Management strategies Recycling Paper Assignment – Describe and evaluate Parkland’s recycling program.
Comparison of processes Area for comparison/ Process Recycling Virgin Paper and Incineration Energy in the process Less (could be renewable) 25% more but could be renewable Incineration generates energy and replaces fossil fuels (toxin removal) Energy in transport More Less since it tends to be shorted distances but not always the case Pollution Toxins to landfill CO2 from transport supports forest growth Air and water pollution from pulp and paper other Inhibits attempts to use incineration as alternate energy source What could be better forest management that to reduce the number of trees needed to be cut? Stimulus responsible forest management Inhibits attempts to improve energy efficiency
