  • Plastics Reduction Bylaws Faqs

    Plastics Reduction Bylaws Faqs

    and the Lee Recycling Committee Frequently Asked Questions: the Polystyrene and Thin-Film Plastic Shopping Bag Bylaws At the May 2016 Town Meeting, Representatives adopted two bylaws designed to reduce the use of polystyrene drink and food containers and thin-film plastic shopping bags. The bylaws are posted on the Tri-Town Health Department website and in the Recycling Committee’s section of the Town’s website. A summary guide to the bylaws is also posted on these websites. The Tri-Town Health Department and the Lee Recycling Committee are collaborating to help the community transition to the bylaws. We are working to educate residents and businesses about the bylaws and to support them in making any changes. This effort will be ongoing well beyond the mid-May 2017 effective date. We prepared this document as an educational resource and we will update as we receive new questions. We welcome your feedback as well as your questions, so if you have any, please contact Jim Wilusz, Executive Director of the Tri-Town Health Department ([email protected]; 413.243.5540) or Peter Hofman, Chair of the Lee Recycling Committee ([email protected]; 603.767.4250). GENERAL QUESTIONS: When will the bylaws go into effect? Mid-May 2017. What is the purpose of the bylaws? The bylaws were designed to reduce the use of thin-film plastic shopping bags and polystyrene drink and food containers in order to enhance public health and safety, reduce waste disposal and management problems, and improve the environment – including eliminating items commonly found in roadside litter throughout Lee.

    GROCERY CARRY BAG SANITATION “A Microbiological Study Of

    GROCERY CARRY BAG SANITATION “A Microbiological Study of Reusable Bags and `First or single-use’ Plastic Bags” May 20th, 2009 The use of reusable food containers and carry devices for groceries is an important, to date overlooked piece in the study of the safety of the food supply in Canada. There has been little to no testing to investigate the risk reusables pose or do not pose to public health, yet increasingly reusables are being advanced as a viable substitute for first-use or single use packaging/ containers. The food service sector has been particularly concerned about the use of reusables. Research conducted last fall on a sample of reusables during the City of Toronto in-store packaging reduction program sparked even more concern by industry about potential public health risks. The Environment and Plastics Industry Council (EPIC) accordingly agreed to fund this independent piece of research in response to these public health concerns. The position of the plastics industry is clear. The industry strongly supports reduction and reuse, and recognizes use of reusables as good environmental practice, but it does not want to see these initiatives inadvertently compromise public health and safety. The industry believes that appropriate independent research and investigation must be pursued. Testing Laboratories Three independent testing laboratories were involved in this research study in order to provide broad and balanced testing and evaluation of the results. Two labs executed the testing – Guelph Chemical Laboratories (GCL) and Bodycote Testing Group of Montreal; and a third provided oversight and evaluative commentary of the results -- Toronto-based Sporometrics, the foremost experts in many aspects of fungal and environmental bacterial testing in Canada.
