Ontario Considers OCC Ban from Landfills

摘要

Ontario's paper industry is now attempting to ban old corrugated containers (OCC) from public and private landfills as a way of promoting proper recycling and environmental sustain-ability, reports Greener Ideas. This decision comes in light of Quebec's own recycling legislation. Quebec is moving to have OCC banned completely from landfills by 2013, and wished Ontario to make the same commitment for the environment. Notably, the industry hopes that such a ban on OCC will act as gateway legislation for further recycling acts.
