buinessnewl DuPont's recycling initiative earns excellence award A teamn of DuPont Canada researchers, includingf Dave Climengage and-Josee Lachance of the . Witby plant,ý was recently honoured with a Global DuPont environmental excellence award. j They worked on RE-NU, an initiative many experts at firet deemed as impractical. Five years later, the initiative has grown into North Amorica' oniy curbeide flexible packaging recycing program. Climenhage is packaging environmental affaire manager for DuPont Canada Inc. and RE-NU teamn leader., A six-month pilot in Peterborough, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministr of the Environment, and the Environment and' Plastics Institute of Canada (EPIC), determined that the curbside collection of flexible plastics was feasible. Prier te, that test, moet experts believed the mix of different polyniers (high and low density polyethylene, polyprop ,lene, etc.) in meet bags and flei le plastics (bread bagà, milk pouches, shopping. bags, paper overwrapping) would be too difficult ta recycle, and that the contamination would render the recycled materials unusable. The success of the initial recycling pilot pr.jet led ta the formation Plto p he recycling committee of the Plastic Film Manufacturer's Assoc iation of Canada, with- four companies: Atlantic Packaging Producte LtcL, DuPet dCanada>ncUnion Carbide Performance Plastcs Ltd., and Uniplast Industries Inc. This group led the recycling project inte- the next stages of development. DuPont Canada aIso initiated a curbside recycling project in Port Moody, B.C. ta expand the program outeide of Ontario.

'Some of the solutions were. extremely technical, while some of them were as simple as adding industrial polyethylene film te the curbside plastics, ta increase the purity et the recycled mixture." Each of the 12 Global DuPent environniental excellence winning projects were presented with a choque for $5,000. The RE-NU team in Witby divided their award among three envirenînental programs: STORM (Save The Oak Ridges Moraine), SAGA. (Save the Ganaraska Again), and the AVIAN Care and Research Feundation. STONRM and SAGA are both dedicated te preserving and protecting the lush 'green forests ef the Oak Ridges Moraine, which' stretches from Trenton ta Milton. The AVIAN Care and Research Foundation je concerned with the preservation and research et wild bird in Ontario. The recycled polyethylene film packages are converted ta, RE-NU RFP2 resins.
