Ont. leads in glass recycling Canadians put on a “glass act” in 1992, recycling fully 18 per cent more used glass than they did in 1990. Enthusiastic recyclers nation­ wide helped bump up Canada's glass recycling rate to 29.3 per cent, according to Consumers Glass, Canada's only manufacturer of glass containers and its major purchaser of recycled glass. Ontario set the pace with the most glass collected on a per capita basis. Citizens of the most densely populated province recycled fully 35 per cent more Blue Box glass last year than they did in 1990, boosting the overall estimated glass recycling rate to 34 per cent of all glass used by Ontario consumers. The total tonnage of glass recycled by Ontarians from all sources including Blue Box was 110,833 in 1991, compared to 87,336 the pre­ vious year A notable increase in blue Box glass was registered by Toronto, which collected 18,036 tons, 184 per cent more than in the previous year. This represents a savings of 656,000 cubic feet, based on 55 lbs. per cubic foot for broken glass of landfill space at Toronto's major landfill site, Keele Valley. “Glass is an excellent example of how the commitment of Canadians to recycling is growing,” said Jim Bacon, President, Consumers Glass. “From just seven per cent in 1988, the national glass recycling rate has increased to almost 30 per cent.

Glass recycling saves energy, natural resources and landfill space. Through their glass recycling efforts in 1991, Canadians con­ served sufficient natural gas to meet the energy requirements of some 2600 family homes for one year. They also saved 234,600 tons of sand, limestone and soda ash, the natural resources used in glassmak­ ing; and conserved an estimated 7.4 million cubic feet of landfill space. One of the greatest gains has been in the quality of recycled glass Consumers Glass received in 1991. In Ontario, 99.2 per cent of all glass sent to Consumers Glass for recycling was accepted. “This has been a tremendous improvement, and the credit must be given to he efforts of our recyclers. Household­ ers also have become more careful and knowledgeable about what glass can and can't be recycled,” said Mr. Bacon. In grade eight, Eugene Fenton spoke about Epilepsy, Kim Leish- man spoke about Racism and Ryan Moffatt told us his opinion of Politicians. The winners for their grades were Erin Forest (grade seven) and Eugene Fenton (grade eight). The overall winner for the Intermediate Division was Erin Forest who will go on to the Legion Contest, Saturday, Feb. 22. Congratulations to all the speak­ ers. We really enjoyed your speech­ es and learned a lot. On behalf of our school, we would especially like to thank the three judges Jane Gardner, Flo Keillor and Nancy MacLennan, who rearranged their schedules so that they could join us and make the difficult decisions often required of them. Thanks a lot judges. Most glass bottles and jars can be recycled, but non-container glass items such as plate glass, crystal, heat-resistance glass cookware, chinaware, earthenware and other ceramics do not melt in the glass­ making process. Consumers Glass is striving for continuous improvements in its operations to recycle more and more used glass. In some of its facilities, the amount of recycled glass used in making new glass containers is as high as 50 per cent. To date, its recycling efforts have met and exceeded those proposed by Canada's National Packaging - Protocol.
