Overal, residents recycled 6 per cent more glass in 1992 than in 1991. Now that glass recycling is well established in the home, it is making rapid inroads in the workplace. Figures kept by Consumers Glass, Canada's only manufacturer of container glass and the major purchaser of recycled glass from the blue box and other sources indicate the largest rate increase in the amount of recycied glas collected in Ontario teok place in the Industrial, Cmmercial and Institutional (IC&I) sector last year. Approximately 50 per cent more glass was derived from IC&I recycling prograins. "Our improved recycling rate reflects the fact that residents of Ontario are becoming knowledgable, conscientieus usera of the recycling prorms both et home and et work," explained Jira Bacon, pesidnt o# Consumners Glass. "Ia addition, many organizations in the IC&I sector have discovered thet they can reduce their disposai costa through recyclin,contributing both te their corporate image and their Recycling firma thet collect materiels from the blue box and other sources and seîl them ite manufacturera, achie'ved a 99.3 per cent acceptance rate for their glass et Consumera Glass in 1992, a figure thet is "as close te perfection as we are ever likely te get and reflects the extreme care being taken by rocryclora,' Bacon sai d. It wes estimated that residents of Ontario in 1992 saved 152,193 tonnes of sand, soda ash and limestone (natural resourcea in glassamaking) and consorved an estimated 4.8 million cubic foot of Iandflll apace (calculations based on an average of 55 lbs. of broken glass per cubic foot). Consumnera Glass has made major inveatments in recycling equipment and in the payment of premium prices te recyclera te encourage them te supply colour-sorted, contaminant-free glaa. These pricos were reduced in early 1992 te brin g thomn inte lino with the cost of virgin materials. Netionwide, the amount of glass recycled by Consumera Glass in 1992 was 32 per cent, up from7 por cent in 1988. So give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Continue te put exily verage and food glass containers in Our blue box and glass igloo deots. Do not include ceramic, light bulba, mirrors, car headlighta> etc. thet will contaminate the end result. Glass trivia: e The amount of glass recycled by residents of Ontario lest year would complotely fill Toronte's Maple Leaf Gardons. * The area covered by glass collected from alI sources in Ontario in 1992 would total 55.1 million square foot, the oquivaent of 857 CFL football fields.
