It is their view that plastic has a negative image, even though most people feel they could not get along without it and the benefits plastics have brought to today’s lifestyl Recycling and” & You yle. It is an image EPIC would like to change. According to EPIC, plastics comprise only seven per cent of all municipal solid waste; and plastic fast food packaging on- ly accounts for one-quarter of one per cent of landfill waste — substantially less than what most people think It further states that plas- tics are one of the most desir- able materials to have in a landfill, since they are physi- Golden brown chicken breast patty Pr h lettuce, mayonnaise and ‘s00d bun.

EPIC also says that plastic grocery bags require only one- fifth the energy needed to pro- duce a paper bag, and that pa- per bags occupy about ten times more space than plastic bags in landfills. A coding system has been recently developed for plastic packaging containers. Many a bad rap containers now have the code number imprinted somewhere on them. Plastic milk pouches, which have been on the market for about 20 years, are popular be- cause of their low contribution to waste. For an equivalent amount of milk, the pouches only take eight per cent of the landfill space taken by paper- board containers. The public also perceives that the world would be a bet- ter place if plastic packaging were eliminated. Not so, according to EPIC, which says the volume of pack- aging waste would more than double, energy consumption would double to produce alter- native materials, and packag- ing costs would also increase. A major problem with plas- tics in B.C. is that the infras- tructure for recycling them has not caught up with the de- mand to do so.
