-third of these diapers to contain fecal
matter at an average of 60 grams of feces per diaper, Peterson calculated
the average amount of human fecal matter in solid waste to be about 0.04
percent by wet weight. In two separate areas of the country, viruses were
detected in 15 percent and 2.9 percent of fecal samples from area A (Ohio)
in February and April, respectively, and 16.7 percent of samples from area
B (Kentucky) in July. Poliovirus 3 was found in both sampling areas, and
echovirus 2 was found in two samples from area B. The poliovirus 3 density
ranged from 16 to 1,920 plaque-forming units (PFU) per gram, with an average
of about 390 PFU per gram. Densities of the echovirus 2 (positive samples)
were 1,440 and 960 PFU per gram.
Further perspective on the occurrence and potential signific-
ance of viruses in human fecal matter is provided by Dr. John Fox, an epi-
demiologist. Based on virus watch data that he collected across the U.S.,
Dr. Fox prepared an opinion statement on the "Viral Infection Hazard of Dis-
posable Diapers" (17), the results of which are summarized in Table 13.
As shown in the table, the most common virus group likely
to occur in human feces is poliovirus. However, the health threat posed by
these viruses is minimized by typically low virulence of vaccine-derived

strains which presently make up practically all of existing poliovirus flora
in the U.S., and by the probably high prevalence of immunity of the popula-
tion* The nonpolio enterovirus group is diverse and potentially widespread
in occurrence in fecal matter. Furthermore, type-specific immunity is vari-
able and tends toward the low end of probability, thereby presenting a seem-
ingly great health threat potential. Fortunately, medical experience indicates
that only extremely infrequently are these viruses the cause of serious ill-
ness. In virus watch studies conducted by Dr. Fox, 50 percent of all detected
infections were subclinical and 80 percent of the related illnesses were
minor respiratory. The overall potential health threat posed by this group
of virus is therefore difficult to assess, but is certainly less than severe.
Type A hepatitis virus is a relatively benign pathogen causing temporary
disability and to which there is a high probability of immunity in the popula-
tion. Furthermore, the probability for its occurrence in soiled diapers is
quite low. On the other hand, Type B hepatitis virus is a tremendously virulent
pathogen to which there is a low probability of immunity in the population.
The health significance for this virus is, however, again minimized by the
extremely low probability of its occurrence in soiled diapers. Adenoviruses
are of little health concern because of the benign character of diseases
they may cause in humans and the relatively low probability of their occur-
rence in soiled diapers.
b. Fate of Pathogens in the Landfill Environment; In the above
discussion, it has been shown that human bacterial and viral pathogens can
occur in and be isolated from solid waste, and that one potentially signifi-
cant source of such pathogens is human fecal matter discarded in disposable
S-53
-------
diapers. However, to gain a better appreciation for the extent of the health
threat, it is necessary to look at the fate of microorganisms in the land-
fill environment and the extent to which viable organisms leach from this
environment.
Bacteria; Blannon and Peterson (1) investigated the survival
of fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci in a full-scale sanitary landfill
over an 11-month leachate production period utilizing mixed municipal solid
waste. The results of this investigation revealed that high densities of
fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci occurred in leachates during the first
2-month leaching period, with a rapid die-off of fecal coliforms noted 3
months after placing the fill. Fecal streptococci persisted past the 3-month
sampling period. Furthermore, the 18-inch clay soil lining underneath the
solid waste was observed to offer poor filtration action on the bacteria.
In view of these findings, the authors concluded "...that leachate contamina-
tion, if not controlled, may add a pollutional load to the recreational and
groundwater supplies and present a risk to the public using these-waters."
In an attempt to determine the effect on leachate bioload,
Cooper et al. (7) added fecally contaminated diapers to a simulated sanitary
landfill. Overall, large numbers of bacteria of potential sanitary signifi-
cance were present.
However, the high background levels of fecal coliforms and
fecal streptococci made it impossible to measure the impact of the addition
of feces and diapers. The low ratio of fecal coliform to fecal streptococci
in freshly collected and ground refuse indicated animal waste (cats, dogs,
etc.,) to be the most predominant source of these indicator organisms.
S-54
-------
Further information on bacterial decay rates is provided by
Engelbrecht (11). Fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci and Salmonellae typhi-
murium was added to whole leachate at two different temperatures (22 C and
55°C) and at two different pH values (5.3 and 7.0). Persistence of enteric
bacteria in leachate was found to be less at the higher temperature and lower
pH value. The order of stability in the leachate at 55°C at both pH values
was: S.. typhimurium > Fecal streptococci » Fecal coliforms.
, Viruses; In a continuation of the same study cited above,
Cooper et al. also assessed the presence of viruses in leachate under normal
conditions and with the addition of fecally contaminated diapers. The dosage
of feces added was approximately 0.02 percent by weight, roughly equivalent
to the amount found by Peterson in the previously mentioned study. Virus
recovered from the leachate of the inoculated fill amounted to 150 and 2,310
PFU per gallon during the second and third weeks of leachate production,
respectively. The control landfill produced 380 PFU per gallon of leachate
the third week only.
Noteworthy here is the fact that in each case where viruses
were detected in leachate, the associated landfill had been brought to field
capacity (saturation point) over a 3-week period to simulate exaggerated
rainfall conditions. No viruses were detected in leachate from fills brought
to field capacity gradually over a 15-week period to simulate normal rainfall
conditions for the area.
After the third week of production, all samples were negative.
Since the control was also positive, the authors concluded that the addition
S-55
-------
of viruses through human feces had no discemable effect on the recovery
of viruses.
At the termination of the experiment, the contents of the
control fill and two fills to which soiled disposable diapers had been added
were removed and assayed for the presence of viable viruses. No viruses were
recovered from these materials, indicating that both indigenous and added
viruses did not survive at detectable levels through the test period*
In a study by Sobsey et al. (72) the survival and fate of
two enteroviruses (polioviruses type 1 and echovirus type 7) in simulated
sanitary landfills was examined. After inoculating the solid waste contents
of the fills with large quantitites of the above enteroviruses, the fills
were saturated with water over a 3-1/2 week period to produce leachate, which
was then analyzed for viruses. Although 80 percent of the total leachate
produced by each fill over the test period was so analyzed, no viruses were
detected. Furthermore, analysis of the refuse itself following the conclu-
sion of the leachate analysis revealed no detectable viruses.
In part, this outcome is explained by the tendency of viruses
to adsorb onto components of the solid waste and thus resist leaching. A
further explanation lies in the determined natural toxicity of the leachate
itself. The leachate was evaluated to determine the extent of its toxicity
to viruses. More than 95 percent of inoculated viruses were inactivated
over a 2-week exposure period at 20°C and more than 99 percent were inacti-
vated within 6 days at 37°C.
S-56
-------
The results of the above investigation were duplicated by
Engelbrecht (11) in a similar experiment, using poliovirus, reovirus and
Rous sarcoma to seed the simulated landfills. No viruses were recovered from
leachate samples collected throughout the 76-day test period. As was the
case above, inactivation studies showed the. leachate to be toxic to viruses.

