EPA studies styrofoam waste
by Mary Steuby Kansan staff writer
The Environmental Protection Agency was unable to provide any specific recommendations yesterday to the Union merchandising policies and regulations on plastics and Burge Unions' styrofoam, paper and plastic waste problems.
The EPA said it would not be able to provide information on the use of plastic versus paper products until it has completed a five-year study on
Chet McLaughlin, an EPA representative, told committee officials that Congress had asked the EPA to research plastic and paper products and their recycling possibilities. "Until our study is completed, reusable dishes are our safest recommendation as far as the environment is
concerned," McLaughlin said.
Representatives of suppliers of plastic and paper products were present at the meeting and told the committee that they had found little evidence of harmful chemicals controlling harmful chemicals to the food products they contain.
McLaughlin said that recycling facilities are becoming more common as markets for the recycled byproducts from paper and plastic are developing. He speculated that it would be three to five years before either the Lawrence or the Kansas City area would begin to see this happen. Now, the closest recycling facility is in Ames, Iowa.
McLaughlin reminded the committee about the government's ruling that went into effect June 22 requiring agencies that receive federal
funds to meet certain standards concerning the use of recyclable products. This includes such items as paper, lubrication oils, and newsprint.
Wes Williams, dean of educational services and committee member, said he thought yesterday's discussion was the best the committee had conducted on the subject. The committee plans to hold study sessions and meet in the near future to make a decision on what should be done about waste problems at the University of Kansas.
The committee discussed changing attitudes on recycling, ways to increase involvement in the separation of waste to be recycled, and student involvement in present efforts.
