Can Manufacturers Institute Offers Grants for Can Recycling

Beverage Industry News» Brewery Equipmentposted Oct 27th, 2020 03:15:15PM by Tom McCormick

The Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) will make grants available in 2021 to Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) for aluminum can capture equipment, which will ensure used beverage cans (UBC) are accurately sorted, sold and recycled.  Capturing and recycling aluminum cans provides a positive environmental and economic impact as metal recycles forever and UBCs are typically made into new cans, according to the CMI press release.

Aluminum beverage cans currently provide critical revenue to MRFs.  A CMI-funded study concluded that without the revenue from UBCs, most MRFs, which are vital to the U.S. recycling system since they sort single stream recyclables, would not be able to operate.  But, while UBCs are typically the most valuable commodity in the residential recycling stream, up to 25 percent of UBCs are missorted at a typical MRF.  These missorted cans can be captured with the right equipment, which would pay for itself with the additional revenue.

The Can Manufacturers Institute (SMI) is the national trade association of the metal can manufacturing industry and its suppliers in the United States. For more information on the grant, contact Mallory at mallory.schindler@finnpartners.com
