What. about foam tras
disposal, .why e1,000 pulp cartons lett 3.1
•
What do you think of those foam -type
t.ri l"'s. which are being used -in
supermarkets these days to package,lneats
• and fruity and vegeta _ ,les? " o
In the May/June issue of Canadian
Consumer, there was an article ?bout
these containers as well as the ordinary°'"
cardboard plates ()some stores use. The
subject was -discussed in an anti -pollution
x` ,.w.wP artirele-CiT ti-t4i ts-'Peekagipie-elt
a1i .41-i GJft.? —
The item pointed up the fact that the
foam (polystyrene) made from oil and
cardboard' trays are probably as
anti -polluting as anything you wiL use to
package ,foods with these days. The
greatest problem, in favi appears, to be
the additional space they require in
sanitary land -fill operations. Polystyrene,
for instance; can be partiilly comp, ed
r es s ,,
but it tends to spring back slowly.
Burning'x as , a method of disposal,
doesn't seem all that satisfactory, either.
Tests show that after burning, 1,000 foam
artons left,se'ven lbs: of residue requiring
441.
.We wonder whether trays are necessary
at all in "packaging meats, fruits "i -fid
vegetables. In fact, we•nd;r ,whether
half the •pack•ing materials u� ed by today's
manufacturers are necessary... and
• apparently the CAC

thing. They write:

"Are we really solazy that we can no
longer wash, clean or sanitize anything?`
Can we afford to waste our oil reserves, a
limited non-renewable „ resource, on
throw -away packagirtg when a satisfactory
alternative is ayailable from renewable
resources? Are we sb•-affluent that we can
afford to spend millions on the disposal of
unnecessary .(Metro jQLonto.
'alone spends $24 million annually on
collection and disposal, and in the US, at
45 -billion, per year, solid waste disposal is
the third largest service activity, exceeded
in cost only by schools and highways.)"
