in i9 6 0 m e u n ite d sta te s produced 26 m illion
tons ot p ackaging w aste, b y 1995 we w ere producing
65 m illion tons!, Even w ith the upsw ing in recycling
over tne last 55 years this dem onstrates an increase
ol 5 / m illion tons ot w aste a year.
How to reduce tne am ount ot packaging used an d
m easures to insure that w hat we use is reusable tirst
and m en recy clable is a m ajor task tor m e new
century I he l h a estim ates m at 1/5 ot all m e solid
w aste generated conies directly trom packaging
m aterials. 1 he breakdow n ot the packaging
m aterials that end up in m e land!ill is: 55% paper &
gray board. 25% plastic. ,b % w o o d . 15% glass. /%
m etal an d 4 % com posites
u n e ot m e m ost d im c u it areas to im plem ent
change in is m e lood industry l ne increased
consum ption an d availability oi packaged loods
and take-out nas helped to double tne w aste stream
volum e. P ackaging is not all bad. It has helped to
m ake tresh produce available in oil seasons and has
been a lactor in tood contam ination But over
packaged products are becom ing the norm Read
boxes carefully to see w hat you are g etting
P ackaging uses many natural resources, causes air
and w ater pollution and w astes valuable land-till
space It is o tten unnecessary I he only w av to start
elim in atin g it is trom the grass roots level. Refuse
w hat you do not need. Think before you purchase
REU SE!! Let com panies know that you do not w ant
their product to com e w rapped up in a lot ot stutl
and help them to realize how m uch over packaging
costs them .