fecal material in soiled disposable diapers may represent as CT

without diapers is extremely high, due mainly to the presence of fecal matter
from domestic animals. This source also contains large numbers of microor-
ganisms of potential sanitary significance.
Due to this large naturally-occurring bioload in solid waste,

However, it has been clearly demonstrated that viable bacteria can and do
leach from the landfill in large numbers, thereby representing a source of
contamination to ground and/or surface water supplies and a possible health
threat to anyone using this water as a potable water supply. Unlike bacteria,
experiments measuring virus occurrence in leachate have revealed conflicting

In view of the lack of consistency in the published
literature on the topic, no clear understanding of the public health threat
represented by viruses in solid waste can be reached.
With regard to public health significance of disposing of
fecally contaminated disposable diapers in the solid waste stream, conclu-
sions are even more difficult to reach. However, to the extent that such
material does contain microorganisms which may leach into water supplies,
some potential for a public health threat to the consumers of that water
may exist. However, the actual bioload contribution from this source is yet
unclear, as in the relationship between degrees of contamination of the water
supply and the relationship to disease development. ^saa5*:g%^Jtr3C^f jjtg:V;.g r****

Based on the foregoing data, several conclusions can be for-
mulated:
1. Although disposable diapers were associated with a greater
incidence of diaper rash than hospital-laundered cloth diapers in one study,
they performed as well as commercially laundered diapers in another study.
On the basis of these conflicting results, no definitive statement can be
made regarding the relative effects of the two types of diapers in inhibit-
ing rash development.
2. The average home-laundered diaper is inferior to both the
disposable and commercially laundered diaper in terms of sterility and pH
balance. Although no precise relationship exists between bacterial count
and type of bacteria present in a diaper and the development of diaper rash,
bacteria do contribute to the incidence of rash. An N1IS diaper service un-
doubtedly provides the superior laundering method, with its maximum allow-
able count of 20 colonies per square inch. A regular commercial laundry,
while probably not meeting this exacting standard, would likely produce a
more sterile diaper than a home laundry due to higher wash temperatures,
longer cycles, and types of additives used. Disposables also meet a high
standard of sanitation, with less than two colonies of bacteria per square
inch; and they provide a favorable pH balance averaging 7.0.
V. SHEETS
Health and sanitation concerns relating to institutional bedding
are among the most significant within the scope of this study. Not only are

S-59
-------
linens subjected to a greater degree of contamination in the hospital or
nursing home setting (the primary institutional environments being considered
here), but the users of these linens tend to be much more susceptible to in-
fection than is the general populace* Because of these considerations, bedding
for institutional applications must: meet rigorous standards of cleanliness
and sanitation to ensure that its role in cross-infection is kept to an absolute
minimum.
The patient bed sheet, which is the focus of this investigation,
is a virtual repository of bacteria. Several studies have emphasized the
significance of skin desquamation in spreading microorganisms; the average
human desquamates an entire layer of skin over a 1- to 2-day period, which
is in large part deposited onto the bed sheet when the patient is hospitalized
or otherwise bedridden. These skin scales, as established in a study by Davis
and Noble, harbor a variety of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Additionally,
the patient may excrete urine or feces onto the sheet, or he may have wounds
which produce pus and/or blood. All of these factors interact to render the
bed sheet contaminated, and thus the object of intense scrutiny in evaluating
institutional standards of health and sanitation.
Greene (20) states two general contamination control objectives
within the hospital:
1. "(To) minimize the microbial contamination level of the environ-
ment by curtailing dissemination of contaminants from soiled and used fabrics.
2. (To) minimize the probability of microbial transmission from
infected reservoirs to susceptible hosts by destroying or removing microbes
on used linen before it is reissued to patients and personnel."
S-60
-------
The first concern relates primarily to linen handling—making and stripping
of patient beds, transport of linens to, from and within the hospital laundry-
while the second issue focuses on the effectiveness of laundering techniques
in destroying bacteria.
Greene notes that improper linen handling is a major cause of air-
borne contamination; he cites studies which have shown significant increases
in bacterial counts in areas where soiled linens were being shaken, removed
from laundry chutes, and stripped from patient beds. As discussed in an earlier
section, this type of agitation represents a major factor in the .release of
microorganisms from fabrics*
A 1971 study by Litsky and Litsky compared bacterial shedding dur-
ing bed-stripping of reusable and disposable linens in a nursing home environ-
ment. The Litskys' work was based on earlier studies which had concluded that
"measures adopted to stop fiber shedding from cotton goods must...assume a
high priority in the reduction of the hospital loads to which the debilitated
hospital patient is exposed," (28, page 33). The Litskys compared, the conven-
tional reusable cotton sheets to a newer disposable sheeting material to
determine whether the airborne particles generated during bed-making could
be minimized. Air samples were collected: (1) prior to bed-making; (2) during
bed-making; and (3) during bed-stripping, in an actual patient room housing
four ambulatory patients. Additionally, air samples were taken in a laboratory
chamber where clean and soiled reusable and disposable linens were shaken
to release adherent particles.
S-61
-------
Tables 14 through 17 present the results of these tests* As shown
in Table 14, airborne bacterial counts of viable organisms resulting from
bed-stripping of disposable sheets were approximately 86 percent less than
those taken during stripping of reusables; during bed-making, counts for
disposables were 60 percent less.. Counts of nonviable particles are shown
in Table 15; again, counts were markedly reduced for disposables* In labora-
tory chamber tests, the disposables again showed significantly lower counts
of viable microorganisms and nonviable particles, on three different types
of linen articles. Table 17 indicates that even the clean reusables shed
2 to 3 times more (nonviable) particles than did the clean disposables. The
authors venture the following suppositions to explain their findings: "(1)
The surface of the disposable linen is smoother and thereby produces fewer
particles of lint which may become airborne vectors bearing microorganisms;
and (2) the weave of the disposable fabric is such that the pore size is
smaller than cotton and thereby entraps more microbes," (Page 34).
Repeated attempts during the course of this study to elicit addi-
i
tional data regarding sanitation of disposable sheets for patient beds were
largely unsuccessful. In the absence of data from the appropriate associa-
tion and from manufacturers, we can only observe that, although disposable
bed sheets may have an advantage over reusables in reduced bacterial shedding,
sufficient information is not available to formulate general conclusions
regarding their sanitation.
Turning to reusable sheets, it is obvious that both of Greene's
concerns are relevant. Not only must they be properly laundered so that bac-
teria are destroyed, but they must be handled in such a way as to prevent

recontamination. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH)
requires that hospitals launder their linens at a temperature of 160° for
a total exposure time of 25 minutes. At this temperature and time, virtually
all pathogenic bacteria are killed without the necessity of using chemical
additives; however, many hospital laundries, such as one visited in Kansas
City, Missouri, do employ bleach, sour and softener, and some add a bacterio-
static agent as well. Hospitals are also required to have separate rooms
for clean and soiled linens, so that bacteria released during the sorting
process will not contaminate clean linens which are being folded and loaded
onto carts.
The significance of water temperature in the laundering of hospital
linens is verified by a study performed by Walter and Schillinger in 1975
(80). As part of their investigation, bed linens from the isolation section
of a hospital were checked for bacterial counts before and after laundering,
with the laundering process employing a range of water temperatures. Table
18 shows the results of five of these tests.

