PAPER

Hmvt'vi'r. the magazine says
that mi existing legislation
would force ( ompanies to pro
dure unbleached receded pa
per products, although the
technology exists
The extra cost of pro( essing
used materials into recycled
products may cause "industrial
inertia," Sugarrnan said.
Hut warehouses and landfills
around the county contain
enough paper, glass and plastic
to fill the resource demands of
U S. corporations, she said.
"Supply of reusable materi
als is not the problem," Sugar
man said. "We know how to
provide collection systems, hut
processing the materials is
what industry has to do he
cause they own the plants."
The Eugene Mission, one ex
ample of a local collection s\s
tern, collects more than -tint
tons of used paper a month,
selling the paper to large col
let tion agencies, who then sell
the material to large corpora
tions, said Ron Metcalf. Eugene
Mission Organizer
After the paper is sold. Met
calf said, the Eugene Mission
has little knowledge ot how
much paper is stored m ware

tsen Sandusky, ret vi ling co
ordinator for lame County's
Waste Management, wanted to
jolt the marketplace into ai tion
by requiring the county to pur
chase high-quality, recycled
paper products, preferably tin
bleached file purchasing strat
egy would stimulate demand
and convince manufacturers to
supply recycled paper, he said
"latne County needs to set its
own definitions of what a rra
srtnable standard of ret vcled
paper is." he said
Sandusky thought finding a
supplier of ret vi led paper
would be easy but found the in
dustrv to be a confusing ami
sometimes contradictory place,
he said
He found that rei vcled paper
means one of three things
postconsumer waste, a produi t
made from paper diverted from
landfills; secondary waste pa
per made from obsolete stocks
of paper or mill waste, vvhii h is
