Denver’s recycling education program expanded to increase aluminium cans recycling rate

EDITED BY : 2MINS READ

The Recycling Partnership, the City of Denver and the Can Capture Group – a consortium of national can manufacturers: Anheuser-Busch; Ardagh Group; Ball Corporation and Crown Holdings, aluminium suppliers: Novelis and Tri-Arrows Aluminium, and the Can Manufacturers Institute – announced the expansion of Denver’s recycling education program to increase aluminium beverage cans recycling citywide. The city aims to raise its recycling and composting rate to 34% by 2020.

Michael Hancock, Mayor of Denver, said: “Denver is proud to team up once again with The Recycling Partnership and the Can Capture Group and to be the first city in the country to run this challenge to recycle every aluminium we can in the metro area”.

“We’re ready to take our recycling to the next level by challenging our residents citywide to recycle every can they can starting this summer so we can raise our recycling and composting rate to 34% by 2020.”

Karen Bandauer, Strategic Partnership Lead at The Recycling Partnership, said: “Last year, we measured recycling of cans at the curb, both before and after the program, and what we found was exciting. As a result of simplified messaging and communication with residents through tags at their garbage carts, Denver residents responded by recycling 25% more loose aluminium cans. This year we’re thrilled to work again with the City of Denver with support from the Can Capture Group to take this program citywide. We hope that every Denver resident will take up the challenge and recycle every single can.”

About 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today without any loss of quality and that is a proof of its characteristic as a permanent material. 

 “The City of Denver is already a leader in environmental performance,” says Carlos Medeiros, Can Manufacturers Group Representative and President, Beverage Packaging North & Central America, Ball Corporation. “Its willingness to push even farther and to work with businesses and the nonprofit sector to do more for the environment and for the residents of Denver shows true leadership.”
