EN11(7) Fate of Packaging Material on Goods Received

Print This Page

BC Hydro attempts to reduce, reuse and recycle all packaging material wherever possible. Cardboard boxes are segregated and reused, unless they are damaged, wet or marked, in which case they are recycled in the Cardboard Recycling Program. Blister sheets, silica gel, popcorn and styrofoam are reused as required in shipping. Last year, we were not successful in finding markets for old uniforms and non-reusable styrofoam, but it appears likely that used shrink wrap will become part of the existing Comprehensive Resource Recovery Program next year.
