Jeep 4 Bridle HON. BILL FRENZEL OF MINNESOTA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, April 4, 1973 Mr. FRENZEL, Mr. Speaker, on February 15, the Minneapolis Star carried a news article which, I believe, will be of considerable interest to Members who are interested in - the subject of recycling. The article discusses the activities of the Recyclomatic Co. in developing and operating a recycling process for nylon. Nylon is a nonbiodegradable product. Such materials pose special handling disposal problems, and recycling techniques which apply to them are especially interesting to environmentalists.

Egrkvist, president of Sorenco, conInc., a Minneapolis-basesulting firm. The firm has formed a new division, the Hecyclomatic Company, to deal with recycling nylon and related plastics, Egek-vis- t said. The executive director is David II. Carlson, who is resigning as director of the Metropolitan Recycling Center, St. Paul, one of the sheltered work programs operated by the Occupational Training Center, Inc. (OTC), St. Paul. Sorenco is putting up the money for the equipment to process the nylon and handicapped workers w ill do the processing. Proceeds from the sale of recycled products w ill go to support OTC programs. Women are asked to dropoff laundered panty hose and nylons at any of several collection stations around the metropolitan area. John DuRand, OTC executive director, said several retailers and manufacturers cooperating in the program plan to give coupons worth money or trading stamps as added incentives. Handicapped workers will snip off the elastic and separate the hose according to type (6 or most American hose Is 66 type 66) w hich is determined by a heat test. The nylon is shredded, the color is removed and it is meltinto elastic ed, then nylon thread. The thread can later be used to make a variety of nylon products, Egekvist explained. He said the company plans to get into other nylon recycling programs later, perhaps using lingerie.