The exceedingly high bacterial count in Run 4 (prelaundering) was
the result of a patient's leg wound draining onto the linen; however, even
Q
at the relatively low temperature of 110 , the postlaundering count was re-
duced to approximately 4 organisms per square centimeter. Overall, Walter
and Schillinger found that none of the water temperatures they employed gave
consistently adequate results in terms of bacterial destruction. They recom-
mend a water temperature of 140° for 10 to 13 minutes, followed by drying, for
linens used in health care facilities. They also note that bleach provides
an added degree of safety.
Recontamination is also of concern in the consideration of reusable
hospital linen. Although sheets may be rendered free of all pathogens by
the laundering process, they may be recontaminated during subsequent stages
of drying, ironing, folding, and distributing. The study by Church and Leosli
(6), which was referenced in the chapter on general sanitation concerns,
investigated recontamination problems in a hospital laundry as well as in
a commercial laundry. The findings were quite similar: fabrics became re-
contaminated during water extraction in the spin dryer and during the fold-
ing process, with high bacterial counts found near the sorting table, near
the extractor at the end of the extraction process and near the dryer and
folding tabl'.. As noted in the earlier reference to Church and Leosli's
study, these recontamination problems are related to laundry layout; measures
such as improved ventilation and screening of areas showing high bacterial
counts are recommended to decrease bacterial redeposition.
S-66
-------
In Che investigation of sheets in the institutional setting, as
well as the examination of other cloth products within the scope of this
study, it becomes obvious that adequate sanitation can be achieved, given
the proper elements of laundry technique, handling methods and prevention
of recontamination. Undoubtedly, because of the regulations of the JCAH,
hospital linens achieve a higher and more consistent degree of sanitation
than any of he other products, with the possible exception of diapers laun-
dered by a diaper service. This emphasis is reassuring in light of the neces-
sity for providing a relatively aseptic environment for the hospital patient.
VI. DISPOSABLE AND REUSABLE FOODSERVICEl/ WARE
A. Introduction
Public health personnel have long been concerned with the role
of improperly cleaned eating utensils in the spread of communicable disease.
Early evidence supporting this concern was presented by Ravenel and Smith
in 1909 (26). Their investigation of a typhoid fever outbreak implicated
eating utensils as the link in the chain of transmission between the carrier
host and the affected population.
In 1919 and 1920, Gumming (26) and his associates reported the
results of their extensive epidemiological investigations into utensil/disease
relationships. Looking at influenza among Army troops, patrons of commercial
eating establishments, and influenza-pneumonia occurrences in institutions,
these investigators amassed a significant amount of evidence indicating im-
properly sanitized food utensils as a leading avenue of transmission of
_!/ The term "foodservice," when used as an adjective, is considered to be
one word, in accordance with contemporary usage. However, titles of
references and quotations cited in this section often utilize the orig-
inal two word or hyphenated format.

-------
sputumborne and intestinal infections. In 1933, MacDonald and Freeborn (26)
concluded a review of their own and others'work in this area by making the
following points:
1. "There is undoubted evidence of the transmission of some of
the communicable diseases through the medium of improperly disinfected eat-
ing utensils in private homes and public eating places;
2. There is lack of appreciation on the part of the public of the
possible danger of disease transmission through improperly sterilized eating
utensils;
3. The sanitation of many restaurants, hotels, etc., is far below'
the accepted standard of cleanliness and safety; and
4. One of the best means of preventing many of the sputum-borne
and intestinal infections both sporadically and epidemically is by means
i
of proper sterilization."
As a result of these and other similar findings, the U.S. Public
I
Health Service was prompted to draft regulations to govern the washing, stor-
age and use of foodservice utensils. After field trials, this ordinance
and code was revised and published in 1940 under the title Ordinance and
Code Regulating Eating and Drinking Establishments—Recommended by the U.S.
Public Health Service. The code, subsequently revised in 1943 and again in
1962, has been adopted by the majority of the states and over 1,000 county
and municipal health jurisdictions. A proposed revision, which would change
the method for recording sanitation violations and establish a new scoring
system for classifying restaurant sanitation, was published in the October
1974 Federal Register.
S-68

This section of the report will examine the standards governing
foodservice ware, both reusable and disposable, and then will present the
results of the literature review undertaken to determine the compliance of
the products specified within the scope of this study (paper and plastic
cups and plates, melamine and china plates, and glassware).
B. Standards
1. U.S. Public Health Service "Model Food Service Sanitation Or-
dinance and Code"; As an integral part of the foodservice industry, reus-
able and disposable utensils are regulated by certain standards to ensure
their sanitation. The most significant standard is the U.S. Public Health
Service "Model Food Service Sanitation Ordinance and Code (1962)." This stan-
dard was established as a guideline for states and municipalities to follow
in their regulation of the foodservice industry. Currently, 44 of the 50
states have adopted this Model Ordinance as the basis for their sanitation
codes. In turn, the states recommend the ordinance to municipalities as a
guideline in the establishment of local standards. Although municipalities
are not required to adopt the ordinance, their standards must be at least
as^ stringent. Additionally, the states may receive assistance in regulating
foodservice establishments through the Food Service Sanitation Program (FSSP),
a voluntary, cooperative service provided by FDA. Generally, the states re-
tain jurisdiction over nursing homes, interstate carriers, and areas not
governed by a municipal or local health authority; additionally, the state
health agencies act in an advisory capacity to the municipalities within
their boundaries.

