The item ise't as super- ficial as it seems at first glance. Under current provincial law pop cans *have te be 75 per cent steel.' OnIy one ed of the can is made of aluminum. For obvieus economic reasons Alcan wants that changed, and there is a cer- tain amount of public benefil te their argument. According te Tim Porter, a p ublic relations consultant hired by Alcan, aluminum ia casier te recycle thâe steel and has a higher value of the market. This is really the crux of the entire debate--diverting material away from munici- pal landfill sites. Halton is currently in the midsl of a Ion g and bitter argument over thbe siting of a future garbage dump. One of the many aspects of this debate that seems te be over- Ioeked is the need toecul Our reliance on landfilî in the future. Sad stat It wss wth some pride regional business develop- ment director Matt Fischer was able te anneunce Milton has se an 11 per cent in- crease je industrial develep- ment, a figure wich les the rest of Halton. Mayor Gord Krantz went as far as te say the numbers for Milton provide a glimmer cf hope for a tumnareuind je the econemic picture cf Halton Region with an estimated eight per cent unempîcyment rate. However, the rest of the figures for 1982 across the region are far frem en- cours g ig. While Halton hiadt 84 new firms locate je the regien, 70 plants closed and another 10 moved out for a net gain of four new firmas. Nt much, oie fiel te he cbeery about. To is credit, Mr. Fischer is nt going about predicting se ed tesa sluggisb ecenomy based on the fact Mlton was able 1v attract 21 of those 84 ne- :r11rn s wth the subsequent creation cf 143 jobs. The mnst telling statlstics is the drastic fa11 in tbc number of building permlts taken eut fast year. TIhe esseber feU 39 per cent ie Milton; 49 per cent ie BurI- *e .7:er cent in décIfncwas 62 per cent. Wlfh he competition bcbng geae'rabed b y other immfcfpalitiea for new le- ditry, perticularly aff4iler. fndiiiry, fltais needs every The only way te do this is te reduce the ameuni of gar- hage that bas te ha dumped and that mesus devclepe materials that cao ha recyci- cd. Steel pop cana, at the mo- ment cannot ha recycled. Aluminum cans cae ha, judg- ieg by fisc experience je the Ueited States. To ceunter the ecolegical hanefils of tise aluminum cao, steel iedustry spokes- man have argucd swtchieg fremn the current product ouI] mese a massive Ios0f jobs ie their plants. Halton bas given ceedi- tieeal support te the Alcan plan, pendfng verifiestion 0f thc je figures quoed ie thé Alcan brief (a loss of eely 43 steel jobs and the creatien of 1,100 je the rccycling ie- dutry). Anytbieg that reduces tihe ameunt cf wastc material preduced b y our tons and cities sbould ha supportcd and it seems quite likcly Uic Alcan proposaI will bave tIsat cffect. It sbould aIse spur the ecenemica of other types of recyclieg by cresting s de- maed for such products, te the hanefit of ail. wcapoe it cao muster je order te atract plants and creste jobs. One metbod we would seriously suggest is a meriterium on or a pay-as- yeu-go lot levy systcm. Ie- stesd cf dcmanding the money for services up front je a tigbtly gcograpbic arca like an indutrial park, let the region put in the services and then take back the lcvy moey at a later date or ever a peried of time. s it se wrong te stop demanding the moncy 1100 wben the region ceuld de- msed the moncy at a later date tbreugb a bindieg site dcvelopmcnt agreement?
