Corrugated Recovery Hits 98% In Ontario

摘要

The recovery of Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) or boxes from Ontartio households has hit 98 percent. This is the highest recovery rate ever for the brown box, and makes it the most widely recovered packaging material from Ontario homes. "This is great news," said John Mullinder, Executive Director of PPEC. "Corrugated recovery nationally from the back of factories, supermarkets and offices is high, we estimate about 85 percent, but this number from Ontario is cream on the cake." The latest data comes from detailed municipal and industry reports for 2014 that have been verified and audited by Waste Diversion Ontario and the Blue Box organization, Stewardship Ontario.