The PHS Model Ordinance, as a generally accepted sanitation code,
provides specific regulations relating to foodservice ware, both reusable
and disposable* The relevant provisions of the Ordinance are as follows:
Section D; Food Equipment and Utensils
1. Sanitary Design, Construction, and Installation of Equip-
ment and Utensils. This subpart provides that "all. ..utensil's
shall be so designed and of such material and workmanship
as to be smooth, easily cleanable, and durable, and shall
be in good repair; and the food-contact surfaces of such
...utensils shall, in addition, be easily accessible for
cleaning, nontoxic, corrosion resistant, and relatively
nonabsorbent." It also specifies that "single-service arti-
cles shall be made from nontoxic materials." This regulation
is augmented by the FDA's Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,
which governs the composition of food packaging materials
under its food additive provision.
The Ordinance provides the following explanation for its
cleanability standard: "Items of equipment and utensils
which are poorly designed and constructed, and which are
not kept in good repair, are difficult to clean thoroughly
and are apt to harbor accumulations of food and other soil
which supports bacterial growth." The durability standard
is also expanded to include the following: "All...utensils
shall be so durable under normal conditions and operations
as to be resistant to denting, buckling, pitting, chipping,
S-70
-------
crazing and excessive wear; and shall be capable of with-
standing repeated scrubbing, scouring, and the corrosive
action of cleaning and sanitizing agents and food with
which they come in contact."
2. Cleanliness of Equipment and Utensils. The second subpart
provides that:
* All eating and drinking utensils shall be thoroughly
cleaned and sanitized after each usage.
* After cleaning and prior to use, all food-contact surfaces
of equipment and utensils shall be so stored and handled
as to be protected from contamination.
* All single-service articles shall be stored, handled,
and dispensed in a sanitary manner, and shall be used
only once.
* Foodservice establishments which do not have adequate
and effective facilities for cleaning and sanitizing
utensils shall use single-service articles.
The Ordinance provides the following explanation for its
cleaning and sanitizing regulations: "Regular, effective
cleaning and sanitizing of equipment, utensils, and work
surfaces minimizes the chances for contaminating food dur-
ing preparation, storage, and serving, and for the trans-
mission of disease organisms to customers and employees.
Effective cleaning will remove soil and prevent the ac-
cumulation of food residues which may decompose or support
S-71
-------
the rapid development of food-poisoning organisms or toxins*
Application of effective sanitizing procedures destroys
those disease organisms which may be present on equipment
and utensils after cleaning, and thus prevents the transfer
of such organisms to customers or employees, either directly
through tableware, such as glasses, cups, and flatware,
or indirectly through the food*"
"Improper storage of equipment and utensils, subsequent
to cleaning and sanitizing, exposes them to contamination
and can nullify the benefits of these operations* Accord-
ingly, storage and handling of cleaned or sanitized equip-
ment and utensils, and single-service articles, must be
such as to adequately protect these items from splash,
dust, and other contaminating materials."
Subpart 2 describes the procedures considered adequate
in washing and sanitizing utensils* The initial washing
cycle involves preflushing or prescraping to remove excess
food particles, washing in suitable detergent either by
hand or by machine, and sanitizing by one of the following
methods:
a. Immersion for at least 1/2 minute in clean hot water
at a temperature of at least 170°F.
b. Immersion for at least 1 minute in a sanitizing solu-
tion containing:
See comments Appendix J, pages 38-39.
S-72
-------
. At least 50 ppm of available chlorine at a temperature
not less than 75 F; or
. At least 12.5 ppm of available iodine in a solution
having a pH not higher than 5.0 and a temperature .
of not less than 75°F; or
. Other sanitizing solution determined by the health
authority to be equivalent in strength to 50 ppm of
chlorine.
Other types of machines, devices, facilities and procedures
may be approved if they provide bactericidal effectiveness
"as demonstrated by an average plate count per utensil
surface examined, of not more than 100 colonies."
Specific regulations are promulgated for manual washing,
such as the requirement for three sinks for washing, rins-
ing and sanitizing utensils; and for machine washing, in-
cluding the stipulation that wash-water temperature shall
be at least 140 F (160 F in single-tank conveyor machines),
with 180°F water at the manifold for sanitization in the
final rinse (if hot water sanitization is used).
This subpart also provides regulations regarding storage
of single-service articles, they must be stored in closed
cartons or containers and handled and dispensed in such
a way as to prevent contamination".
See comments Appendix J, pages 26-27
S-73
-------
The health departments of the six states not using the PHS Model
Ordinance were contacted during this study to determine what regulations
they have adopted for foodservice ware. Only three states--Nebraska, Iowa
and Maine--responded to these inquiries* In these states, foodservice regula-
tions are basically similar to those of the Model Ordinance, except that
Iowa has not established standards for single service ware*
2. National Sanitation Foundation Standards; In addition to the
mandatory standards adopted by local governments in accordance with the Model
Ordinance, many manufacturers of foodservice ware and equipment voluntarily
comply with standards established by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).
The Public Health Service, in order to encourage uniformity of standards,
cooperates wth NSF and other organizations in the development of consistent
criteria. Two NSF standards of special interest in this study are NSF Standard
No. 36 for Dinnerware and NSF Standard No. 3 for Commercial Spray-Type Dish-
washing Machines.
The NSF Dinnerware Standard relates to new, reusable dinnerware
intended for use in foodservice establishments. It sets forth basic require-
ments of cleanability, durability, shape and contour much like the standards
found in the USPHS Model Ordinance. However, NSF establishes a testing pro-
cedure for determining cleanability and durability to which dinnerware must
be subjected in order to receive the NSF seal. Durability is determined by
exposing the dinnerware to 150 cycles of normal "use environment," including
washing, rinsing, sanitizing, stacking, and knife cutting, and then testing
its cleanability. Cleanability following exposure must be not less than 98.5
percent of initial cleanability, tested by laboratory methods involving
S-74
-------
precise soiling techniques, consistent washing procedures, and counting
of soil residuals by the use of radioisotopes.
The NSF Standard for Commercial Dishwashing Machines designates
water temperature requirements} flow pressures, prewashing procedures, stack-
ing techniques and other variables for the different types of commercial
dishwashing machines on the market. The Standard basically follows the Model
Ordinance in its temperature specifications and related factors in achieving
acceptable levels of sanitation for permanent ware.
3. Single Service Standards; The single, service industry has its
own policing mechanism--the Food Protection Laboratory of the Syracuse Re-
search Corporation. The Laboratory has been testing single service cups since
1947, and plates, since 1967, utilizing methods specified in Public Health
Service Publication 1465, Fabrication of Single Service Containers and Closures
for Milk and Milk Products. Both the laboratory and its testing personnel
are certified by the USPHS, under FDA.
Single service container manufacturers routinely submit'product
samples to the Food Protection Laboratory, where their conformance with the
bacteriological standards of Publication 1465 is tested. Products may not
show evidence of coliform bacteria, and no more than one colony of noncoli-
form bacteria is allowable per square centimeter of food or beverage contact
surface (50 colonies per 8 square inches).
C. Compliance of Reusable Foodservice Ware (Permanent Ware)
As is the case with cloth products, the major health concerns relat-
ing to permanent foodservice ware are its cleanability and the effectiveness
S-75
-------
of washing procedures in producing sanitary cups, plates and glassware. And,
like fabric laundering, dishwashing encompasses a wide range of variables,
including water temperature, chemical additives, handling techniques and
the degree of competence exhibited by personnel* The history of foodservice
sanitation has been summarized in "Single Use Cups and Plates: A Review of
the Available Literature," (26) a brief synopsis of which follows:
Since the early 1900's, when disease transmission was first linked
to unsanitary utensils, the literature has addressed virtually all of these
variables* In the 1940*s, investigators noted that ignorance among foodservice
workers as to proper washing times, temperature's and detergents resulted in
sanitation problems* By the late 1940's, surveys of dishwashing practices in
I
commercial establishments continued to show high bacterial counts on washed
foodservice ware; however, at that time many facilities were still employing
manual washing procedures, while in cases where machines were being used,
workers often operated these machines improperly. Kleinfeld and Buchbinder
concluded at this time that "satisfactory dishwashing practice lies in con-
version to machine and the intelligent operation of this satisfactory equip-
ment."
In 1950, "Minimum Requirements for Effective Machine Dishwashing"
were developed by the Committee on Sanitary Engineering and Environment of
the National Research Council* The Committee set a standard of less than
100 microorganisms per utensil surface, which they believed could be consis-
tently attained through current dishwashing methods* (This standard has been
continued through the USPHS Model Ordinance.)
S-76
-------
Within the institutional setting, inadequacies in foodservice ware
sanitizing practices have also been found to relate to poor processing techniques
rather than to the type of ware or the equipment available to clean and sani-
tize it. Wehrle (32) reiterated the reliability of proper machine dishwashing
in his study of "Food Service Procedures on Communicable Disease Wards,"
in which he states that disposables, though used for convenience, are not
necessary (even for patients with highly infectious diseases) "since the
usual mechanical dishwasher, properly maintained and operated, will remove
hazardous microorganisms likely to be found on any eating utensil," (Page
466). Investigators such as Litsky, Lloyd, Jopke and Hass in the late 1960's
and early 1970*s reemphasize the problems of poor sanitation techniques among
hospital foodservice workers, as well as improper environmental exposure
of clean utensils.
The preceding synopsis suggests that the sanitation of foodservice
ware has remained an active concern of health professionals over the years.
In evaluating the sanitary status of permanent foodservice ware, three major
foci of discussion emerge:
1. The cleanability of the permanent ware surface; i.e., its re-
sistance to cracking, scratching and chipping, all of which render the product
less amenable to thorough cleaning;
2* The effectiveness of dishwashing practices; i.e., the efficiency
of machines, water temperatures used, detergents added and the competence
of machine operators;
3. Handling and storage of dishes after washing; i.e., impacts
of airborne contaminants and contamination from the soiled hands of hospital
S-77
-------
personnel* Also involved in handling is the possibility of breakage of china
and glassware•
The following sections of this report will address each of these
factors and will present the results of the numerous studies which have in-
vestigated permanent ware sanination.
a* Surface Cleanability; The issue of cleanability was most
significant in the 1950's, when reusable plastic foodservice ware was initially
being marketed. Whereas china had been the dominant dinnerware product for
centuries, the new plastics were a relatively unknown entity which were closely
scrutinized to determine their comparability to chinaware.
China has a very hard, nonporous, nonabsorbent, and highly
durable surface which is easily cleanable. In a 1953 study, Ridenour and
Annbruster (63) compared the cleanability of china to that of plastic (type
not specified). They found char. 98 to 99 percent and over of various types
of test bacteria could be removed from the china surfaces, while plastic
showed only a 56 to 84 percent rate of bacteria removal. China surfaces also
provided a high degree of cleanability after a period of natural wear and
in the presence of a food film buildup, while plastic performed much less
favorably in these two areas. Presumably, the surfaces of the early plastic
dishes, unlike today's plastic utensils, were softer and more susceptible
to scratching, scoring and deterioration through normal usage, thus reducing
their degree of cleanability.
Mailman et al. (33) found no significant differences between
melamine and vitreous china in cleanability, bacterial survival, and staining.
See comments Appendix J. pages 31-33.
S-78
-------
Mailman's findings are consistent with the current status of the two products*
Refinements in the composition of melamine have resolved early cleanability
problems. The manufacturers of 99 percent and over of all melamine currently
marketed in the United States comply with the NSF Dinnerware Standard.— As
previously described, this standard specifies that permanent ware must be
able to withstand rigorous testing of its durability, cleanability, shape
and contour.
In light of this fact, early studies indicting plastic perma-
nent ware can no longer be considered relevant, and melamine should now be
viewed as equivalent to china in surface cleanability.
b. Effectiveness of Washing and Sanitizing Procedures; The
effectiveness of washing and sanitizing procedures for permanent ware is
summarized by Mailman in his study of "Sanitation with Modern Detergents,"
(32) "Any discussion of cleaning and sanitizing must be prefaced by comment-
ing upon personnel...A cleaning procedure is no better than the worker. No
matter how good the cleaning agent is, its usefulness will depend .entirely
upon how the worker uses it—the concentration--the time of application—
the amount of brushing—collectively spell the degree of cleaning attained.
The cleaning attained is determined by the worker," (32, Page 54). Thus, the
human factor is ultimately of far greater significance than are the washing
and sanitizing procedures themselves. Although there is a trend toward mechani-
zation of detergent dispensing and other elements within the total process,
human variables still play a role in utensil sanitation.

