In the continuing dispute about recycling policy in Ontario, O-I Canada has criticised the fact sheet & letter sent to municipalities on glass recycling rates in the province by Stewardship Ontario, the body responsible for managing the "blue box" curbside recycling system. "Key Facts on Glass Recycling in Ontario" was published by Stewardship Ontario 27/02/06. This was a response to a letter sent by O-I Canada (Jan) to the "Blue Box Funding Review Committee." In its new letter, O-I say that "While 'Key Facts' acknowledges actual glass recycling rates in Ontario are low, it also makes additional assertions which are either factually incorrect or construes facts in such a way as to be misleading.To be clear, recovering glass and actually recycling it once it is recovered are two entirely different things: 70% of glass available in Ontario is not recycled".
