9 Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of Plastics Packaging March 2014, LCA study on benefits of plastic packaging looked at materials, manufacturing, distribution, usage & disposal Examined substituting all plastic packaging with non-plastic alternatives - found significant detrimental impacts on packaging weight, transport energy consumption & global warming 4.4 more material used (by weight) 2X more energy used 2.3X more global warming potential Report & press release:
10 Plastics Packaging Helps to Conserve Natural Resources GLASS 36% PACKAGING PLASTIC 3.5% PACKAGING Without plastics, distributors fleets would make 50% more journeys = more cost and emissions

19 Expanding PS Foam Collection New Densifier Technology Municipality of Colchester British Columbia New Brunswick Nova Scotia Ontario Densifiers established in other locations both municipal and IC&I Canada Densifying PS reduces recycling and shipping costs substantially systems expanding across Canada19
20 The 4R s Benefits Plastics Sustainability Integrated Solid Waste Resource Management Systems utilizing 4R s enhance opportunities for resource conservation, recycling & recovery Benefits to economy, environment & socially Plastics recycling & recovery increases from enhanced 4R s systems Image Source: Durham Works Spring/Summer 2015
21 Summary: Plastics are Too Valuable to Waste 1. Plastics make a positive contribution to the three pillars of sustainability and zero waste to landfill goals 2. Plastic packaging has high value in recycling & energy recovery 3. Communication and education needed to inform the public on the efficient use of plastics 4. Partnership models create unique outreach, collection, recycling & resource recovery opportunities 5. Integrated Solid Waste Resource Management Systems utilizing all 4R s enhance opportunities for plastic resource conservation, recycling & recovery