-------
With this understanding, it is important to present briefly
the factors which contribute to the washing and sanitizing of foodservice
ware:
(1) Preflushing or Prescraping: This action is usually pro-
vided by water pressure during a prerinse cycle, which removes the gross
soil and excess food particles, thus assisting in the actual washing process*
(2) Water Temperature; Maximum soil removal appears to occur
at temperatures from 130 to 140 F. Lower temperatures tend not to remove
fats, and higher temperatures can cook proteins, causing them to adhere to
utensil surfaces. Higher temperatures (170 or above) are, of course, required
in the final rinse for sanitation.
(3) Chemical Detergents; The detergent supplements the action
of the water and enhances removal of the grease film left by fats. Types
and amounts of detergents should be selected in accordance with water com-
position, and detergent solutions should be maintained with a minimum of
suspended soil, so as to prevent redeposition of bacteria on cleaned utensils.
(4) Rinsing/Sanitizing; This last step can be accomplished
with hot water at 170 or above or with chemicals. The latter method is ef-
fective only if the dishes have been thoroughly cleaned, since sanitizing
agents cannot penetrate food particles or food film (32).
As discussed in the previous section on foodservice standards,
certain portions of the foregoing process are closely regulated by health
agencies. Though the type and amount of detergent and precise wash water
temperature are not specified in the Model Ordinance, sanitization procedures
S-80
-------
are clearly defined and, of course, require proper preparation of the utensils
through washing so that sanitization will be effective*
Despite the existence of fairly standardized washing and sani-
tizing procedures and of the regulatory activity supplied through FSSP, the
Model Ordinance, and state and local health agencies, concern continues to
exist over the degree of compliance of foodservice establishments with these
procedures and regulations* The major study of restaurant compliance encount-
ered during the course of this investigation was undertaken by the General
Accounting Office in 1974 (61). At GAO's request, the Food and Drug Administra-
tion inspected, from January through March 1974, 185 restaurants selected
at random from 14,736 restaurants in nine metropolitan cities. Results were
recorded on the Food Service Establishment Inspection Report, based on the
regulations stipulated within the FDA Model Ordinance. Sample results were
projected to apply to the 14,736 restaurants in the original inventory. Over-
all, 89.8 percent were considered to be "inadequate," and thus, according
to the GAO, "insanitary."
The term "inadequate," as defined in the study, means that
"Significant public health violations exist. Restaurants could be operating
under conditions where food may have become contaminated with filth or rend-
ered injurious to health. Deficiencies should be corrected immediately."-
In its response to the GAO Report, the National Restaurant
Association (NRA) (49) points out that: (1) The sample upon which the survey
_!/ It is important to note that a restaurant can exhibit many violations
not related to foodservice ware; e.g., insect or rodent infestation,
improper refrigeration, etc.
S-81
-------
is based is not distributed proportionately to the distribution of the total
estimated universe; e.g., in city E, the total inventory of restaurants is
8,927, or 60.6 percent of the estimated universe (14,736), whereas the sample
size for city E was only 35, or 18.9 percent of total sample size (185).
While the sample within each city may be considered representative of res-
taurant conditions in that particular city, it is not valid to total the
samples and project an overall percentage of restaurants exhibiting "insani-
tary" conditions.— The term "insanitary" is used synonymously with the word
"inadequate." Although the study did find a majority of restaurants sampled
in each city to be "inadequate," it does not necessarily follow that they
are unsanitary. By the GAQ's own definition, these restaurants "could be"
operating under conditions potentially injurious to human health. The dis-
tinction must be made, as it has throughout this report, between the potential
for health problems and the existence of definably pathogenic conditions*
I
Again, there is no clear relationship between "inadequate" foodservice sani-
tation and an attendant threat to the public health.
Although the GAO study should not, in light of the preceding
discussion, be interpreted as a flawless indictment of restaurant sanitation,
its findings in regard to sanitation of foodservice ware are noteworthy for
the purposes of the present investigation. Table 19 shows the percentage
of the total restaurants sampled, exhibiting violations related to foodser-
vice ware.
JL/ This analysis of the statistical sampling procedure was confirmed by con-
sultations with two MRI statisticians.

