Document Summary
Gcm 854 | week 9 - sustainability & waste. Waste (or wastes) - unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. Does not require a lot of resources to make. Has right physical properties for its function. Formed aluminum - aerosol cans, pop cans. Iml - plastic casing + paper, film or foil. In 2014, in ontario alone, landfill collected over. That means odors, issues with groundwater and air pollution, and a seemingly endless parade of garbage trucks past their homes daily often dropping parts of their load on local streets and yards . In 2015-16, the beer store recovered more than 95% of all refillable beer bottles sold in. The ontario deposit return program recovered 79% of all wine, spirits and non-beer. Store listed beer containers in that same period, including more than 80 per cent of glass bottles and cans.
