The Every Can Counts, launched in England in 2009, has planned to expand the programme in all 32 counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Currently, the programme is running in 12 countries across the EU.

Every Can Counts aims to encourage people to recycle aluminium cans in all environments including workplaces, universities and colleges, events, and festivals. Every Can Counts is a partnership formed between drink can manufacturers and the recycling industry.
Róisín O’Brien, Every Can Counts Programme Manager said “The Every Can Counts programme provides a strong message to raise awareness of recycling drink cans. When you consider that cans are endlessly recyclable with no loss of quality, then it makes perfect sense to recycle each and every can. Overall I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to expand the Every Can Counts programme across Ireland.”
Repak, the industry funded body for packaging recycling, has teamed up with European Aluminium and the Metal Packaging Europe to fund the programme, and to further the recycling of beverage cans in Ireland.
Seamus Clancy, CEO Repak stated: “Repak Limited welcomes the opportunity to partner with the Every Can Counts Ireland to drive and improve the message of metal can recycling. We need to continuously improve what we recycle and this is a very positive initiative that we are delighted to support”.