Source: "Report to the Congress by the Comptroller General of the United

As shown in the table, the major violations (involving more
than half the restaurants sampled) relate to inadequate facilities for wash-
ing and sanitizing equipment and utensils, inadequate storage and handling
of utensils and equipment; and inadequate storage, dispensing and handling
of single service items. (The latter problem will be addressed in a later
section on single service ware.) Since most facilities complied with the
requirements regarding clean water, proper water temperature and adequate
detergents, the assumption can be made that the deficiencies centered around
the design and/or layout of dishwashing machines and the human variables
previously mentioned.
S-83
-------
The implications of these violations are difficult to assess.
While 54 percent of the restaurants were reported as having inadequate wash-
ing and sanitizing facilities, only 28 percent showed failure to comply with
the requirement that tableware be sanitized. This inconsistency would indi-
cate, once again, that the ultimate level of sanitation of foodservice ware
in commercial establishments is dependent upon a wide range of variables,
which cannot be fully addressed through the vehicle of health inspection
reports•
The GAO, however, implies that these violations contribute
substantially to the "100,000 persons (who) became ill from foodborne dis-
eases contracted in restaurants during 1970," (Page 1). This statistic, cred-
ited to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), disagrees with the actual CDC
report (16) which shows a total of 24,448 persons becoming ill in 1970 as a re-
sult of 371 outbreaks, 114 of which occurred in foodservice establishments*
Furthermore, very little information exists on the numbers and types of
microorganisms typically found on serviceware utensils in foodservice estab-
lishments after washing.
Relating to the practical relationship between the sanitary
condition of machine-washed utensils and the associated public health threat,
Dr. Marcus Harowitz of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta offered
the opinion that "the inoculum count of microorganisms left on foodservice
ware after washing would likely be too low to cause disease," (52). However,
the'entire area of dose/response relationships between pathogenic organisms
and disease is poorly understood and little documented.
See comments Appendix J. pages 27-30,

See comments Appendix J. pages 30-31,
S-84
-------
Although it is accepted fact, even by the NRA, that there
are problems in achieving total sanitation of foodservice ware in commercial
foodservice establishments, inadequacies such as were found in the GAD study
cannot,be directly related to disease transmission. However, in the normal
tradition of protective public health measures, precautions are taken to
protect and preserve the public health whenever there is even a suspected
potential for harm*
Another area in which foodservice ware has been studied is
the use of beverage glasses in hotels and motels* Dr. Bailus Walker of the
Environmental Health Administration undertook a 4-year bacteriological study
of such glasses (78), and found that over 90 percent were unacceptable fron
the standpoint of bacteriological and aesthetic standards. The bacteriological
standard of 100 organisms per glass was exceeded in over SO percent of the
glasses examined; and over 50 percent of these glasses contained pathogenic
organisms, including streptococci and staphylococci.
Dr. Walker attributes this finding to the fact that in 40
of the 66 hotels/motels surveyed, the glass washing procedure involved rins-
ing the glasses in the wash basin with "hot" water, drying them with a bath
towel and then repackaging them in bags labelled, "THIS WATERGLASS IS SANI-
TIZED FOR YOUR PROTECTION." Although such practice was not the established
policy of the hotel or motel, it was followed by the housekeepers as a time-
saving, convenience measure*
Table 20 shows the bacterial count of beverage glasses rinsed
in the hotel or motel rooms. Standard plate counts ranged from 1,000 organisms
per glass to 100,000,000 organisms per glass, with Staphylococcus aureus

