egg cartons.
Dolco is the largest U.S. manu
facturer of polystyrene egg car
tons, a product used by the truck

trays, foam beverage cups, and
previously used egg cartons.
Dolco CEO Larry Rembold
said he was encouraged by the
FDA approval because it means
the federal government has
assigned a high priority to the
opening of new markets for
recycled products.
/>
In the March issue of “Sunnys
ide” a newsletter for Sauder’s
Eggs employees, producers, and
customers Paul Sauder dis
cussed his company’s concern
about plastics recycling.
Sauder is president of the
family-owned egg processing and
marketing business employing
more than 200 full-time workers
at its Lititz‘plant. Many of the
eggs packed in the plant are
shipped in plastic foam cartons.
Sauder pointed out that plastic
foam is an ideal packaging mater
ial because it is economical, ster
ile, relatively unaffected by mois
ture, and does not support the
growth of bacteria.
Recognizing that plastic foam is
a minor ingredient in the landfill
mix, Sauder nevertheless voiced
concern about the growing envir
onmental impact of all the waste
produced by Americans. He
pointed out that plastic foam is
one of the most recyclable of all
our discards.
There are no collection and
marketing systems presently in
place to allow the economical
recycling of plastic foams. But

Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, April 7,1990-A29
those systems are on the not-to
distant horizon, a statement made
before the FDA ruling that gave
Delco the go-ahead to begin
polystyrene recycling.
In the newsletter, Sauder said
his company is encouraged by the
prospects for plastics recycling,
and pledged that the firm would be
a part of the movement.
In the same issue of “Sunnys
ide,” there was a story about the
99.5-out-of-a-possible-100 score
for a Sauder’s entry in the egg
competition at the annual Pennsyl
vania Farm Show in Harrisburg.
No one associated with the com
pany, or the Farm Show, or with
the egg competition could recall
an entry that had ever come so
close to absolute perfection.
Other stories talked about crea
tion of a new product just in time
for Easter eggs already hard
boiled and colored. Nutritionist
Pat Barton talked about changing
ideas in nutrition for “Sunnyside”
readers, and there was a story on
an intriguing husband-and-wife
team of egg producers, Leroy and
Judy Esbenshade, who market
their eggs through Sauder’s.
