- Note 12 - The glue used, if not organic, waterbased, may not be conducive to repulping (recycling). This container is a "pretty package", professional looking, and attractive to a customer, but not particularly attractive to someone concerned with environmental issues. It is inevitable that packaging designers will need to give increased consider- ation to the environmental consequences of their designs. The investigation of the toxic aspect of packaging disposal is relatively new and is being expanded through the use of more accurate testing equipment and dedicated scientific research. The challenge to the IBM packaging community is to understand the issues and to consider protection of the environment as an ongoing job respon- sibility. Figure 2.

' 4.0 Recycling 4.1 Introduction 4.1.1 Abstract 4.1.2 Objective 4.1.3 Scope IBM uses a comprehensive waste management system to reduce the impact of our waste materials on the solid waste stream. This integrated system attacks our solid waste problem with a multitude of solutions; It emphasizes reducing and recycling before considering alternatives for waste disposal. This section will focus upon the use of recyclable packaging materials (capable of being processed for subsequent use) as well as applications for recycled (already reclaimed from a waste product) material. It is designed to: - provide tools that increase the likelihood of recycling packagings provide information on secondary applications for (packaging) materials which would otherwise be landfiiled or incinerated, * establish goals for the content of recycled material to be included in the fin- ished package. A comprehensive environmental strategy finds applications for recycled materials including engineering specifications that reference recommended recycled content and secondary applications for materials which have previously func- tioned as a product package. Used in proper quantities and/or strategic applications, recycled material can offer the manufacturer several advantages over using virgin materials including: Avoidance of disposal costs - Little or no compromise in performance. Economic advantage in material cost Reduction in the unnecessary depletion of natural resources Environmentally sound Compliance with legislation This chapter attempts to identify means by which contributions to municipal solid waste can be reduced through recycling. Recycling is more than re-processing of waste materials. It is a technology that involves collection, separation, preparation (e.g. baling), sale to intermediate or final users, processing and eventual reuse and resale of the material. Recycling may reduce the volume of solid waste material in two ways 1. By redirecting materials otherwise sent to a landfill, 2. By reducing the amount of waste material generated from manufacturing processes which utilize raw materials. Recycling 23
