NSW: Councils adopt recycling policy
Councils in the greater Sydney area have adopted a policy aimed at ensuring they buy more
products made from recycled materials.
Southern Sydney Waste Board spokesman NEIL CHAPMAN says the policy, developed by the NSW
Waste Boards and due to come into effect in mid-1999, will also boost the recycling industry.
Mr CHAPMAN says councils are being asked to base purchasing decisions on environmental
costs, such as energy used in production and recycled content, rather than on price.
Seminars will be held for councils in the next couple of weeks to explain the policy and
promote its use.