and strepcococci appearing on from 20 percent to 100 percent of the glasses
tested. In contrast, as shown in Table 21, glasses washed in the central
commissary, using standardized washing and sanitizing procedures, showed
considerably lower counts. Although standard plate counts were higher than
accepted bacteriological standards in all cases, no pathogenic organisms
were detected in the commissary-washed glasses. The author attributes this
finding to the possibility of unnecessary handling which occurs between wash-
ing, prepackaging and distribution of the glasses to the. rooms.
Several investigators have studied foodservice ware sanita-
tion within the institutional setting. Lloyd et al. (30) surveyed the dish-
washing facilities of five large (500 to 1,000-bed) hospitals and one chil-
dren's orphanage in 1970 to determine the washing and sanitizing efficiencies
of dishwashing machines. Microbiological testing-was performed on the wash
water of the dishwashers, the rinse water, the dish surfaces following wash-
ing and rinsing, and the air surrounding the dishwashing area. Table 22 shows
the results of the wash and rinse water tests, in which staphylococci and
enterococci were noted in the wash water at two institutions; and one showed
staphylococci in the rinse water. The authors note that the water tempera-
tures during the wash and rinse cycles were lower than has been recommended,
attributing their microbiological findings to this fact. However, as shown
in Table 23, dishware which had been washed and rinsed showed counts below
the accepted microbiological standard in every case but one. Additionally,
the number of airborne microorganisms was not found to be significantly af-
fected by either activity or inactivity in the area of the dishwashing mach-
ines, indicating that the processing of the foodservice ware did not produce
an increased bioload in the surrounding environment.

Wehrle (82) in a previously mentioned study of foodservice
on communicable disease wards, reports that normal foodservice ware washing
and sanitizing procedures are adequate in removing even highly infectious
organisms from utensils used for patients with communicable diseases. He
stresses that the problems in handling these utensils lie with personnel
who often fail to wash their hands properly before and after touching the
dishes, rather than with the sanitizing procedures themselves. Wehrle sug-
gests a cycle involving prewash at 140° to 160°F, wash cycle of 160°F, and
a flow rinse at 180°F. the significance of Wehrle!s study is that, given
proper personnel training, the facilities and processes available in the
institutional setting are capable of producing sanitized foodservice ware,
even when that ware has been heavily contaminated.

Another study, by Jopke et al. (24) of 21 hospitals in the
Twin Cities area, reaffirms the effectiveness of institutional washing pro-
cedures. From a total of 6,600 samples from dinner plates, cups, and glasses
(among other products), the authors found very low microbial counts immedi-
ately after washing, reflecting the operating effectiveness of all dishwashing
machines. The results of this test are presented in Table 24.

c. Handling and Storage Factors: While Jopke's study found
that washing and sanitizing procedures in the hospitals studied were effec-
tive, "handling and environmental exposure emerged as the critical factors
in tableware contamination," (Page 31). The authors note that "the degree
of contamination increases with the length of time between after washing
and before use, a period when the tableware is exposed to both environmental
and personnel contamination," (Page 31).
S-91
-------
Table 25 shows the microbial counts of tableware during stor-
age* As shown, the mean counts on all items except dinner plates and trays
increased during storage. This can be explained by the fact that plates and
trays are often better protected from airborne contamination than cups, glasses,
and flatware, which may be stored on open shelves. Also, since plates and
trays are stacked, less individual surface area is exposed to personnel and
environmental contaminants* Finally, Table 26 indicates counts taken on tableware
immediately prior to use. As indicated, the three products of particular
concern to this study—plates, cups and glassware, showed slightly lower
mean counts at this point than during storage; however, there were fewer
samples showing a zero bacterial count prior to use than during the storage
period. Based on their findings, the authors recommend several improvements
to decrease microbial contamination of tableware. Included are decreased
handling of tableware by personnel, the storage of sanitized plates in mobile
bins or self-leveling storage bins, and the storage of sanitized cups, glasses
in the same rack and cylinder in which they were sanitized.
In a sequel to the previous study, Jopke et al. (23) examined
the effects of air conditioning on microbial airborne contamination in hos-
pital dishwashing facilities and resultant contamination of tableware. They
found that the presence or absence of air conditioning was the one variable
with the greatest effect on airborne microbial quality, with air-conditioned
hospitals showing levels one-third less than those in nonair-conditioned
facilities. Results of these tests are shown in Table 27.

A final consideration in the handling of permanent foodservice
ware is breakage. Of the three types of products being considered in this
study—raelamine, china, and glass—glass undoubtedly presents the greatest
hazard from the standpoint of accidental breakage. Glass tends to shatter,
scattering splintered fragments over a wide area. China, although it also
may be broken, separates into a smaller number of pieces, which are predomi-
nantly of right angle formation. These pieces are not as sharp as the glassware
fragments and are therefore easier to pick up without risk of injury (18).
Melamine is resistant to breakage and although a.severe impact could cause
fracture, the pieces would be unlikely to cause injury.
D. Compliance of Disposable Foodservice Ware (Single Service)
As discussed in the section on standards, single service container
manufacturers routinely submit samples of their products to the Syracuse
Research-Corporation (SRC) Food Protection Laboratory (an independent labora-
tory) for testing. Testing determines conformance with the bacteriological
standard, stated in PHS Publication 1465, of no allowable coliform bacteria,
and no more than one colony of noncoliform bacteria per square centimeter
of food or beverage contact surface.
As experts in the field of single service ware testing, SRC has
found that "these products consistently meet the standards of the PHS." Ac-
cording to Mr. Jack B. Friers, Manager of the Food Protection Laboratory,
"Based upon these results, it is our opinion that single service containers
have an excellent sanitary quality and are safe for their intended use."
S-95
-------
Friers also believes that the difference in bacteriological standards be-
tween permanent ware (no more than 100 colonies per 8 square inch area) and
single service ware (no more than 50 for the same area) "are not significant
...and that both standards should be meaningful in their field of use," (51).
In support of SRC's experience, a 1-month analysis of disposable
foodservice ware at Elmhurst Hospital in 1968 (21) showed all items tested
to be free of coliform organisms and well within the generally recognized
bacteriological standard. Table 28 shows these results.
Two studies were submitted which question the sanitary quality
of single service food containers. The first, called the "Eight Hospital
Study," <15) tested disposable paper items taken from normal storage during
a 1-week period in eight hospitals. The results of the tests, done in the
hospitals' own laboratories, are presented in tabular form, as shown in Table
29. (Items applicable to the present study have been asterisked.) According
to the study results, microbial counts for the 9 ounce cold drink cup were
"too numerous to count" at one hospital, but were 0 in the other 7; all counts
for the hot drink cup were 0;. 4 of the 8 counts for the 9 inch plate were
unacceptable (2 being "too numerous to count"); and 2 of the foam cup counts
were above acceptable levels.
The "Eight Hospital Study" is questionable for a number of reasons:
First, exact methodologies for testing are not included in the report. Second,
since each hospital performed its own tests in its own laboratory, conditions
could not be expected to be consistent among the eight facilities. Third,
the Rodac plate method used to determine microbial counts is intended for

