New York Makes Strides For Climate Sustainability

Mayor Mike Bloomberg continues to fight for climate sustainability with the proposal of banning foam food containers from being used.  New Yorkers alone dispose of 23,000 foam containers per year and while street vendors and restaurateurs prefer these heat-keeping containers, they have proven to have a slow breakdown rate within landfills.  

The banning of this container, which has already been implemented in some west coast cities, will result in a higher cost for take-away products by vendors and restaurant owners.  As a result, there is much controversy revolved around the issue.

The future of the foam container in New York will be up for debate this winter.  For more recycling information visit our website at http://www.borowide.com/.
