From TerraCycle
TerraCycle has found that nearly everything we touch can be recycled – so they collect typically non-recyclable items through national, first-of-their-kind recycling platforms. It’s really easy to participate – all you have to do is create an account, collect waste to be recycled, print a mailing label from their website, and ship!
They have a ton of FREE recycling programs that are great for breweries – including an E-Waste Recycling Program, a Plastic Cup #6 Recycling Program, and a Cigarette Waste Recycling Program. You can download some of their educational resources below:
From Helio Pack
Consider using packaging that is 100% photodegradable! Helio Pack’s six-pack rings break down through light and sun exposure, leaving the kind of minimal carbon footprint that everyone from small brewers to industry wholesalers to folks at home can feel good about.
From The Ring Leader Recycling Program
More than 12,000 schools, business and groups around the world have participated in the FREE Ring Leader Recycling Program and helped to save the environment. Participants in the program collect plastic ring carriers (like those often found on beer) and ship them back to Hi-Cone. The ring carriers are used in open loop recycling. This helps to reduce litter and waste in our landfills as well as the amount of natural resources needed to create new plastic products. As a brewery, consider signing up and becoming a local collection site!
