[GreenYes] Environmental impacts of alternative one-use plates

["Reindl, John" <Reindl@co.dane.wi.us>]

Hi all ~

I got a call today from a citizen looking for some hard data on the
environmental impacts of alternative one use plates, including (but not
limited to):

	1. Polystyrene foam plates
	2. Waxed coated paper plates
	3. Heavy paper "chinet" plates
	4. Rigid polystyrene plates.

Some detailed information would be especially useful, but any data would be
welcome.

Thanks much,

John Reindl, Recycling Manager
