Beverage Packaging Group of the environment ministry's Solid Waste Task Force was tabled in the Legislature by En- OrOnTnent Minister William Newman. The main subject of the detailed report which ,was received by the ministry on March 15, bud had not yet been released, is . just how much waste is caused by throwaway bottles and cans. The commit- tee calculated that the various beverage industries were responsible for 241,846 tons of waste in 1972 of which the soft drink industry was the chief culprit. They further estimated that it cost Ontario $3.9 million to dispose of the waste from beverages in 1972. The Task Force group's membership, including seven members drawn from beverage- related industries and three from consumer groups, made it all but impossible to arrive at any concrete solutions. Thus while the report gives the On- tario Members of Parliament their first comprehensive look at the environmental effect of throWaway bottles and cans, it does not go far enough in providing any solutio'ns to the problem. While the group agrees in general that refillable bottles are better than single use bot- tles or cans to reduce garbage and save energy and resources, it admits at the end that "if a major reduction in the use of non-refillable containers or their elimination is to be achieved, however, additional measure to the ones recommen- ded in this report, have to be adopted."• While a ban on non- returnable bottles was rejected as was the suggestion that an "environmental surcharge" or tax be added to their cost; the group did suggest that the government establish a man- datory refundable deposit for refillable soft drinks - five cents for bottles up to 16 ounces and 10 cents for larger bottles - as an incentive to consumers to _return refillable bottles. ,,MoKenver, it,nroposed is ban en wpep Cans dArith pull4h- openers. However, no specific date for ' this ban was suggested in order to allow development of an alternative opening device. The committee further suggested that the soft drink industry follow the brewing industry's lead in establishing standard container sizes and selling the product in carriers that can be used to return empties. Action on the working •• group's recommendations on the still outstanding question of a ban rests with Environment Minister Newman. While Mr. Newman has accepted the report as, a guideline he feels that there is a need for more direct action in a number of areas. However, he has no target date for legislation and refuses to hint at what form of action he will take. ' The ministry of environment has been under constant pressure. for three years from Opposition Members and en- vironmentalists to ban the throwaways or at least to take some action. It was back in January 1973, that James Auld, the former Minister of the Environment was saying that he would have legislation regulating soft drink bottles and cans in effect by September.

FANCY WAX OR GREEN BEANS, PEAS R CARROTS took over the ministry last February, said :that he w ould bring in new legislation or regulations to deal with pop- containers before the end of the. year but added that no guaran- tee of action, by this date could be given, Environment Minister William Newman has stated that he plans to introduce legislation in the fall. of 1974 for Ontario's first program of environmental impact studies. Since the future holds a con- tinual series of public and private enterprises requiring in- vestigation of their environ- mental effect, the Aim of An im- pact program is to learn the en- virontnental. consequences of these projects in advance, so that damage. may be avoided through planned changes rather than having to face it when it happens. The -.Green Paper on environ- mental Assessment published in September, 1973, pots forth several possible approaches for subjecting major .dowlopment projects IP environmental pact reviews, While the Green Paper is intended to provide a. basis for public discussion and to solieil public response, the. ministry of the environment's methods of soliciting public in- pot, have been attacked by en- viromnentalists, it has been argued that. white the govern- merit is the sole receiver .of all submissions, it .is .impossible to 'know, therefore, what weight .public input has had into the legislation that Government le likely to produce, Mr, Newman has stated that there have been 179 sub% missions to the Green Paper on environmental assessment which his ministry is still in the process of evaluating, flOYPV0P, the minister Pf thavovironment has opposed suggestions by Liberal Opposition. Members to make these submissions public or publicize the major concerns common to most briefs in order that they could become part of public discussion • before legislation is introduced. Therefore, it would seem that little opportunity will be given for public input in the for- mation of the legislation. thru Classified CLINTON NEWS-RECORD, THURSDAY, 'W Y 18, 1914-4 COCA-COLA.
