G-P Settles Pollution Claims

Georgia-Pacific, Atlanta, Ga., agreed to pay $32.3 million to settle U.S. Departnent of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency claims of inadequate air pollution controls at I I wood products plants in eight Southeastern states.

Under a consent decree filed in federal court in Atlanta, GeorgiaPacific agreed to invest $22 million in additional emission control equipment at the I I facilities, contribute $4.25 million for environmental improvement projects, and pay a $6 million civil penalty.

According to Georgia-Pacific, most of the Environmental Protection Agency's claims were "based on retroactive interpretations of Clean Air Act regulations" that varied from the rules in effect when the firm made its permining decisions.

Plastic Film Packs Growth

U.S. demand for plastic film should rise 3.3Vo annually to 14.4 billion lbs. worth nearly $16 billion in the year 2000, predicted The Freedonia Group.

Over the next five years, the largest growth for the versatile packaging material will be in high density polyethylene, increasing 5.9% a year, followed by polypropylene film (4.lVo), low density polyethylene (2.9Vo), polyester (2.7Vo), and other resins (1.7%).

Still, low density polyethylene will continue to dominate due to its low cost and diverse, large volume applications.
