Show Orem-Geneva Times Wednesday, April 17, 1991 Page 10 Steelmakers lead nation in recycling industry A brochure recently released by the Steel Manufacturers Association As-sociation cites the steel industry as the foremost recycling industry in-dustry in the country. The steel industry consumes twice the recycled material of all other industries combined -double that of paper, non-ferrous metals, glass and plastics combined. com-bined. Annual landfill cost savings from steel recycling approximate $ 10 for every person in the United States. The amount of steel recylced each year is equivalent to one third of all municipal solid waste landfilled annually in the U.S. Geneva consumes 650,000 tons of scrap annually, according to Robert J. Grow, executive vice president and chief operating officer, of-ficer, the equivalent of 12 million cars or the approximate total weight of all cars in Utah. As an integrated steel mill, Geneva makes most of its steel from raw materials (75) and 25 from scrap. Two-thirds of that scrap is internally generated and internally recycled, Grow said. While integrated mills like Geneva use coal to smelt raw materials, some mills consume only scrap which is melted by electricity. These mills cannot produce the high quality, flat rolled products that are produced by an integrated steel mill like Geneva. Nationally, almost 55 Trillion tons of iron and steel scrap were recycled in 1990 - double the amount of all other materials combined. More than 322 U.S. steel making furnaces recycle the equivalent of 9 millions cars an nually. At least $2 billion of savings are achieved each year in solid waste disposal costs by recycling recy-cling scrap steel. Europeans, to encourage recycling recy-cling in a major way, are proposing propos-ing a recycling fee whenever a car is purchased. That fee will be refunded when the buyer turns in the car for recycling. To further help the process, Europeans now design cars to come apart in component com-ponent parts, and are using more and more steel parts instead of plastic, which gives off carcinogens car-cinogens when recycled.

The president said modest projections for enrollment at UVCC this year "only missed by 6,500" the number of students to enroll and consequently funded only 70 percent. He said state regents re-gents say this is the pattern and they "hope to absorb increased enrollment without funding."

Orem City Council members tentatively approved an information informa-tion Flier to be included with the City's utility bills during months when the Community Ties Newsletter is not distributed. Council members said the Fliers are an important way to increase community awareness of City activities and operations.