testing flat surfaces; thus, its efficacy for rounded cup surfaces is ques-
tionable.— These reservations would suggest that the results of the "Eight
Hospital Study" may not be scientifically acceptable.
The second study is the Rosner-Hixon Report (65), in which dispos-
able plates (type not specified) were tested to determine the degree of bac-
terial contamination. Three cartons from each of six manufacturers were rep-
resented in the test. One plate was taken from the top of the stack, one
from the middle and one from the bottom; additionally, two more plates were
removed from the top of other stacks from each carton. The plates were swabbed
with sterile water, and plate counts were performed; the results appear in
Table 30.
As indicated, all of the plates from the bottom of the.stacks were
sterile; however, two samples from the middle showed counts of 300 and 3,100
respectively, while the top samples showed fairly high levels of contamination
in three of the six cartons. The implication, of course, is that the top
plates were more subjected to exposure and to contamination during packaging
and handling. The Rosner-Hixon Report has been questioned because of its
lack of detailed description of methodology, of personnel and facilities
used in the testing, and for its limited number of samples, considered not
to be representative of the total number of products under consideration.
Additionally, for the purposes of the present study, there is concern over
the fact that the type of "disposable" plates is not specified.

SRC, in a response to these two studies, questions not only the
scientific quality of the investigations, but also the results* According
to the manager of the Food Protection Laboratory, "Occasionally somewhat
higher bacterial counts are found in the exposed top item of the stack than
in other parts of the stacks, but we have not encountered the extremely high
counts reported in the study. We have found that single service items within
a stack (other than the top item) are consistently low or zero in bacterial
contamination levels."
In light of the above reservations, the position of SRC, and the
fact that these were the only two studies encountered in an extensive litera-
ture review which indict disposable foodservice ware from a sanitation stand-
point, the "Eight Hospital Study" and the Rosner-Hixon Report do not present
substantial or conclusive evidence indicating the sanitary quality of single
service items. However, in light of the finding by the GAD that 63.2 percent
of sampled commercial establishments do not properly store, dispense and
handle single service articles, it is possible to conclude that problems
may well exist in the handling of those products; and that these problems
could represent the potential for disease transmission. Again, it is not the
products themselves but the human factor which may threaten sanitation.
In order to ascertain the attitudes of public health professionals
toward disposable products, the Environmental Health Administration undertook
a national survey in 1976, in which questionnaires were mailed to 3,000 indi-
viduals, randomly chosen from the directory of state food and drug officials
and the membership of public and environmental health organizations. These

organizations included the National Environmental Health Association, the
Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, the Conference
of Local Environmental Health Administrators, the Association of State and
Territorial Health Officers, the International Association of Milk, Food
and Environmental Sanitarians, Inc., and the American Public Health Associa-
tion (Section on the Environment). About 2,760 persons returned question-
naires, providing a 92 percent response rate.
Table 31 categorizes the respondents according to their positions
and organizations* As indicated, 45 percent of those returning questionnaires
are public and environmental health administrators at the state and local .
level, and 41 percent are state and local sanitarians* These categories rep-
resent those individuals most directly responsible for health regulation in
commercial and institutional foodservice establishments. Of the respondents,

Table 32 presents a listing of the benefits the respondents attribute
to single-use foodservice items* Of the public health professionals, 69 per-
cent consider sanitation-related factors to be the main benefits of these
products, including the reduction in the potential for cross-infection, the
reduction in disease transmission (if properly stored and handled), the pro-
vision of a consistently high level of food sanitation, and the reduction
in human involvement in the sanitizing process. Conversely, 71 percent of
the respondents recognize that disposables present disadvantages in terms
of solid waste volume, litter, and disposal problems; this breakdown is shown
in Table 33. However, 80 percent believe that the benefits of disposables
are greater than the disadvantages, 11 percent feel benefits and disadvantages
are fairly equal, and only 6 percent think the disadvantages outweigh the
benefits* Finally, when asked how much disposable foodservice ware contributes
to sanitation levels in foodservice facilities, 74 percent of the respondents
felt they "contributed very much," 16 percent felt they "contributed somewhat,"
and 9 percent believed they "contributed slightly." These results are presented
in Table 34. Accordingly, 74 percent of the respondents felt that sanitation
levels would definitely decrease if disposables were eliminated and that they
would definitely increase if disposables were, required.

-------
The role of single-use foodservice ware in the overall realm of
sanitation cannot be denied. As specified in the Model Ordinance, single-
service items must be used in foodservice establishments (or institutions)
where there are inadequate facilities for washing and sanitizing permanent
ware* Single-service items may be recommended in isolation units of hospitals,
particularly if there is concern over the sanitary quality of permanent ware
being processed through the hospital kitchen* Single-service products are
also necessary at public events, outdoor gatherings, and other such occasions
when the "commercial foodservice establishment" may consist only of a small
booth or stand, certainly not equipped to wash and sanitize dishes.
Within the commercial or institutional setting where there are
facilities for washing and sanitizing permanent ware, it is extremely dif-
ficult to make direct comparisons between reusables and disposables. As pre-
i
viously discussed, the impact of human variables, from day to day, from restaurant
to restaurant or institution to institution, negates virtually every attempt
to quantify differences in the sanitary status of disposables versus reusables*
As correctly stated by the Single Service Institute, "the only precise way
to assess the health values of disposables versus reusables would be to survey
the bacteriological quality of one versus the other by testing the utensils
in .food-serving establishments just prior to their use," (48). And even then,
the scope of the investigation would have to be massive in order to be equitable.
Additionally, bacteriological standards alone do not measure the
capacity of foodservice ware (or any other product) to transmit disease;
the most such standards can do is to indicate potential for disease trans-
mission.
S-106
-------
The problem in assessing sanitation standards on foodservice ware
is summarized quite effectively by Bailus Walker, the author of several stud-
ies in this field: "Anderson in an extensive review of the epidemiological
basis of environmental sanitation in 1943 stated 'I wish I could cite evidence
that the lack of decent cleanliness in handling dishes in food establishments
is likely to result in demonstrable diseases, for I would welcome a basis
for enforcing better dishwashing. And yet I know of no evidence of this char-
acter.' ...Almost four decades later there is still little or no evidence
of this character. Questions involving the health effects of environmental
bioloads are particularly prone to uncertainty and the health impact of var-
ious environmental levels of microorganisms on food or beverage contact sur-
faces are often unknown, and not infrequently unknowable." (78, page 10;
See comments Appendix J, pages 16-20.
