delivery diaper service.

Although still popular,
disposable diapers are now

growing sales of cloth
diapers. :

. The diaper service concept
has been worked on for the
past two years, says Shorty

. TERRACE — Doing away with
foam containers will cut dawn
on’ the amount of waste
generated but replacements may
not be fpore environmentally. 4
friendly,’ SAYS wl McDonald's, 5.
“spokesman. 4”

‘The problem, says company
spokesman Arnie Nelson, is
that any material placed in a
dump won't breakdown
because it is covered and not ex-
posed to air. ;

Yet the decision to switch to a
coated paper wrap instead of

‘foam: was done because . of
customer demands, said
Nelson.

. “Our customers told us they
were uncomfortable with foam
and'so we listened and made a
change,”’ he said.

“There are -environmental
trade offs with any type of
packaging,’’ Nelson added.

McDonald's expects to be us-
‘ing: the -coated paper wrap,
similar to. that used for its ham-
burgers and cheeseburgers,
within two months.

“(The wrap) will cut down on
waste, by: 80 to 90 per cent.
That's one of the three ‘R’s —
_reduce, reuse and recycle,’’ said
: Nelson.

He expects the coated paper
to have the same insulation fac-
tor as the foam containers.

. Three years ago McDonald’s
- had. its suppliers switch from a
: blowing agent used to make
‘foam containers containing
azone-depleting
; chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to

” one that greatly reduced the use
of CFCs.

-.s Nelson said the cost of swit-

ching: ‘from foam to coated

‘paper :won’'t affect retail prices

and that the company is looking

for: a‘B.C. supplier.

“As well, McDonald’s will do

: away with the white paper bags
used for take out orders in

.-favour of brown pags- made of
_ Fecycled paper.

charges are up 20 per cent over

this time last year but that pro-
bably doesn’ t reflect an increase,

in the occurrence of the offence,
says the local‘ RCMP" detach-

Inspector Lawrence Yeske, i in
his latest report to city council,

‘:, -said.the increase is due more to

better detection methods.
In latest statistics, to the end

of October, 195 people have _

been charged with shoplifting.
That’s up over the same
period in 1989 when 162 were
charged but down a bit from
