A purchasing plan was implemented te integrate and sustain environmental improvement. The company now encourages suppliera te provide information regarding environmental policies and improvements in their production processes. With supplier support, minimized environniental impact through process improvements and advancements include: bulk deivey of materials, returnable shipping containers, removal of solventa, packaging reduction, pakagngçnfrmng with urrent recycling programs and purchasing\eycled content products where possible. Lily Cups undertook aggressive research of non-tradlitional secondary markets te fnd sustai nable recyclng opportunities for its wax' cylinder tube ceres and sca plastic. It aIse developed cUp using recycled carbon doxide as a blowing agent. Colleen Shier, manager of environmental affaira, says, "Our 3Rs prograni promotes environmental education for al employees with a focus on efficiency te minimize waste and impact of handling waste materials. At present, internal reduction and reuse of waste materials is our first priority." Within the next few years, manufactured products and packaging will be facing a 'Life Cycle Analysis.' This new science is a study te determine the total arnount of resources and energ used and waste generated b y a particular produet at alI stgeso its development. Prom t he resources extracted to make it, through te its manufacture in a factery, transportation, sale in a stere, use by a consumer, the materials extracted from it te make new products and its final disposai, Life Cycle Analysis will compare the relative environmerital impact. Researchers are now engaging in such studies te follow this 'cradle-to-grave' approach. For instance beverages are offered in a variety of packages that incluae: glass, plastic film pouches, PET plastic and other plastic types, plastic-wrapped paperboard, drinking boxes, returniable juga, canis and refilable bottles. The study of iÀfe Cycle Analysîs will tel which container bas the least impact on the environynent. As we aIl become more knowledgeable about produet stewardship, companies with a good green track record will survive. Coming event: Oct. 27 te 29, Toronte.
